What does social justice in learning design look like?
Learning through Covid-19: Social Justice and the digital divide | 15 July What does social justice in learning design look like? Introduction I’ve had a bit of a history with social justice education – it’s often mentioned in the same discussions as civics and citizenship education, human rights education and a few other areas in…
All assessment, all the time (part two)
In the previous post about this topic, I discussed the challenges of assessing online discussion posts as a proxy for learning and also a proxy for physical real conversations. In this blog, I wanted to advance a few ideas about how this might be changed – and what that change might look like in terms…
All assessment, all the time (part one)
I’ve had the privilege of speaking with a few well respected academic about learning design and education more generally over the course of the last couple of weeks as we work towards putting together a grant proposal. Quite naturally, our discussions about the grant have wandered off into interesting areas relating to education and especially…
Some reflections on Universal Design for Learning by Meyer, Rose and Gordon (2014).

Some of this will have an influence on Predict: Current and future trends in e-learning in, which is one of the subjects in the new Graduate Certificate in Learning Design. In some ways, I’m sad that I can only focus…
Teachmeets and Learning Design
I’ve been looking at Teachmeets as a bit of a research interest for a couple of weeks now. I think it’s a really quite interesting space, and part of that interest comes from, I think, the different – and perhaps conflicting ways – that teachers are using movements like Teachmeets. Equally, I’m not entirely certain…
Some thoughts regarding designing a curriculum for learning designers
I think this is a theme that I’ve addressed before, but I think it’s worth revisiting it regularly, as my thinking regarding the development of a learning design curriculum changes. I’m also thinking that it might be worth writing up some of these thoughts in a more formal sense as I continue, as I’m sure…
I’ve been info-graphed!
Onder Sit, an educator from overseas, reach out to me to tell me that he had made some comments from me into an infographic. He did a pretty good job, so I thought I would share it here, too.
