My goal was to reboot my own learning skills, particularly in the age of digital learning and AI. Happy I achieved this. I also wanted to better support and advocate for good learning design across the TAFE and VET Sector. [I] definitely feel more confident to have rich conversations with peers and colleagues.
This microcredential commences with an exploration and discussion of learning and the vital role of learning designers. You’ll delve into learning theories and sciences, examining their implications to historical, contemporary and emerging learning design practices. Each theory is introduced and its differing variations explained, with a significant focus on how they’ve informed the development of practical learning designs. Special attention is given to how these concepts relate to technology-enhanced learning, and what that means for the learning designer in a practical sense. You’ll analyse the different theories in a learning design context and critique the effect that technology has had upon the development of learning theories.
This microcredential has been designed to equip you with:

This microcredential is structured into six modules, delivered over six weeks. Each module features self-study materials, interactive activities such as quizzes, multimedia presentations, short video and audio recordings and peer critiques, as well as facilitated, live online sessions. These weekly, optional live online sessions provide an opportunity to apply the content to practical and authentic examples drawn from the workplace, with the course culminating in an industry led expression session.
The six modules are:
Delve deep into a discussion about what learning design is, and isn’t, and where it fits into the history of thinking, learning, technology and education and training.
Examine some of the key theories that are part of behaviourism and the applications to learning design.
Discover how cognitivism influenced the design of learning. Study the key concepts related to cognitivist learning theories and critique these theories and their applications.
Begin with an exploration of the influence of socio-cultural perspectives on learning. Then take a deep dive into social learning theories, including social cognitivism and constructivism.
Explore what connectivism is, and what its implications are for learning design.
Engage in a practical workshop hosted by an industry expert that combines the ideas, concepts and tools developed throughout the course and puts them into practice.
Upon successful completion of this microcredential, you should be able to:
Assessment task 1: Learning scenario analysis (weight: 60%)
Assessment task 2: Critique of theoretical approach (weight: 40%)
