The Learning Designer is a microworld and online platform that allows teachers to design, adopt, adapt, analyze, experiment with, and share learning designs. It helps teachers import "pedagogical patterns" of good teaching and open resources. Teachers can model learning design sequences, describe activities with titles and resources, and compare the benefits of different designs. The goal is to provide teachers with formal ways to articulate and share pedagogy both with other teachers and computers.
