This list is provided to help you identify and browse sets of Learning Designs with common characteristics in terms of a major 'learning focus'.

Though the focus groupings are neither exclusive nor formally defined, each exemplar has been classified under one only. This classification is, however, by no means absolute: many of the exemplars have strong elements drawn from the general characterisics you will discern in several learning focuses.




Focus choices:

Collaborative
Concept/Procedure Development
Problem Based Learning
Project/Case Study
Role-play

top
