Research in Learning Design (LD) aims to enable teachers to design and share pedagogically informed teaching ideas that make effective use of technology to enhance learning. LD is a widely researched field with numerous LD tools and LD approaches. However, despite its richness, there are several challenges to be addressed, including the low adoption of LD software tools. In this talk we present an attempt to fill the gap through sociomaterial analysis of the LD context in HE. We introduce a sociomaterial design framework and design principles for LD software that have been developed through iterative phases of Design-Based Research. We argue that such an approach could strengthen further research in LD. Together with previous research that explored LD can help building a richer interpretation of the Learning Design Practice (LD-P), providing additional insights and revealing misrepresentations of LD-P, and help correcting any misalignments of HE lecturers’ LD-P with LD approaches and LD software tools.
