OLDS MOOC – Week 3
Learning outcomes
• Conceptualise the learning design process from
  different perspectives
• Apply a range of learning design resources, tools
  and methods to a learning intervention
• Critique a range of pedagogical approaches and
  the role played by different technologies in
  supporting these
• Review and debate the theoretical underpinnings
  of learning design
• Develop an innovative storyboard, learning
  activities and a structure for implementation
Promise and reality
Social and
participatory media
offer new ways to
communicate and
collaborate
                      Not fully exploited
Wealth of free        Replicating bad pedagogy
resources and tools
                      Lack of time and skills
Learning Design
     Shift from belief-based, implicit
   approaches to design-based, explicit
               approaches

                Learning Design
            A design-based approach to
          creation and support of courses



Encourages reflective, scholarly practices
   Promotes sharing and discussion
