Introduction to the Special Section on Design Failure In Learning Design Practice

Abstract

The International Journal of Designs for Learning (IJDL) is pleased to publish this Special Section on Design Failure in Learning Design in diverse contexts. This Special Section includes seven design cases; six of them highlight diverse stories of failed learning design projects, and one design case highlights the use of failure-based learning strategies/techniques to engage learners in productive failure (i.e., learning with/through failure).
