Dimensions of Learning Hub
Dimensions of Learning (DoL) Hub for 2010
In recent years ANSN has provided professional learning opportunities in the ‘Dimensions of Learning’, based on research by the Mid-continent Research for Education and Learning (McREL) organisation and related practical experience. In 2010, teachers and school leaders – as individuals and teams – will again be able to join an ANSN DoL Hub, where they will explore instructional design models related to the five types of thinking (DoL) that are essential to successful learning.
Work in the Hub is based on the premise that all learning takes place against the backdrop of learners’ attitudes and perceptions (Dimension 1) and their use (or lack of use) of productive habits of mind (Dimension 5). Dimensions 2, 3 and 4 examine ways of viewing instructional strategies and assessment as types of thinking that allow students to take accountability for their own learning. There is an emphasis on collaborative work in DoL programs (below left), which are led by ANSN national networkers Hanan Harrison (below centre) and Tina Doe (below right).

In addition to the introductory Hub work, ANSN also offers three-day Advanced Workshops in Dimension of Learning. These are designed for educators who currently use DoL as their learning design framework, to help them enhance their classroom practice further, through an alignment of curriculum, pedagogy and assessment For details, click here

Tina Doe, August 2009
To conclude its 3-day program, the Nudgee Dimensions of Learning (DoL) Advanced Hub held its Showcase day on Monday 27 July.
The following short reports of presentations during the day illustrate the breadth and depth of work that the participants undertook, and which they presented to their peers. Conceptualised and elaborated during the initial two days of this action learning Hub, the projects were individual or school team-based, and contextualised to the learning site and the relevant DoL priority/incentive.
