I've a bee in my bonnet (UK phrase...) about what design for learning is at the moment. I wonder if "design" is going to become a current management buzz word. Maybe - see http://www.wbsi.org/farson/com_mgtbydesignr.htm.

I like the definitions of design mentioned in the article. They include:

"Flow of events to produce a desired effect"

"Design moves things from an existing condition to a preferred one"

"Design is the creation of form"

Then I'll add this phrase from this paper by Janis Norman:

"Design thinking is an inventive process, through which problems are identified, solutions proposed and produced, and the results evaluated". I'm not confident that many designers of learning experiences think in terms of solving problems, but rather in terms of delivering content or knowledge (the last of which, as we know, isn't possible).
