Growing interest in learning through and at the work place Learner support via traditional/online means to encourage reflective practice Engagement, motivate and promote reflective and independent learning The project will, through the research and development of good practice, deliver a design system for online and distance support. The outcomes will be guides, case studies and toolkit to enable educators to effectively prepare adult learners for work based and work placed learning.  The CoED Design Card Generator Tools Technology Co-development Education Design Methods Workplace learning
