| The LN4LD project has set up a pilot learning network for a heterogeneous group of learners interested in finding, applying and exchanging information about the IMS Learning Design specification (IMS LD). In the context of this pilot, LN4LD has also examined measures designed to stimulate active participation in the learning network. The project has three goals. First, by implementing a learning network it will yield early insights into issues surrounding their creation and maintenance, thereby helping the development programme to better understand the implications of the move towards self organisation in education. Second, through its focus on the IMS Learning Design specification, the learning network will meet the current strong demand for the dissemination of introductory information, best practices and lessons learned in this area. Finally, by explicitly incorporating the investigation of a technology development question (measures to stimulate active participation), the activity will contribute to the publication output of the development programme. |
