DiAL-e: Digital Artifacts for Learner Engagement

Digital Artifacts for Learner Engagement: using digital artifacts in learning and teaching practice. Originally constructed to promote the use of digitized film archives, the learning patterns that have evolved throughout the project have proved transferable to a range of other digital media as well. This Channel and its associated website (https://sijen.com/research-interests/dial-e-project/) support this work.

The DiAL-e Framework is designed to support educators to use digital resources (artifacts) effectively based on learning and teaching intent, rather than on content. Professor Kevin Burden (Hull) and Simon Paul Atkinson have been developing the framework which was inspired by a JISC project (2006-2008) to support the take-up of digitized artifacts from the NewsFilm Online project. It now works across all digitized artifacts and all disciplines.
