This document outlines Gráinne Conole's presentation on designing for learning in an open world. The presentation discusses the evolving landscape of e-learning, including emerging technologies, learner experiences, new pedagogies, and open practices. It also examines teacher practices and paradoxes, and strategies for change, including intervention frameworks and new approaches to learning design. Key research questions are posed around learner and teacher experiences with technologies, available resources and pedagogical patterns, emerging e-pedagogies, and strategies to promote e-learning.
