OLTC20001 - Design for Learning

General Information

Unit Synopsis

In Design for Learning, you will study learning design principles and processes within the context of tertiary and adult education. You will have the opportunity to critically analyse and reflect on evidence and/or experiences of a previous unit offering to inform ongoing curriculum improvements. On successful completion, you will have prepared a range of learning design artefacts that underpin a new, or redesigned unit of study. These artefacts will adhere to workplace quality and/or accreditation requirements and ultimately inform a unit profile and a Learning Management System presence. You may prepare these artefacts for a unit of your choosing.

International students, on a student visa, must maintain a full time study load and meet both attendance and academic progress requirements in each study period (satisfactory attendance for International students is defined as maintaining at least an 80% attendance record).

Source: Student
Feedback
Readings are better placed in each week, not a list at the end.
Recommendation
Readings are embedded into the content for contextual reading. The list is a further way of achieving access. I will more clearly articulate how to best access readings.
Action Taken
Readings are embedded in each week and therefore easy to access.
Source: Lecturer
Feedback
Continue to add contemporary literature to support the design process through the assessment tasks.
Recommendation
Refine supporting literature.
