The creative learning designer's defence kit Introduction: why "defence kit"? This site is all about legitimising creativity and design thinking in the practice of learning design. One of its basic assumptions is that creativity is not highly valued in learning design processes, or in learning designers. There are increasing pressures on learning designers to prioritise efficiency and cost, rather than effectiveness and benefit. hand.jpg But the design of learning experiences is an extraordinarily creative process. Indeed, it presents an array of design challenges that many other design disciplines do not face. This brief "kit" is intended as a starting point for learning designers who feel that they need to be more creative. Of course, you can't learn how to change your working practice, your organisation or yourself from a few pages of text. (You knew that already). But hopefully it will gain your interest, and give you some signposts about where to go next, either on this site or elsewhere.
