Last TEL dictionary update: Learning design

Nicolas Balacheff
91 days ago

Learning design has a definition which depends on the number of block letters one uses! With to block letters it is a formal specification of the same without them, and the latter means the activity of designing a learning environment. It is not exactly a joke even if it seems so... Actually,  the situation is better if one use "learning design" for the practice, and IMS LD for the formal specification; what is generally the case. By the way, this is a good example of the need we have for different words for different worlds in particular if we have to merge them in some situations.

But there is an other strange or funny story (it depends on your taste) : when one searches "learning design" in Wikipedia, one is directed to "instructional design". If I would accept that there is a tight relation between both expressions, I certainly not consider them as synonymous. Don't you?
