Teachers as learning designers emphasizes that teachers have a significant role in designing and creating effective learning experiences and learning environment for their students. It goes beyond the traditional view of teachers as mere deliverers of content and positions them as architects who shape the learning environment and design instructional activities. In this perspective, teachers are seen as active designers who carefully plan and organize the learning experiences of their students. They consider factors such as the learning goals, students' needs and interests, instructional strategies, and assessment methods. Teachers as learning designers seek to create engaging and meaningful learning experiences that promote deep understanding, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills. One key aspect of teachers as learning designers is the integration of pedagogy and technology.
They leverage technology tools and resources to enhance teaching and learning. This includes using educational software, multimedia resources, online platforms, and collaborative tools to create interactive and engaging learning experiences. Teachers also need to understand how to effectively integrate technology into their instructional design to support and facilitate student learning. Teachers as learning designers are not limited to traditional classroom settings. They can also design learning experiences for online and blended learning environments. In these contexts, teachers need to consider how to effectively utilize digital resources, online collaboration tools, and learning management systems to design engaging and interactive online learning experiences. By adopting the mindset of teachers as learning designers, educators can empower themselves to actively shape the learning experiences of their students. They can design learning activities that promote student engagement, foster critical thinking, and encourage collaboration and creativity. This approach recognizes the important role that teachers play in creating meaningful and impactful learning experiences for their students (Laurillard, 2012; OECD, 2018; Laurillard et.al., 2018).
