IMS Learning Design

Draft

Definition

• IMS Learning Design is a formal pedagogical standard, a

(educational modeling language) to describe rich technology supported pedagogical scenarios

• IMS Learning Design as opposed to IMS Simple Sequencing/SCORM

focuses on the organization of learning activities.

• LD has evolved from Educational Markup Language (EML).

Conceptual Structure of the Learning Design

For the moment just a little picture:

Editors

• Reload LD editor and player

• MOT+ The editor from the MISA method

(does LD level A). Note: This editor is free for non-commercial use (but difficult to find).

On-line Scenario Editors

• DialogPlus Toolkit. This guidance toolkit is being developed, as

part of the JISC/NSF funded DialogPlus project, to guide and support teachers as they create, modify, and share learning activities and resources. It can export to IMS Learning Design (which level ?).

Servers

• LAMS (not LD, but close).

• Gridcole

(article that describes the system)
