One of the major criticisms of learning design (LD) is that it is static; the learner is limited to following the processes created by the designer. But in certain circumstances - a real employment environment, for example, where there is an expectation of process improvement - this is insufficient. There is a need to a 'double loop' model - one where learners do not only engage in repeated practice and performance improvement, but also one where learners reflect on those practices and - dynamically - improve the learning (and work) process itself. This paper describes an architecture that resolves the double loop requirement through the development of 'atomic actions', "small pieces of workflow that can be 'stitched' together at will, while retaining the changeability of the so constructed process." This is a model of learning that I think is successful and it is good to see a mechanism where students design their own learning. PDF. Via Dave Boggs.
