An analysis of the requirements for a toolbox to be designed and built by the EU The Origin of Spaces project. The toolbox will help people create Social Enterprises and Co-Working Hubs (creative spaces) based on our key principles of working with local partnerships, participatory governance and ecological transitions

7. #oosEU Context is Queen
Bilbao Bordeaux Lewisham Lisboa Pula
• Needs Analysis (NA); #oosEU partners are users!
• Jacob Nielsen useit.com “even asking one person
improves usability”
• NA reveals that we are not traditional learners
• SUMMARY Seems like most people want 2 things
• 1. Clear step-by-step guides to doing useful things
(as part of a personal development process)
• 2. Links to resources that match that need BUT
provided as compelling stories
8. #oosEU Context is Queen
Bilbao Bordeaux Lewisham Lisboa Pula
• Needs Analysis; Full SUMMARY
• Successful development processes & Inspiring Stories
• Getting finance partners & developmental advice. Also big problems
with lack of work TIME to get things done
• Work overload! Not enough Guidance! Not enough TIME
• A really range of skills, some outside OOS project scope!
• Really wide range of learning examples, but NOT education.
More from informal learning interests and experience!
• Diverse set of learning needs (& interests)
• People interested in all aspects of the OOS project

#oosEU Needs Analysis LEARNING DESIGN
Bilbao Bordeaux Lewisham Lisboa Pula
10. #oosEU Context is Queen
Bilbao Bordeaux Lewisham Lisboa Pula
• Learning Design;
• Not institutionally based (Education)
• Very much a “Just-in-time” requirement e.g.
“Participatory Government docs now please”
• Diverse learning needs & Preferences
• From my perspective a structured model
• Taking people from a self-determined point e
to a useful point f
• I know this (e) and I want to know that (f)
11. #oosEU Context is Queen
Bilbao Bordeaux Lewisham Lisboa Pula
• Learning Design; 3 requirements
• Structure; the scaffolding of learning
opportunities and the relationships
• Content; Resources used in helping people learn
• Community; the networks available for
supporting learners.
• We have to get Structure right (discussed)
12. #oosEU Context is Queen
Bilbao Bordeaux Lewisham Lisboa Pula
• Learning Design; some background
• Community Development Model of Learning
• Open Context Model of Learning
• Social Media Learning Models
• Architectures of Participation
• Emergent Learning Model - WikiQuals
13. WikiQuals “Yes You Can!”
Learning not Education
Liminal not Institutionalised
Bio-diversity not Monoculture
Learner-centric not Student-centred
Learner-generated not Course-defined
Community as Curriculum not Syllabus defined
Community of Sqolars not Community of Practice
Personal Learning Networks not Content-delivery
Quality Assured not Quality Controlled
Affinity not Supervision
Emergent not Linear
Trust the learner to find their own Identity
14. #oosEU Toolbox Curated Conversation
An encouraging community sharing platform of different practice
Bilbao Bordeaux Lewisham Lisboa Pula
15. #oosEU Toolbox - overview
Bilbao Bordeaux Lewisham Lisboa Pula
• Our Curated Conversation – we said;
• Supporting the creation of new creative spaces
• Offering an online Toolbox with a range of tools
• Creating collaborative communities
• Developing the eco-system of people &
resources necessary to evolve economically
16. #oosEU Toolbox - Fernando

• I hope the Origin of Spaces Toolbox will be
an up-to-date power tool for all willing to
create or develop new creative spaces.
• Specifically I hope these spaces will also
be the new learning spaces instead of the
dull school we still experience today
• This toolbox will surely help all…
17. #oosEU Toolbox - Ruth
Bilbao Bordeaux Lewisham Lisboa Pula
• I wish the toolbox will become a collaborative
tool that could grow and evolve over time. With
an open shape that can receive input & changes
• A tool that is accessible to all kind of people
(blind, deaf, gender equality etc)
• A tool for the long term that could last in time,
technically dependent on a project care holder
18. #oosEU Toolbox – Bordeaux1
Bilbao Bordeaux Lewisham Lisboa Pula
• To make a sustainable and profitable
platform addressing: how to motivate the
users to go to the platform ?
• Useful - Easy - Dynamic - Inclusive -
Reusable- Evolutive - Multiple - Dynamique -
Funny- Concrete- Sustainable
• Also to evaluate the impact of the tool
19. #oosEU Toolbox - overview
Bilbao Bordeaux Lewisham Lisboa Pula
• Ideally the toolbox should adapt to future new
audiences…
• Tagged by interest and key words that can create
different paths and connections.
• In such a way that will allow others to learn on
different levels using different learning styles
and methods.
• It should support different levels of users,
advanced and non-advanced from specific sectors

21. #oosEU Context is Queen
Bilbao Bordeaux Lewisham Lisboa Pula
• Building a Different Meaningful Toolbox
• Run a MOOC in September to share our
research findings & find existing resources
• Structure; self-determined learning model
• Content; Use Bibblio / xtlearn for storage
• Community; make each #oosEU partner
the lead group for their expertise

• Learning Design Structure; 3 layers
• 1 User self-identification (identity)
• 2 Access to resources (Topology)
• 3 Pathways to be undertaken (journeys)
• No learner tracking! (but)
• Suggest sharing pathways… (e.g. xtlearn)

• 2 Each partner’s expertise
• 3 Resources from the MOOC to be shared
• Minimize maintenance…
• (Create an Open Source Documentation
repository for Economy 2.0)
25. #oosEU Context is Queen
Bilbao Bordeaux Lewisham Lisboa Pula
• Learning Design Community;
• Cannot be supported (but)
