The approach course teams take when designing courses and programs of study is critical to student success. Creating active and authentic learning experiences is a vital aspect of learning design. Designing such experiences using digital solutions and ecosystems requires course teams to continually develop their digital literacy within the context of various academic disciplines and the potential professional pathways of those disciplines.
With these things in mind, Teesside University and Jisc UK have developed a Digital Learning Design Framework and Toolkit. The framework and toolkit were created to help nurture and cultivate the digital confidence and fluencies of teaching staff who design and deliver courses, challenging them to think about learning design and the intersection of pedagogy and digital solutions to map the student learning journey. The framework and toolkit provide course teams with opportunities to do things differently.
