A Review of Learning Design: Concept, Specifications and Tools

"The principle aim of this report is to review and evaluate currently available software tools related to learning design. Whilst the IMS Learning Design Specification (IMS-LD), which we will consider in some detail here, provides a very thorough framework for evaluating the capabilities of software tools within the learning design space, it is also possible to argue that it presents only one of many possible realisations of the concept of learning design and that there are other possible ways to model the concept of learning design that do not implement IMS-LD."
