Elements of Design
At LDDI, we move beyond the course content “putting things online,” and focus on how students best learn. While we cannot design learning itself, we can design FOR learning. This series of resources provide guidance on major elements of designing for learning, including writing learning outcomes, constructive alignment and designing assessments, formative activities and learning materials. We strive to work with instructors and create engaging learning experiences for the students while they connect with the course content.
