Simple Learning Design 2.0 (SLD 2.0) is a learning design specification proposed by Durand and Downes from the National Research Council of Canada in 2009.Durand, G., Downes, S.: Toward Simple Learning Design 2.0. In: 4th Int. Conf. on Computer Science & Education 2009, Nanning, China, pp. 894-897, 2009. It was intended as an interoperability specification, simpler to implement than IMS Learning Design, a specification as of 2010 restricted only to pilot and research projects.{{Cite book |last1=Derntl |first1=Michael |last2=Neumann |first2=Susanne |last3=Griffiths |first3=Dai |last4=Oberhuemer |first4=Petra |chapter=Investigating Teachers' Understanding of IMS Learning Design: Yes They Can! |series=Lecture Notes in Computer Science |date=2010 |editor-last=Wolpers |editor-first=Martin |editor2-last=Kirschner |editor2-first=Paul A. |editor3-last=Scheffel |editor3-first=Maren |editor4-last=Lindstaedt |editor4-first=Stefanie |editor5-last=Dimitrova |editor5-first=Vania |title=Sustaining TEL: From Innovation to Learning and Practice |chapter-url=https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-642-16020-2_5 |volume=6383 |language=en |location=Berlin, Heidelberg |publisher=Springer |pages=62–77 |doi=10.1007/978-3-642-16020-2_5 |isbn=978-3-642-16020-2}} IMS Learning Design is a specification for describing methods of learning design, in a way that claims to be pedagogically neutral. Simple Learning Design 2.0 was designed to be implemented by developers in a commercial e-learning application,{{Citation needed|date=April 2024}}{{Cite book |title=Simple Learning Design 2.0 |url=https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/5572489 |access-date=2024-05-05 |date=2010 |doi=10.1109/ICALT.2010.156 |last1=Durand |first1=Guillaume |last2=Belliveau |first2=Luc |last3=Craig |first3=Benjamin |pages=549–551 |isbn=978-1-4244-7144-7 }}{{Cite journal |date=August 2010 |title=Simple Learning Design 2.0 |url=https://www.researchgate.net/publicatio/224174538_Simple_Learning_Design_20 |journal=ResearchGate }} and was intended to be paired with a more complex specification, described as "a real UML for learning design." The intent behind SLD 2.0 was to propose a specification with a good balance between its expressivity and the simplicity of its implementation.Durand G., Belliveau L., Craig B., "Simple Learning Design 2.0, icalt, pp.549-551, 2010 10th IEEE International Conference on Advanced Learning Technologies, 2010.
