Discussion

Discuss some of the factors which may complicate the learning design process. Identify and discuss factors which relate to the learners (such as different learning styles or needs) as well as logistical issues (such as teaching on-campus versus online). How can we draw from the provocative calls-to-action made by Sir Ken Robinson in this week's TED video, Ken Robinson: Bring on the Learning Revolution! (http://www.ted.com/talks/lang/eng/sir_ken_robinson_bring_on_the_revolution.html) to better meet the needs of exceptional learners or specific student groups? Explore these and provide thoughtful reasoning to justify your explanations.
