Simple Learning Design 2.0 (SLD 2.0) is a learning design specification proposed by Durand and Downes from the National Research Council of Canada in 2009.Durand, G., Downes, S.: Toward Simple Learning Design 2.0. In: 4th Int. Conf. on Computer Science & Education 2009, Nanning, China, pp. 894-897, 2009. It was intended as an interoperability specification, simpler to implement than IMS Learning Design, a specification as of 2010 restricted only to pilot and research projects. IMS Learning Design is a specification for describing methods of learning design, in a way that claims to be pedagogically neutral. Simple Learning Design 2.0 was designed to be implemented by developers in a commercial e-learning application, and was intended to be paired with a more complex specification, described as "a real UML for learning design." The intent behind SLD 2.0 was to propose a specification with a good balance between its expressivity and the simplicity of its implementation.Durand G., Belliveau L., Craig B., "Simple Learning Design 2.0, icalt, pp.549-551, 2010 10th IEEE International Conference on Advanced Learning Technologies, 2010.
