Learning Design

Like learning designs and approaches much is written about team-based approaches (Fenn, .n.d. Rahman, 2006; Sims & Jones, 2002) for designing courses and while a level of this seems to occur at WelTec it is not accepted practice, resulting in a feeling of diminished ownership by tutors and non-integrated programme development.

“(the model uses a)…..a team-based approach to the development process that encompasses regular and frequent communications and a commitment to maintaining a shared understanding of the development outcomes” (Sims & Jones, 2002).

The UDL process is essentially a team based approach where at each design step learning support and other experts address the needs of all learners.
