Reframing Learning Design
Typical unit planning/revision process?
Approach it as a designer
Empathize Define Ideate Prototype Test
What is a culture of design?- Collaboration- Empathy for end users (students)- Mindset of exploration & creativity- Common language and process
Design starts with understanding the end user
What prior knowledge and experience do your students come to the course with?
What do they typically enjoy about this course? Or, if it is a new course, what do you anticipate them enjoying?
What do they typically struggle with in the course? Or, if it is a new course, what do you anticipate them struggling with?

We need clarity on exactly what we are designing
2 defineOne key course topic/concept or skill:
Students have few prior experienceswith the topic
Students have significant prior experienceswith the topic
Students should develop a basic understanding of the topic or skill
Students should develop a deepunderstanding of the topic or skill
I can allot one hour for thisinstruction
I can allot multiple sessions for thisinstruction
Students will work in awhole group
Students will workindividually
Students will workin small groups

Welcome to the Learning Activity Types (LATs) Website!
This is a virtual place for teachers and teacher educators who are learning how to develop andoperationalize TPACK (Technology, Pedagogy, and Content Knowledge) via use of curriculum-based learning activity types ("LATs") in instructional planning. The most recent versions of ouropen-access LATs taxonomies, assessment tools, and professional learning materials, plus linksto many of our LATs publications and presentations, are available here.
The curricula and teaching strategies for which we have developed learning activity typestaxonomies appear in the menu on the left. Please use these links to view both interactive anddownloadable (.pdf) versions of the taxonomies and related resources.
Not sure what LATs are or how they are used to help teachers to develop their TPACK? Pleasebegin by reading one or both of the articles that are linked near the top of the left-hand menuand/or take the short course that's also linked there.
Thanks for visiting, and please bookmark this site so that you can return as this collection ofopen-content, open-access resources continues to grow.

Using the possible learning activity types you identify in step 3, choose from among them to create a sequence of learning activities to help students to master the content topic or skill you identified in step 2.
Now, how might you ”level up” these learning activities? You might substitute a learning activity type with another option to leverage UDL principles, integrate technology or support students in developing their skills with the 5 C’s (communication, collaboration, critical thinking, creative thinking, or citizenship
4 prototype
Implement, learn, and reflect (together)

What will you look for? Consider ”uncommon measures”
How will you capture it?In the moment and after
How will your share?Collaborate with colleagues
Iterate like a designer
