One of the ongoing challenges in the field of Learning Design is how to most effectively support educators in the development of innovative e-learning through the adoption and adaptation of learning design templates. This paper reflects on experiences from two recent higher education projects in teacher training and medical education, and considers the advantages and disadvantages of templates as compared to learning designs with embedded discipline content.
