Learning ecosystems design is a powerful
mindset for transforming learning

9.
A learning ecosystem is that it is an entity made up of
components that work together to create a whole
learning experience.
The relationship between the components means that
the overall experience becomes more than the sum of
its parts.

What does a learning ecosystem designer do?
Does more than design courses
Designs relationships between
the components
Takes into account the current
learning landscape
Designs for the long term
Makes pathways
