Pt. 2: Analysis

Pt. 2. Analysis.

A bubbling need has been identified:  Current methods of content delivery and discovery are sub-optimal for learning.  But how can this be changed?

How do we replace this verbal interaction within the first stages of systems analysis? A common answer would be to hold faux interviews for the students; but how can this be done with 20 students in an hour or two, and still allow time for the critical discussion between seminar leaders and peers? The simple answer, it can't.  And even if you had the time, do you allow the other students to listen in on each interview? If not what do they do during the other interviews?


The obvious stakeholders were identified. Namely the students and seminars leaders at this stage, with the interests of module and course designers as secondary considerations.

We have the technology, we can re-build it!

So do we have a vector by which we can deliver this verbal discussion? Well perhaps not quite as we would like, but we can certainly approximate a real world scenario.  Whilst the learners themselves may not be able to ask detailed questions themselves, pod-casts would at least allow a verbal, pseudo real-time account of a current or desired system, allowing the learner to be a 'fly on the wall' and create notes on the problem.

And so a solution has been conceived... the next step: Design...
