Integrating Learning Design Patterns with Intentional Technology

Teaching can be considered both an art and science. It's a design science in which principles and heuristics of practice inform and inspire the creation of teaching. The art is knowing how to create a powerful experience for all learners in our blended and online courses. You will explore six learning design patterns (Laurillard, 2012) and how you could design online learning experiences using intentional technology.
