EMR Collaborative Project - Learning Resources from EMR

by - 02:01

Today, Lorna Doogan from EMR, emailed through a range of links and attachments of resources relating to the EMR Project.  

The significance of the resources is that they directly related to different parts of the design process that I am teaching to 10PSd at the moment.  I was able to embed the resources into the 10PSd Workspace for specific learning activities, available for viewing in the Workspace, and also shown in the screenshots that follow.

Need or Opportunity

The Need or Opportunity, is where students identify problems or issues relating to a context (in this particular instance, Experiencing Marine Reserves), and identify possible solutions to the problems.

The EMR Program Action Ideas resource enables the students to connect their ideas about problems relating to Marine Reserves, with some of the action plan ideas outlined in the resource.


Conceptual Statement

The Conceptual Statement is the statement within the DigiTech Project Design Brief, whereby students identify the outcome that will be developed (which is a multi-level game), the context that the game will relate to (Experiencing Marine Reserves), the target audience for the outcome, and either the problem that will be resolved or the purpose for developing the outcome.

The EMR Presentation Notes is a rewindable resource that enabled the students to reflect back to the theory session, and incorporate aspects of the presentation, into their thinking for writing their conceptual statement.



Research and Design Ideas

The Research and Design Ideas are where students develop a range of design ideas for their game; a range being a minimum of three design ideas.

The design ideas just need to give an idea of how the outcome might look and function.  The following is a simplified Design Idea Explanation that I created on the whiteboard for students.  However, the students were to develop their design ideas on the Slidedecks in the Evidence column in the Workspace.  I took a photograph of the Design Idea Explanation and included this in the Workspace for students.



The EMR Resources included in the Research and Design Ideas section of the Workspace, includes:
  • YOE - Love Our Ocean, which is a link to a website and collection of resources relating to Marine Concepts
  • Protection Our Marine World, which is a link to a website about how to protect our unique marine environment
