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:

Software

Software indexes

• List of tools at Unfold

Editors

• Reload LD editor and player. The Learning Design Editor (based on the IMS Learning Design specifications) allows the creation of re-usable "Pedagogical Templates" allowing the user to define a set of Learning Objectives, Activities and Learning Environments. These templates can be re-purposed with the user's own content to create on-line Learning Design compliant resources.
  • Free, Java/Eclipse based, cross-platform
  • Supports Levels A,B,C

• 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)
