Sequence: Learning Design
Sequence Information Sequence: Learning Design Description: Subject: learning design
In this high-quality multimedia lecture (to be included in a computer assisted language course), I will present some of my viewpoints on current trends in learning design. The lecture therefore commences with a look at two well-known definitions of learning design and then discusses Gráinne Conole's new book on learning design. After that, I describe some of the better-known pedagogic planners suggesting that we now should be moving to second-generation planners that are able to create high-quality runnable versions. There is also some discussion on the universal learning design trend to share/reuse good ideas. Next, a detailed explanation of the way I go about designing e-learning courses is described and an example of a full LAMS e-lecture on computer assisted language learning and a full LAMS e-course on research methods in Applied Linguistics and TESOL is provided. Finally, I draw attention to the need to think about what learning actually is and I also emphasise the importance of keeping up with technology. This lecture therefore may be of interest to those currently involved in, or new to, learning design. It may also be a useful reference point for TEL students.
