This paper motivates and describes a workshop proposal for TEEM'14. The proposed workshop is aimed at participants interested in having a first contact with "learning design practices" for teaching planning. Such practices advocate the use of reflection, conceptualization and authoring scaffolds (that also include purpose-specific ICT tools) for making explicit the goals, the activities and the resources of pedagogical plans (also called "learning designs"). Making learning designs explicit facilitates their sharing, reuse and co-creation, as well as their interpretation by systems capable of setting up the enacting runtime in a technology-enhanced learning context (composed by, e.g., Virtual Learning Environments or VLEs, web 2.0 learning tools, etc.). The workshop introduces the concept and practices of learning design, illustrating them by means of hands-on activities with the Integrated Learning Design Environment (ILDE). The ILDE is a learning design platform, being developed within the METIS EU-funded research project, which provides a single and uniform entry point to a variety of existing learning design tools. The ILDE tools provide the means for going from the "idea" of a learning design to its enactment in an ICT learning platform (e.g. a VLE such as Moodle) without requiring technical expertise, and with a reduced workload.
