With regards to Assignment 3,
we've chosen to discuss bout the cabbie case study:
we find that there is a contradiction between the road regulations and the customer service policies. Taxi companies usually ask for good service from their taxi drivers yet at the same time, require them to observe the road regulations. This forms a contradiction in their instructional design. for example, taxi drivers with empty cabs not picking up passengers or do not stop at a desired place requested by the passenger might receive complaints. However, it may also be due to the taxi drivers who are unaware of the "innovations" that is changes to road regulations. Hence, we've assessed that our learning objective in this case is to strike a balance between road safety and customer service, reinforce good driving habits and keeping taxi drivers updated of changes. The models employed in this case are thus, the problem solving model and the innovation model.
p.s. this is just a brief idea of what we've done... =)

Been a crazy week and have been lacking updates in the blog... >.<
Anyway here's a short sum up for week 4's reading..
From the reading, i've learnt that the essential elements in a learning design includes learner agreement, the acknowledgement of the learning context, the learner challenge as well as the provision of practice.
After my tutorial and looking at other group's learning designs (with some maths and making nasi lemak learning designs that was discussed in class, i must admit i was pretty impressed by the maths one! >.<), i realise people have differing opinions on wad are the steps in a learning design. For example, in making a cake, i would have thought that searching for a recipe comes first, whereas others may feel that buying ingredients is the first step (as sometimes the ingredients have receipes printed at the back of the packaging).
Also, from the reading: there are various learning designs. Generally there are four of them. They are rule-based, incident-based, strategy-based and role-based learning designs.
These designs can help to plan learning experiences according to different learners and can be used in combinations at times to cater to different learners so as to achieve the desired outcome. I don't know if i'm right in this but with respect to the local education system, i personally feel that it have move through the various learning designs across time. The past education system tends to be incident and role based whereas the present one seem to be rather strategy-based instead. Just my two cents worth on wk 4's reading.. >.<
