3.3 Learning Design Facilitator (LDF)

What is Learning Design Facilitator (LDF)?

To help you create your learning design, the IDEALS team has developed the Learning Design Facilitator (LDF), which includes different agents to answer your questions, provide suggestions, and support you throughout the entire learning design process. Currently, we have both the AI Facilitator and the LDS Assistant available.

When creating a learning design in the LDS, you will work through multiple phases: course level, curriculum component level, and task level. The LDS Assistant provides instructions and tips tailored to your current phase and acts as an interface for accessing the LDS Pattern Library, which offers well-defined templates for you to use in each phase.

 

* Further details about the LDS Pattern Library will be introduced in the next section.
