Wealth of free resources and tools
Not fully exploited
Replicating bad pedagogy
Lack of time and skills
Learning Design
Shift from belief-based, implicit approaches to design-

I find the document quite thought-provoking, especially as a starting point in this journey for developing good understandings
I could understand the learning design process and would feel able to use this when designing some learning activities
It is iterative and so helps with ironing out any issues
But does it work?
ConsolidateEvaluate and embed your design
ConceptualiseWhat do we want to design, who for
and why?
