What is Learning Design ?


What is learning Design?

Learning design is a process of designing units of learning, learning activities or learning environment. (http://edutechwiki.unige.ch/en/Learning_design)

Learning Designs are pedagogically informed learning activities which make effective use of appropriate tools and resources” (Conole & Fill, 2005)

The core of learning Design can be summarised as the view that, when learning, people in specific groups and roles engage in activities using an environment with appropriate resources and services. (Koper & Tattersall, 2005).

Learning Design describes the process of education - the sequences of activities facilitated by an educator that are often at the heart of small group teaching.”(James Dalziel, 2007)
