Abstract
The IMS Learning Design specification has been used as the basis for the design and development of a set of tools for eLearning. The use cases for this work were based on practice in large scale distance education. This chapter reported on implementation and evaluation of one of the first practical initiatives to adapt this methodology for a mixed presential and online environment. It identified substantial issues of usability of the available toolset and human resources required to make use of it which have informed current research work in JISC projects such as DesignShare and the European Framework 6 TENCompetence Integrated Research project.
