ABC learning design The ABC curriculum design method is an effective and engaging hands-on, card-based approach to curriculum design. student centered rapid curriculum development engaging academics in informed dialogue about the learning design or a review of programmes and modules addresses need to develop richer learning designs for blended learning allows inclusion of elements of the Connected Curriculum it is built on curriculum design research from the JISC* (Viewpoints) and work of Prof Diana Laurillard, UCL IoE ** (learning types) and adapted for UCL * Viewpoints project (2008-2013), **Laurillard, D. (2012). Teaching as a Design Science: Building Pedagogical Patterns for Learning and Technology. New York and London: Routledge.

ABC and the Futurelearn platform An adaptation of ABC for the FuturLearn platform Online-only learning Restricted toolset Student numbers Futurelearn pedagogy Telling stories Provoking conversation Celebrating progress Mention flipping

Provoking Conversation Futurelearn pedagogy Telling stories Storytelling provides a unifying framework around which we build and think about courses. It invites thought such as “what is the story here?” and “how does this one artifact further the story?”. Provoking Conversation Conversational learning is at the core of FutureLearn’s belief about how people come together and learn. As such, it is vitally important that it is orchestrated and modelled through the course. Celebrating progress “Step completion” and quizzes and tests with meaningful, formative feedback https://partners.futurelearn.com/course-creation/pedagogy-and-learning-design/

Futurelearn learning design Learning design guidelines 1. Work with the FutureLearn platform 2. Know your learners 3. Start from a learning objective or big question 4. Every step should contribute to learning 5. Every step should be essential 6. Design a balanced mix of learning activities 7. Design for storytelling 8. Design for conversation 9. Design to celebrate progress 10. https://partners.futurelearn.com/course-creation/pedagogy-and-learning-design/what-is-a-good-futurelearn-opening-week/
