The CoMo project
• PI: Niall Winters, London Knowledge Lab• 2007-2008, collaboration with Kim
Whittlestone, Royal Veterinary College, • funded by Centre for Distance Education,
University of London

Methodology• Observe: ethnographic study of the particular context of learning. Following
learners through their daily routine, recording their actions with video and stills, interviewing students and tutors inaction.
=> identify the existing ecology of resources, common practices and needs.• Identify: gaps in existing practice, which can be addressed by new technology.• Blend: how will the new technology, & new practices derived from it, fit in with
the existing ecology.• Sketch: draw visual scenarios of specific activities in which the new technology
plays a part.• Poll: present these sketches to as wide an audience as possible, collect feedback
and adjust the design.• Enhance: deploy the technology, guide learners in using it to improve their
learning experience.• Perturb: challenge learners and teachers with new possibilities emerging from the
technology as they have adopted it.

Stage I: Teacher Interviews
• Collect narratives of current practices• Construct thick descriptions of learning
contexts (user stories)• Identify teacher ( & learner) concerns

Example: teacher input
Year 4 and 5 students spend most of their 2nd term on rotations, in groups of 5-6. Each week each group joins one hospital department or get distributed between vets in the field, and participate in clinical work.
During hospital rotations students have tutorials, where they meet with their academic tutor and discuss the cases they saw.

Example: User StoryElizabeth is out on EMS and is being driven by her supervising vet to a farm
where they have a cow which they suspect may be pregnant. Whilst in the car Elizabeth uses her phone to log into her myPad and searches for Haptic. She locates an entry see made whilst she was in the 4th year about her experiences of using the Haptic cow to feel a pregnant cow. She discusses her findings with her supervising Vet.
The Vet raises some interesting points regarding feeling for pregnancy and so Elizabeth sends an SMS noting the points to her myPad.
Later on Elizabeth logs onto myPad from a full browser and locates the Haptic entry she was viewing earlier whilst in the car on the way to the farm. She edits the entry and adds the note that she sent into her myThoughts area earlier. She uses the formatting options to quote the points the supervising vet made to her and comments on her feelings towards them.

Student Concerns• Highly motivated and dedicated to the profession.
Seeking ways to improve their learning.• Concerned about the responsibility they will face
as novice clinicians. • Need to master detailed procedural knowledge
for a very broad spectrum of situations.• Not confident in their knowledge and their peers.
Seek authority.• High study load. Very little free time during
rotations (but a lot of dead time).

Teacher Concerns• More concerned about students' meta-skills:
o observation, diagnosis, analysis• Want to promote reflective practice and
collaborative learning.• Keeping in touch with students on rotation is a
challenge

The Cafeteria Procedure
Distributed scenarios to groups of students with the instructions:• Go through the scenario, "put yourself in the
picture".• Ask for clarifications where they are needed
(if you don't understand something - it's our fault!)
• Add your comments on the side.• Add your details on the top if you wish to be
contacted / participate in the experiment.

The Como scenario
• Snap• Tag• Blog• Revisit• Review• Co-Reflect

Snap!
During clinical session, one student uses the camera phone to take visual notes, while the others use the clipboards as usual.

Tag!
Tags: dog, cat scan, epilepsyDescription: notice the twitching leg.
The same student quickly tags and uploads the visual note

Blog!
Notes are collated on group blog, to serve as anchors for subsequent reflections.

Revist
Students use "dead time" to add questions and observations from their notes as comments.

Co-Reflect (tutorial)
Using remote conferencing, and referring to the blog, tutor addresses issues which emerge from this week's experiences.

Stage IV: design & deploy
• Collated student feedback to scenarios.• Collected teacher responses to student
feedback.• Updated scenario & implemented:
– N70 phones + ShoZu + Flickr– Short induction period for each student group

Social: social relationships between student are an important support frameworkMemory jog: snapshots of key incidents facilitated group reflectionClinical subjects and procedures were documented for discussionTemporal analysis: students documented case progression over time

Learning Gains
• Allowed tutors and students to discuss “the case presentations”
• Gave teachers a “window on what the students’ attention was”
• “I took a picture of something I didn't think would be that interesting, something we do everyday . . . it reminded [student A] of a point in rounds she wanted to bring up”

Questions
• What can we do now that we couldn’t do then?
• What do existing off the shelf technologies offer in terms of learner modelling, and how can LM augment learning?
• Is the methodology relevant for you?
