The IMS Learning Design specification offers great potential to enhance the teaching and learning experience across many education sectors in Canada. The Repository to Reality (R2R) project is investigating the practical application of Learning Design in a post-secondary environment. The focus of this project is on the pedagogical implications and applications as well as the reality of implementing the specification. Having a structured language that is understandable by educators will further the cause of all learning technologies and help increase the adoption of learning objects into the classroom.
R2R Learning design is an Industry Canada sponsored project to investigate the possible application of the IMS Learning Design specification in a Post-Secondary environment. The Teaching & Learning Centre at the University of Calgary is the lead organization working with the University of Waterloo, Teleuniversite Universite du Quebec and University of Alberta.
