Learning Design in Practice ─ Fostering Different Pedagogical Approaches

Learning Design provides tools, design methods, and approaches that will help anyone design pedagogically effective learning activities and curricula which make effective use of available technologies. New technologies facilitate different pedagogical approaches and offer a wealth of ways in which learners can communicate and collaborate, but there has so far been a gap between the potential of these technologies and their actual use in practice.

Learning Design provides a practical overview of new approaches to design, including conceptual views, a series of design activities, resources on learning design and workshop outlines. This book will enable readers to design and deliver more effective, pedagogically-informed learning and maximize use of technologies to enhance the learner experience.
