iLearn provides a framework for developing engaging activities that take into account a number of different branches of development from both a professional and learner perspective. The benefit of the framework is it enables us to take a "big picture" approach to activity development, ensuring we develop activities that are rich in technology, rich in content, focused on the learner, and not designed as simple rote tasks. It also ensures we (as facilitators) review our process of development.
As we become more familiar with Web 2.0 apps, we will find too that integrating higher levels of technology is easier. If we review our use of technology against both the iLearn framework and Blooms Digital Taxonomy, we can ensure the activity is pitched at the right level, or is ensuring an outcome that is consistent with the intentions of the activity.
While programming each term, I find it highly valuable to review the iLearn framework, Blooms and Apple's CBL framework. Each of these demonstrate and help to structure the integration of high-level technology, while ensuring that each activity is developed as learner-centric.
