To assist staff in thinking about the design of their module teaching, we advocated the ABC Learning Design process (Young and Perovi\u0107, 2016) which is derived from Diana Laurillard’s Conversational Framework (2012). During the ABC design process learning activities are planned and pinned to teaching sessions; from this the overall shape of taught interactions then becomes clear in terms of six learning types \u2013 acquisition (read\/watch\/listen), inquiry, practice, production, discussion and collaboration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the original form this process is typically used for new module construction – for our move to a hybrid learning style almost all our modules pre-existed with learning outcomes, module content and assessment strategy already designed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In this context we offered customised CPD sessions showing our variant of the ABC process – taking existing modules and thinking about how they could be delivered online and in class in new ways, with the underlying Community of Inquiry and Networked Learning approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The customised version of the ABC modeller (an Excel spreadsheet) is available, along with a video demonstrating its use <\/p>\n\n\n\n
