The Learning Designer

The Learning Designer is an online tool which helps the educators to plan their teaching. This tool helps the educator to design the activities for a particular lesson or a group of lessons. It encourages the educator to think about the learning experiences they are planning for their learners to help them achieve their learning outcome.

At the beginning, one must input the lesson title, the topic, description of the lesson, the aims and outcomes. The learning outcomes can be based around Bloom’s Taxonomy pedagogy in learning domains.

The tool is based on the six learning types from Diana Laurillard’s Conversational Framework – a model of the conditions necessary for learning to take place. The six learning types are: Read/Write/Listen (or Acquisition), Inquiry, Practice, Production, Discussion and Collaboration. In principle, a good learning design will contain a mix of all of these types of learning. The Learning Designer encourages the educator to aim for FCL rather than a traditional teaching setting.
