Foundations of Teaching for Learning: Introduction

The Foundations of Teaching for Learning program is designed for anyone who teaches, or aspires to teach, in any subject and context, whether at school, at home, or in the workplace.

Education is in a state of flux: transitioning from traditional architectures and practices to new ecologies of teaching and learning influenced by the tremendous social and technological changes of our time.

For three decades and more, we have heard educators and technologists champion the transformative power of technology in learning. Yet, despite the rhetoric, in many ways and in most institutional settings, education remains relatively untouched by technology.

Intermediate Courses:

Learning Experience Design: Orientation to the Profession

In Orientation to the Profession, you’ll be introduced to the “big ideas” of LXD. Begin with the essential aspects of the design process, from ideation to evaluation. During this section, you’ll also take a brief look at learning theories and design frameworks that help LXDs move from an initial concept to a completed course.

In Theories and Frameworks, you’ll take a close look at learners and learning contexts. As you define your target audience, you’ll learn how to use learner personas as a communication tool with stakeholders and how these can be used to influence learning goals, assessments, and activities.

Development and Evaluation allows you to build on your knowledge of how people learn and use your understanding of learning design frameworks to bring your own learning designs to life! As you conceptualize assessment as a communication tool, you’ll consider the role of diagnostic, formative, and summative assessments.

Where to begin when innovating in teaching? But first, what does it mean to innovate in the classroom? Designing Pedagogical Innovation aims to put design principles at the service of pedagogical innovation, supporting those without specific pedagogical training and those who wish to learn the basic tools of good pedagogical design before exploring the frontiers of innovation.

Advance Courses:

Learning to Teach Online

Are you an educator? Have you ever wanted to learn more about designing your classes to make better use of educational technology, whether fully online or in blended learning environments? Would you like to learn from those with extensive practical experience using online technologies?

In “Strategizing the Use of Generative AI in Learning Design,” you will explore how learning designers can partner with various stakeholders to use generative AI responsibly during the design process.
