The Learning Design Guide by NagaEd offers a strategic blueprint for creating effective, learner-centered digital courseware. Designed to align with NEP 2020, this guide supports educators, designers, and institutions in delivering engaging, inclusive, and measurable learning experiences — especially for underserved learners across India’s frontier regions.
Grounded in Local Needs: The design framework focuses on India’s government school learners, especially in tribal and rural contexts.
NEP 2020-Aligned Course Design: Emphasizes skill-building, multidisciplinary approaches, and active learning — core principles of NEP 2020.
Six-Part Design Framework: Guides course development from curriculum mapping to learner motivation, delivery, and assessment.
Inclusive & Accessible Learning: Prioritizes equity through multilingual content, offline access, and visual supports for learners with limited digital exposure.
Project-Based, Active Learning: Every module connects to real-world applications using simulations, fieldwork, and hands-on tasks.
Built-In Monitoring & Feedback Loops: Encourages ongoing refinement through pilot testing, student feedback, and analytics.
Learning Outcomes
Define SMART goals linked to grade-level curriculum standards and NEP’s 21st-century skills (e.g. creativity, critical thinking, collaboration).
Prior Knowledge
Design prerequisite modules to activate earlier learning. Include diagnostics or pre-assessments to bridge foundational gaps before grade-level instruction.
Courseware Design
Structure lessons as short, modular blocks with:
Storytelling-based videos
Interactive activities (quizzes, games, simulations)
Practice tools and summary worksheets
Engagement & Motivation
Incorporate rewards (badges, levels), storytelling, gamified features, and learner autonomy to build interest and ownership.
Delivery Strategy
Support both online and offline access via:
LMS platforms (e.g. Digital Class)
Printed worksheets
Facilitator guides for tech-light environments
Assessment
Use pre-, during-, and post-module assessments. Incorporate ungraded quizzes, exit tickets, and cumulative reflections to monitor growth.
Use the 6-part framework to design or review every module
Pilot test content and adjust based on learner performance
Prioritise inclusivity, multilingual access, and real-world relevance
Leverage LMS analytics to track usage and success
Build feedback loops from students and teachers into every content iteration
