2. Types of LD tools
• Conceptual LD tools
– Guidance & Support, Visualisation & Representation
• Technical LD tools
– Implementation & deployment
• Sharing and discussing LD tools
– Repositories and sharing tools

4. Use
• As a conceptual underpinning to the architecture
of the ILDE
• As a blueprint for the creation of workshops
– Each workshop being a pick and mix through the LD
tools in the framework
– Workshops tailored to local contexts and needs
– One example might be the LD studio format, the UoL
workshops, workshops focusing on collaboration, etc.
• Provides a structured and logical representation
of the relationship between the different
components of ILDE

7. Other thoughts
• Search repositories via key words
– Pedagogical approaches
– Discipline
– Use of technologies
• Key words linked to feeder repositories
• For each LD conceptual view, designers are
encouraged to share their outputs back to the
LD database

8. Linking the LD conceptual tools
• Fostering collaboration
– Course features – collaboration
– Resource audit – collaborative OER and Ped. Patterns
– Course map – includes a Jigsaw activity
– Task swimlane – outlines the Jigsaw activity
• Dialogic learning
– Course features – dialogic learning
– Resource audit – communicative Ped. Patterns and LDs
– Course map – numerous communication activities
– Activity profile – high % of communication tasks

11. Discussion
• Value of this approach?
• What are the limitations?
• Is there anything missing?
• What alternatives are there?
• How difficult will it be technically?
