Learning Designer

This is an early release of the Learning designer suite of tools. Please be aware that only part of the envisaged functionality is currently working.

The Learning Designer suite of tools enables teachers to share their good teaching ideas. It is intended to help a subject teacher see how a particular pedagogic approach can be migrated successfully across different topics. There are sample patterns to browse and edit, or you can design your own from scratch.

 

‘Browser' offers a collection of pedagogical patterns, which you can redesign for your own teaching practice.

 

‘Designer' presents the pedagogical pattern template to help you describe your own teaching idea for a session (e.g. student preparation, class activities and homework).
