Our goal in this article is to set out some important elements of a useful theory of design for learning . We aim to help understand what it means to design something, or some assemblage of things, to help other people learn. In offering what we believe to be a useful framework for thinking about design for learning, we address a number of key issues, including: how it is that something designed by one person can help other people learn; what kinds of things can be designed; how these things might also need to support the work of people (like teachers) whose job it is to support other peoples’ learning; how learning usually has multiple layers and multiple goals – each of which may place different requirements on design – and how people who are learning can also be expected to modify that which has been designed. Keywords: design for learning; indirection; sustainable design (Published: 16 September 2013) Citation: Research in Learning Technology Supplement 2013, 21 : 19909 - http://dx.doi.org/10.3402/rlt.v21i0.19909
