Abstract
In her Conversational Framework, Diana Laurillard characterises learning as an iterative relationship developing between learner and teacher, content and learner, learner and learner, with many other players, like context, the individual's world view and prior knowledge, influencing the learning outcomes. Socio-constructivist perspectives on learning warn against focusing too much attention on the computer in the learning transaction. My Electronic Media Design students need to know how to create online resources that engage the user in learning rather than making them passive observers. In my attempt to realise the principles formulated by conversational and socio-constructivist perspectives for these students, I explored ways to use the networked interconnectedness of the internet together with the potential richness of multi-media to make an Online Resourced Learning Space, a place/space of guided opportunities to learn, research, trial and produce. This paper outlines ways of reconfiguring teaching resources as participants in a conversation to engage, sustain, and provoke a learning response from students online or offline.
