Abstract
As digital education practitioners, the authors of this chapter champion a pragmatic approach to critical instructional design, where small incremental changes for good can build to large-scale transformation. Drawing on lived experiences, they set the theoretical considerations within the daily constraints of educators to explore humane, practical solutions to digital problems related to teaching and learning in higher education. Using a biomimicry-orientated lens, they consider micro, meso and macro methods for changing and developing learning design culture. For each of these six emergent strategy elements, practical suggestions are provided from their work as well as educator activities for readers to experiment with in their own contexts.
