Abstract	The recent proliferation of online learning designs presents a challenge: How can professional learning leaders decide which designs will be the most effective? A first step in considering how to shape professional learning is to understand the fundamentals of what makes learning meaningful to adults. Within a particular context, educators will engage in learning that will result in implementation of new practices, leading to successful learners. The authors investigated more than 50 professional learning designs. They narrowed the designs they studied to 27. They identified a set of elements that seemed to cut across the auditory, and physical construction of the professional learning that enabled engagement with the learning. The best elements are: Structure, Accessibility, Aesthetics, Content, Features, and Tools, which the authors define and describe. The authors concluded that getting the right design requires understanding and balancing context needs with what a design offers and requires. It must be flexible enough to fit the needs of the district or school without compromising its integrity. At the same time, since no design is perfect and can fill all the professional learning needs of everyone, schools and districts need to think about how they will supplement the design with their own devices.
