Foundations of Learning Experience Design 

Foundations of Learning Design is an introductory course on the basics of learning design in which the learner will develop current core design concepts and practices in course design. It is a pre-requisite of the [Advanced Learning Design] course. This course provides an orientation to learning design for face-to-face (FTF), blended and online environments as both art and science. Design has the capacity to support or detract from learning and therefore the design process itself needs to be intentional and evidence-driven. This course involves participants in an exploration, evaluation, and critique of contemporary practices of learning design, and provides participants with opportunities to experiment with putting learning principles and high impact practices into action within a range of learning scenarios. Participants produce a course blueprint and build out a simple course shell in an in-demand Learning Management System.
