The very best since long time! Excelllent tool as such
Dear Grainne,
I found your slideshare useful. I think that some of the approaches can be mingled, i.e. when I think of a constructivist approach, I think as well of situated learning and collaborative learning, or e-assessment as formative, peer feedback, eportfolio, reflective.
I think that Bandura's self-efficacy is also achieved when people are in an online learning and get the satisfaction and gain the confidence to work on something new and are successful in the learning outcomes - http://youtu.be/wrzzbaomLmc
Your storyboard organizer gave me the idea to adopt it to my project. I'm going to use Glogster.

Hi Grainne
The presentation and the 7Cs are really useful, in as you say, "puling everything together". I agree that making elements of the design process explicit is very useful, but I also think this is a huge challenge as implicitly a lot of practitioners/teachers will almost naturally multitask and work at several levels at a time. Again I think this is one of the reasons the card approaches exemplified by OULDI and Viewpoints work so well. They break things down and help the create explicit discussions.
From last week the "C" that has been on my mind is "context" which is perhaps more implicit in the 7C's approach. I've been thinking quite a bit of the learning environment/learner context in relation to Cloudworks ( see http://blogs.cetis.ac.uk/sheilamacneill/2013/01/18/oldmooc-week-2-context-and-personal-learning-spaces/ and http://blogs.cetis.ac.uk/sheilamacneill/2013/01/14/cloud-gazing-maps-and-networks-some-thoughts-on-oldsmooc-so-far/) and MOOCs, particularly this kind of cMOOC or p(project) MOOC. When designing for this type of course, I think that there needs to be more of an emphasis on the learners environment and the design choices for delivery of activities. How can we as designers ensure that there is continuity (another C) for the learning in terms of their comfort and confidence in interacting with a range of online spaces? I don't have any answers but I do think that the community/sharing elements of cloudworks could be really powerful in helping learners contextualise their learning and importantly their learning community.
I really like order of the 7Cs and the layers of each. I mentioned before the Grainne that under capture we could also capture samples of work, say from former students, to model concepts. Modelling is a great way of learning.
