This section of the Guide helps you think through some of the issues in materials development or learning experience development. The key design issues are linked to the same five main questions we have already considered. A range of examples and supporting resources illustrate how educators are attempting to answer the key design questions to create stimulating and supportive learning experiences. Remember that your Course Design (section 2 of this Guide) has an impact of the development of your materials, and you will have to see and map how the materials fit within the bigger picture.
