The Learning Designer

The Learning Designer helps teachers and lecturers design teaching and learning activities using the six learning types from the Conversational Framework.

It also provides some feedback on your design by showing you the proportion of each of the different learning types in your eventual design in the form of a pie chart, so you can see where you might need to make adjustments.

Watch the video below to find out how to use the Learning Designer tool:
