Current Issues in Learning Design
• Templates vs “embedded content”
– Direct re-use vs “inspiration” (cf patterns and the creative leap)
– Are textbook publishers the missing (content) link?
• From Learning Design to Curriculum Design
– Different “levels” of Learning Design – a task (1-10 minutes); a
module/sequence (1 hour/1 day/1 week); a course (2-13
weeks), an institutional approach (eg, medical degree)
– Recent JISC projects, especially Viewpoints and OULDI
• Linking activity descriptions to pedagogical descriptions
– LDSE/Learning Designer project from London Knowledge Lab

Current Issues in Learning Design
• Challenges include:
– Lack of general awareness of Learning Design field
– Confusion over differences between Instructional Design and
Learning Design, and “US” vs “European” approaches
– Time demands required for implementation
– Unrecognised amid the “noise” of education technology
• LD is a “deep” innovation, but harder to explain than a “clicker”
• But significant opportunities around educational reform,
especially ideas like 21st Century skills; Generic
Attributes of a Graduate; the “flipped” classroom

Current Issues in Learning Design
• Where to next?
– The field is making good progress on fleshing out the large
“landscape” of issues covered by Learning Design
• See especially new Laurillard and Conole Learning Design books
– Broad adoption yet to occur – do we need more:
• Templates with better advice? (eg, Practical eTeaching Strategies)
• Content (collaboration with publishers?)
• Simplicity in Learning Design tools?
• Marketing?
• Regardless of immediate ups and downs, Learning Design has
much to contribute in the future
– As its goals are the same as those of a typical educator each day
