Resource collections
Approaches to Learning Design. JISC Guide 2018 (to be updated in 2022)
This site collected together a range of resources including design representations, practices, tools and literature around learning design. It looks like it might have been archived now though (last update 2013).
There are a number of resources available from Jisc around approaches to curriculum design at the institutional level. These developed from a series of funded projects on curriculum design, which ran between 2008 and 2012 and included the Viewpoints and OULDI projects.
This overview page contains lots of links to the project resources, and you may also find the following links useful:
Using technology to enhance curriculum design - web resource providing an overview of strategies for approaching curriculum design at the institutional level
Enhancing curriculum design with technology - report (PDF) describing outcomes from the curriculum design projects
Curriculum design and support for online learning - web resource to support institutions in making choices about curriculum design

Digital tools to support learning design
Learning Designer http://learningdesigner.org/
The Learning Designer suite of tools enables teachers to share their good teaching ideas. It is intended to help a subject teacher see how a particular pedagogic approach can be migrated successfully across different topics. There are sample patterns to browse and edit, or you can design your own from scratch.
