ASSIS, Maria Paulina de  and  ALMEIDA, Maria Elizabeth Bianconcini de. Learning design and technologies: creating collaborative environments for the learning process. Psicol. educ. [online]. 2017, n.44, pp.47-56. ISSN 1414-6975.  https://doi.org/10.5935/2175-3520.20170005.

This paper proposes a study for the creation of collaborative digital learning environments to enable learning methods, strategies and resources, with the aim of bringing about innovation, within a concept of learning design. The term "learning design" can be used for the process of creating a product or for the product itself. It consists of a group of learning and teaching activities, from planning to evaluation.This paper presents a study carried out in the U.K., in which a learning design tool was analyzed. The objective of the study was to find out whether higher education teachers would be interested in using this kind of tool to support the learning design process. The research also conducted an investigation into the kinds of procedures teachers employed in their planning and sharing of pedagogical practices and to determine whether they used ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) to assist them in these activities. The tool analyzed was the LDSE (Learning Design Support Environment). The findings show that participants do use ICT in their pedagogical practices. However, there is hardly any planning documentation for pedagogical practices, which might mean that, although many higher education teachers welcome initiatives that allow the use of these tools, their employment in the area of learning design is very limited.

Keywords : learning design; information technology; communication technology; pedagogical practices; sharing.
