Write a reflective blog on on the 7Cs of Learning Design, what are the key features and perceived benefits of the approach. 

The 7c learning design concept helps educators plan a scheme of work with a clear concept in mind.  The planning process becomes much more about the process rather than the product.  The conceptual tools are particularly effective when planning how to use technology to socialize the learning process and create a truly student orientated learning experience.  Story boarding is very useful as it creates a visual overview of the learning process.  Traditional written schemes of work tend to focus on just learning outcomes on a lesson by lesson basis.  As well as showing the range of pedagogical methods used in the unit of work the storyboard also provides a map of how learning technologies are used to support the process of learning and its socialisation.  

I have found storyboarding a the 7c design cycle very useful when planning a unit of work on the management on voluntary international migration where students are asked to critically evaluate information and challenge their own preconceptions.
