2. 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

4. 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

5. 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.

6. Futurelearn types of activity
Delivered are presented with information
Collaborative construct shared understanding
Conversational converse with others
Networked interact with networks of peers
Reflective reflect on activities Discussion to review previous steps
Browsing seek and collate information
Inquiry-driven investigate authentic situations
Problem-solving try to solve problems or answer big questions
Case-based investigate individual cases
Simulation interact with a simulated world
Cross-context learn across physical or social settings
Game-based engage with game environments
Performative present for an audience
Construction design and make artefacts
Reflective reflect on activities Discussion to review previous ste
Assessing learn by receiving constructive feedback (Peer review step)
