A learning design methodology to foster and support creativity in design

This paper describes a project that is exploring the development of a learning design methodology. It describes work to date (user consultations, workshops, interviews and resource/tool development) and in particular iterative development of a prototype learning design system, CompendiumLD, to help designers/teachers create and share learning activities. Our goal is to build on recent research on learning design to develop a methodology that provides support to the course design process with an emphasis on the use of technologyenhanced learning. This includes elicitation of current practice in design, identification of relevant resources and development of a prototype learning design tool. We believe it will be of interest and use to individual teachers and course teams, but also others involved in the design process tasked with helping course teams translate their ideas into technical solutions.
