**Simple Learning Design 2.0 (SLD 2.0)** is a [learning design](/source/Instructional_design) specification proposed by Durand and [Downes](/source/Stephen_Downes) from the [National Research Council of Canada](/source/National_Research_Council_of_Canada) in 2009.[1] It was intended as an interoperability specification, simpler to implement than [IMS Learning Design](/source/IMS_Learning_Design), a specification as of 2010 restricted only to pilot and research projects.[2] IMS Learning Design is a specification for describing methods of learning design, in a way that claims to be [pedagogically](/source/Pedagogy) neutral. Simple Learning Design 2.0 was designed to be implemented by developers in a commercial [e-learning](/source/E-learning) application,[citation needed][3][4] and was intended to be paired with a more complex specification, described as "a real [UML](/source/Unified_Modeling_Language) for learning design."[2] The intent behind SLD 2.0 was to propose a specification with a good balance between its expressivity and the simplicity of its implementation.[5]
