Figure 3: Excerpt from a module learning design
Subject conveners appeared to find the layout of the module design section easy to use, and were
encouraged to provide quality contextual statements and guiding questions for students, in a format
ready to enter directly into the LMS (see Figure 3 for a short excerpt from a module learning design,
demonstrating the detail provided for a single activity). Some even used the Teaching Activities
column to add notes for tutors and facilitators, which could be added to the LMS (hidden from student
view) to assist the teaching team (Figure 3).
Due to the short timelines of the subject development process involving multiple subjects at different
stages of development, no formal evaluation of the template design could be implemented. However,
observations from colleagues attest to the improved focus on student learning:
