Oliver, Ron, et al. "Representing authentic learning designs supporting the development of online communities of learners." (2007): 1.

This paper delves into the realm of authentic learning designs, emphasizing their effectiveness in creating meaningful learning contexts that foster higher-order learning and provide robust support mechanisms for students. It highlights the critical role of establishing a sense of community among learners, which significantly enhances learning outcomes. The study showcases several technology-facilitated authentic learning designs, detailing their components, strategies for community development, and the support structures integral to these learning environments. By presenting these designs in various forms, the paper aims to offer insights into the diverse elements of authentic learning settings and the associated teaching strategies. Furthermore, it stresses the importance of further research, particularly in design-based research, to develop standardized forms of learning design representations. Such standardization would facilitate the discovery and reuse of effective learning designs, contributing to the broader educational landscape.
