OULDI - Course Map. Level: Macro The Course (or Module) Map representation gives an ‘at a glance’ view of the course or module across four dimensions. It enables a brief textual overview of the course activities in terms of the types of learning experience the learner will have, how they will communicate and collaborate with tutor and peers, as well as the guidance and support provided and the nature of any assessment.

OULDI-Information Literacy facilitation cards. Update: The existing Information Literacies Facilitation Cards have just been upgraded to include a greater number of core Digital Literacies. A pdf of the new card sets can be downloaded from here: DIG_LIT_CARDS_v36.pdf Embedding Information Literacy: Information literacy is a key component in the development of the student as an independent learner.

The OU Learning Design Initiative (OULDI) started with institutional strategic funding in 2007 and has been funded by JISC under the Curriculum Design programme since September 2008.

We have been working across several OU faculties and with 4 other universities to pilot curriculum design activities and relevant supporting tools and to contribute to the broader academic work in the subject. We have produced a range of tools which include: Additional outputs include: Our is underpinned by an ongoing programme of empirical work, aimed at getting a richer understanding of educational design processes.
