ABC Learning Design
The document describes ABC Learning Design, a time-bound (90 minute), activity-based workshop used at UCL since 2015 to facilitate curriculum design. It is deliberately analogue and based on theory. The workshop uses a conversational and creative approach to develop a shared vision and narrative for curriculum through storyboarding. ABC has been used to design over 250 UCL modules and was further developed through an Erasmus+ project involving 13 universities. The project produced guidance tools and a downloadable ABC toolkit to support blended learning design globally. Evaluation found ABC effectively helped participants discuss curriculum strategies, (re)design courses, and develop teaching confidence.
