LEARNING DESIGN

Learning design is a systematic and disciplined process which ensures that you create effective and efficient learning programs.

Learning design is a cyclical process. It involves planning, developing, implementing and evaluating.

A thorough and systematic planning phase lays the foundation for developing a successful learning program. The planning process ensures that you

• analyse the learning need
• profile your learners
• determine learning outcomes
• devise an assessment strategy
• decide the optimal teaching / learning model
• research and evaluate existing learning resources
• plan for all new resources required
• select appropriate learning technologies
• design your evaluation strategies

Only after all these planning tasks have been completed, are you ready to start the development phase. During and after implementation, the program is evaluated and enhancements are planned.
