Learning Design for a 21st Century Curriculum

This book contains a collection of some of the resources that were presented and created during the  Open Learning Design Studio MOOC “Learning Design for a 21st Century Curriculum” which ran from the 13nth January to the 10nth March 2013. 

The information in this MOOC is freely available at the link provided. However, with approximately 1000 participants commenting on and sharing their own content, it can become confusing quickly. The purpose of this book is to collate all those very useful resources into one easily searchable package. You can view the resources without having to read through all the posts and additional explanatory instructions that were provided during the MOOC. Because this information has already been filtered and curated by experts, it should save you plenty of time. 

We are grateful to the creators of the OLDS MOOC for publishing their work under a Creative Commons License which allows us to do this. Whether you have just heard about the OLDS MOOC from an online forum and lament the fact that you missed out, or whether you are one of the participants who dropped out before the end, we hope that you will find this book useful. As educational designers ourselves, we have come to realise the benefit of BOOTWOO (Building on the work of others). 

If you have enjoyed using this resource, but still don’t have the time to do it yourself, take a look at our website: http://www.naturalelearning.co.nz to find out more about our 99 and ¾ % guaranteed response to your design needs.
