The document discusses four options for staff engagement and support when using the Open University Learning Design Initiative (OULDI) Toolbox: 1) Independent use of openly available materials, 2) Peer support via an online community, 3) Tailored events for introducing tools and sharing designs, and 4) 'Side-by-side' mentoring over a specific period of time. The goal is to promote innovative thinking, reflection, and intellectual debate around designing effective learning activities using the OULDI Toolbox's tools and resources.

Staff engagement and support Option 1: Independent Option 3: Tailored events Option 2: Community peer support Option 4: ‘Side-by-side’ mentoring The OULDI activities, schema, resources and tools are available openly on Cloudworks, and designed to be self-explanatory. Materials promote innovative thinking, practitioner reflection and evaluation Support and guidance available from members of the OULDI team and/or support from peers/mentors via the Cloudworks community. This support may be augmented by real or virtual events allowing for reflection, integration and extension of new knowledge, new practices and intellectual debate over time Open University Learning Design Toolbox A series of tailored real and/or virtual workshops and events which introduce tools, resources and methodologies for each stage of the design process, and provide opportunities for teachers and designers to develop and co-create learning designs Focused one-to-one guidance and support for a course team over a specific period of time in the use of methodologies, tools and resources. A suite of tools and resources to support pedagogically effective design of learning activities, and which support existing design practices.
