Abstract: This paper focuses on the design of learning tools that appropriately support ‘Learning Design’ (Koper and Tattersall, 2005). Specifically, these tools can be used in lesson planning to encourage the development of critical thinking in learners. In particular, a Cognitive Skill-based Question Wizard (CSQ-Wizard) is proposed as a supporting tool for teachers in their attempts to design appropriate lesson plans that can encourage the development of cognitive skills in learners. The design of this CSQ-Wizard is based on modern social and constructivist views of learning. The idea, the rationale, the architecture and the interface associated with the proposed CSQ-Wizard is presented through a specific example of possible implementation within LAMS; a web-based open source environment that supports Learning Design.
