JISC is pleased to announce the launch of Designing learning and assessment in a digital age, a new online guide to technology-enhanced curriculum design for higher education, FE and skills.

This comprehensive guide brings together in one resource the most significant outputs from a decade of research and development around technology-enhanced curriculum and learning design and the most up-to-date exemplars of good practice in designing learning and assessment in a digital context.

Learning design is a considered, creative process that occurs within a wider eco-system of people, processes, systems and places. As the elements in the eco-system change, and the technologies available to us increase, it becomes ever more important to keep up to date.

Taking an appreciative inquiry approach as its starting point, you will find Designing learning and assessment in a digital age incorporates short accessible guidance to keep you informed and a wealth of ideas, expert viewpoints and resources to help you make faster progress towards your digital learning goals. This guidance is supported by case studies, audio and video resources plus links to further information about the services JISC offer to institutions across the sector.

JISC are running a workshop on the 20^th March, focusing on data-informed blended learning design and more information is available from

The format of the forum will build upon the previous TEL Forum and user group - with the first hour dedicated to dissemination of projects and work taking place across 糖心TV. There will then be an opportuntity to explore topics/projects in more detail and develop projects/ideas etc. You would be welcome to come along to all/any part of the forum.
