link to word doc

A report for the JISC E-learning Pedagogy Programme by Sandy Britain, May 2004

This is a draft report so the location/file name may change. It includes a review of software tools to support IMS Learning Design. As Britain writes on page 2,

· The first general idea behind learning design is that people learn better when actively involved in doing something (i.e are engaged in a learning activity).
· The second idea is that learning activities may be sequenced or otherwise structured carefully and deliberately in a learning workflow to promote more effective learning.
· The third idea is that it would be useful to be able to record ‘learning designs’ for sharing and re-use in the future.'
