This paper describes an activity being undertaken by researchers involved in the AUTC funded Project: Information and Communication Technologies and Their Role in Flexible Learning. The project is seeking to investigate and develop generic and reusable frameworks for the provision of technology-enhanced high quality learning experiences in higher education. To achieve this, the researchers have been exploring ways to formalise generic descriptions of some learning designs that foster knowledge construction and problem solving. This paper provides a summary of the work that has been undertaken and describes the generic descriptions that have been developed in this process.

With the aim to facilitate sharing and uptake of high quality ICT-based learning designs amongst academics in higher education, the Australian Universities Teaching Committee funded project: Information and Communication Technologies (lCTs) and Their Role in Flexible Learning examined a number of existing high quality, ICT-based learning implementations to determine if the learning designs employed can be re-disseminated in the form of reusable guidelines, templates, and/or software tools. An evaluation instrument was developed to analyse the degree to which the learning designs have potential to foster high quality learning. This paper focuses on this instrument by describing how it was derived, …
