Abstract

This paper summarises the work being conducted in an ongoing research agenda focused
on exploring how the learning design construct can be used to support university
educators to create both pedagogically sound and interoperable e-learning experiences. The
premise of this work is that a learning design can be used to support the pedagogical design
process and the integration of international e-learning standards, such as learning object
metadata and IMS-LD, enabling resources and tools to be technically interoperable across
different standards-compliant systems. The paper presents the rationale guiding this
research focus, describes the features of the research that is underway, and outlines future
directions of this research.
