IMS Learning Design (LD) is an open specification, released in 2003, to support the interoperability of advanced pedagogical designs in e-learning courses and other “units of learning . The specification supports three levels: level A is the basic level, level B adds “properties, global elements, monitor services and conditions and level C adds “notifications . Current tools for LD support level A of the specification. Some new tools are exploring the incorporation of level B, but there is still a lot of unexplored territory in this area. Also the documentation that is available today explains in detail the technical differences between level A and B, but not functionally. This tutorial paper introduces the possibilities of using IMS LD level B to develop digital courses that support collaborative learning, adaptive learning and personalisation, conditional text, runtime tracking, new forms of assessment, and the modelling of ePortfolio’s.
