Background context

As well as forming part of the JISC Design for Learning programme, the project is a direct descendant of the  Learning Design Tools project and other predecessor projects in the E-learning and Pedagogy strand.

It will build on the field-based research carried out by LD Tools, together with materials created by other projects and content from the Effective Practice workshops, in order to create a flexible online planning tool that will enable teaching staff and learning technologists to develop their confidence and skills in designing effective technology-mediated learning experiences.

Within the current programme, the project will complement the parallel User-Oriented Planner for Learning Analysis and Design project and draw further input from the models of practice produced by the Mod4L project. It will additionally collaborate with the Support project to facilitate users’ access to the exemplars and learning designs hosted by that project.
