The Learning Design Support Environment (LDSE) Project is working with practising teachers to research, and co-construct, an interactive Learning Design Support Environment (LDSE) to scaffold teachers’ decision-making from basic planning to creative TEL design.  The LDSE captures and represents a user’s learning design (at module and session level), structuring the user input so that it is amenable to analysis (in terms of learning experience and teaching time), and can also be adopted and adapted by others. Key areas the LDSE is investigating include:

• Forms of representation of learning designs
• An ontology for learning design
• Designing at Module and Session levels
• Importing and adapting an existing design
• Selecting from existing teaching-learning activities
• Editing the properties of TLAs
• Extensive advice and guidance
• Analysis of teaching costs and learning benefits
• Sharing specific and generic patterns
• Exporting a design to an institutional format
