21st Century Learning Design

The 21CLD curriculum provides online courses to help teachers develop 21st century skills in their students. It is based on research that identified six important 21st century skills: collaboration, communication, knowledge construction, self-regulation, problem-solving and innovation, and use of technology. The 8 online courses cover these skills and teach teachers how to redesign learning activities using assessment rubrics. Throughout the courses, teachers can share redesigned lessons and discuss challenges with other educators. The goal is to better prepare students for today's global, knowledge-based world.

21st Century Learning Design 


Introduction 
Students around the world need advanced skills to succeed in the globalised, knowledge-based world of today. 21st Century
Learning Design, or 21CLD, professional development helps teachers redesign their existing lessons and learning activities to build
students’ 21st century skills. Transforming education by focusing on 21st century skills  is one of Microsoft’s focus areas, and
providing workshops for teachers on the 21CLD curriculum has been successful. However, in order to give many more teachers the
opportunity to engage in this training, we have created this 21CLD series of online courses. 
 
 
21CLD online 
The 21CLD curriculum - developed to enhance 21st century skills in student learning - builds on the 21CLD research methodology,
providing a collaborative, practice-based process that helps educators transform how they design enriching learning activities for
their students. The 8 courses provide approximately 20 hours of online tutorials, video, readings, educator-discussion and self-
assessment. Educators have the opportunity to actively engage with classroom evidence of 21CLD in action in classrooms across
the globe. 
 
The 21CLD curriculum is based on rubrics, which have been developed and tested internationally for the Innovative Teaching and
Learning (ITL) Research project. These rubrics help educators identify and understand the opportunities that learning activities give
students to build 21st century skills.   A learning activity is any task that students do as part of their school-related work. It can be
an exercise that students complete in one class period or an extended project that takes place both in and outside of school. The
21CLD rubrics incorporate a research-based methodology for coding learning activities to ensure you are embedding 21st century
skills in your teaching practices.  
 
The 21CLD curriculum describes six rubrics of 21st century learning, each of which represents an important skill for students to
develop. These are: 
1. Collaboration 
2. Skilled communication 
3. Knowledge construction 
4. Self-regulation 
5. Real-world problem-solving and innovation 
6. Use of ICT for learning 
 
21CLD elements 
The core elements of the 21CLD curriculum include: 
• A focus on redesigning learning to develop 21st century skills and deepen understanding of 21CLD curricular goals. 
• Facilitating educators to use new learning designs within their own teaching and to analyse the impact on student learning. 
• Sharing new learning activities with other educators locally and globally. 
• An opportunity for educators to discuss and support each other as they tease out the 21CLD skills. 
 

21CLD course structure 


The 21CLD curriculum consists of the following 8 online courses: 
• The 21CLD introductory course explains the background to the 21st century skills and provides the research at the foundation
of the overall 21CLD curriculum. 
• In the next 6 courses, each of the 21st century skills is introduced. The 21CLD rubric is used to analyse learning unit examples. 
• The final course brings together all of the 21st century learning design elements and leads educators to reflect on how the
21CLD approach can influence their own classroom practice and their students' learning. 
• Throughout the curriculum, educators are encouraged to share new and redesigned learning activities. 
 
21CLD OneNote 
This OneNote provides all of the resources and reading materials to accompany the 21CLD courses.  Under each tab, you will find
the 21CLD rubrics, decision trees and anchor lessons used throughout the online course.  Feel free to add your own notes to the
OneNote pages as you progress through the 21CLD courses.
