Recipe cards: cooking up better student spaces.

University of Chester have created a recipe book to help make learning design digestible and easy to follow. The book contains a series of recipe cards intended to make learning design more accessible and embed key digital skills and essential skills, capabilities and competencies our future educators and students will need. They give staff evidence based, activity rich ideas that they can implement easily with their students ensuring we are incorporating good learning design into the process. These recipes are based on research into what works to help students learn in a blended or online learning environment using the conversational framework and the 6 learning activities to create a rich, activity-based learning environment for your students. The recipes are designed to be easy to follow and create great learning design that can be adapted to suit your own ‘taste’ as an educator. Academic staff are encouraged to submit their own recipe cards to help build a collaborative community of educators supporting our student experience.
