Abstract
This article traces the development of a card-based method that weaves the conceptual structure of learning theories into the material practises of those involved in design for learning. Inspired by design thinking and design anthropology, this method also draws on the literature of education and the learning sciences and it is the embodiment of the ACAD framework. Developed in response to challenges encountered communicating research findings to heterogenous design teams, the ACAD cards have been used in (re)designing curricula and facilities in school and university settings in Australia and New Zealand. We argue this method supports educational innovation through abductive sensemaking or design synthesis and has the potential to support the reconciliation of material and conceptual structure in other contexts.
