This design case includes the inspiration behind the course design (“Applied Learning Design”) and the problems addressed with the design case, a design philosophy, and a detailed description of the case, including context, participants’ profiles, and key design decisions. An analysis of the initial ideas, design team projects grounded on real-world educational problems, course content and evaluation, the impact of design decisions, and difficulties encountered during the design case’s enactment completes the examination of the design effort and outcomes.
