Hi, and thanks for your message.

In response to your question - it was interesting for us to observe that even though we set no restrictions on where/when the learning design had to be implemented all of our participants choose to use the online learning design in the classroom as a 'regular' lesson. This meant in the design phase they were conscious to design a task they believed could be completed in the length of an average school lesson (dependent on the age and context of their prac class). Upon reflection, it was apparent for some students that, when their task was completed by children, the time frame could well be very different from what they had planned for. Part of this was as a result of the learning environment being new to the children - the student-teachers found they had to spend additional time teaching about the environment, on top of the time taken for the children to complete the online task. Some of them had not expected this or planned for it.

You are certainly correct - it is very difficulty for any of us to accurately predict time in these new learning environments.
