Learning Design Workshop: The 7 Cs of Learning Design

Invest two days of your time and get your course refreshed, revised, or online for the first time.

The 7Cs of Learning Design workshop is a highly interactive, face-to-face two-day workshop that enables academics and course teams to design effectively for learning. This hands-on workshop is based on a well rehearsed, well researched team approach to learning design using learning technologies.

Who is it for?

 • Lecturers and tutors who want guidance and inspiration for more effective, imaginative and creative uses of a virtual learning environment such as Moodle or Blackboard, and the Web, to enhance the learning process for learners
• Academics or course teams wanting to make the learning experience more interactive and engaging for learners – whether at the level of a whole course or at the level of elements within a course
• Anyone with responsibility for designing new courses or redesigning existing courses
• Support staff such as learning technologists, librarians or staff developers who are actively involved in conversations with academic staff about learning design

What will I get out of the session?

 By the end of the workshop, participants will have:
• Gained awareness and application of the range of resources, tools and methods which are available to support learning design, including learning design tools/methods and open educational resource repositories
• Considered a range of pedagogical approaches and the role played by different technologies in supporting these approaches
• Conceptualised the design process from different perspectives
• Developed an innovative storyboard to share with colleagues back in the office, to spark discussion around livening up a dry course
• Drafted an action plan for next steps in the design/ redesign process
