Online module: Learning design

Introduction

Teachers are constantly responding and adapting to changing circumstances and stimuli - the feedback of students and stakeholders, changing fields of knowledge, resource constraints, and the ever-expanding choices of technologies and pedagogies. Paying attention to design - as both a process of planning and as a product of the design process - gives educators the opportunity to concentrate on making a change that better supports students to learn, whether focused at the level of a learning activity or whole learning environments, courses and programs. 

This module provides an overview of the key concepts and terminology, principles and approaches relevant to designing for learning and teaching at UniSA.
