3. Aims Uncover design principles based on 2 complex case studies raise issues about possible approaches to scaling up these techno-pedagogical designs

4. Aims Provide the workshop with exemplar ‘designs for learning’ (the two cases) for design discourse see if the learning design tools and software available in the workshop can implement all or perhaps aspects of these complex design-based research driven cases/scenarios that I present in position paper Can Learning Design Hack it?

5. Design research was introduced in CONTSENS with the expectation that participants would

8. “it was triggering my own thoughts and I was getting to think for myself about the area and the buildings.”

9. “they can be engaged in more productive pedagogical approaches, such as small group work and investigative problem-based learning” Tutor

10. Ravenscroft, Schmit Cook & Bradley, in press, JCAL MATURE - Continuous Social Learning in Knowledge Networks

11. People tagging MATURE has systematically considered aspects in the requirements engineering process of informal task-conscious learning support

12. Conclusion Systematic adjustment of content and scripts in CONTSENS Customising tools to meet cultural factors methodology deployed successfully by FZI Needs extending when we attempt to design for the large-scale use of TEL that is embedded in, or that perhaps embeds, sustainable communities and networks of practice

13. Learning design tools and software available in the workshop can implement all or perhaps aspects of my cases/scenarios? I look forward to debate surrounding the critical question posed in this paper’s title: Can Learning Design Hack it?
