The document discusses learning design and the Learning Activity Management System (LAMS). It defines learning design as focusing on sequencing learning activities and social engagement rather than just content transmission. LAMS aims to implement learning design principles in a usable way. While still evolving, learning design emphasizes coordinating learners through structured activities over time to achieve learning outcomes.

37. The fluctuations of structure produced by a learning sequence creates an environment of constant challenge to the individual. The choice for the learner is always whether to adapt and survive within the learning environment, or to reject their commitment to their learning. This decision is made in the context of other communities of practice the learner belongs to.

38. The effectiveness of the strategy of a learning sequence is to create environmental challenge in such a way that learners choose to adapt rather than reject their learning commitment.
