A “
learning design” is defined as the description of the teaching-
learning process that takes place in the unit of
learning. A “unit of
learning” can be any instructional or
learning event of any granularity, for example, a course, a workshop, a lesson, or an informal
learning event. The key principle in
learning design is that it represents the
learning activities and the support activities that are performed by different persons (learners, teachers) in the context of a unit of
learning. These activities can refer to different
learning objects that are used during the performance of the activities (e.g., books, articles, software programmes, pictures), and it can refer to services (e.g., forums, chats, wiki’s) that are used to collaborate and to communicate in the teaching-
learning process (Koper, 2006).
