MOOC

To Learn and Design ICT-Based Learning-Design Activities

Barcelona (E), August 2014 - The HANDSON project will launch the third edition of the "Learning Design Studio for ICT-based Learning Activities MOOC" on 27 October 2014. The HANDSON consortium is looking for educators to participate in a free, open, and online course (MOOC) that will support educators in the creation and adaptation of lessons and learning activities with the use of ICT tools.

The course will last five weeks, and a group of facilitators will support you in the task of designing your own learning activities and lessons. The course will be offered in six languages: English, Spanish, Catalan, Greek, Slovenian, and French.

The features of the course are

  • a focus on the Learning Design Studio (LDS) approach, a design process to help educators design courses and learning activities
  • facilitators from several countries with expertise in online learning, creativity and the Learning Design Studio who will work with participants to explore the potential of this learning method to introduce ICT in the teaching and learning processes
  • the opportunity to observe, practice, and learn with other educators about methods for peer review and peer mentoring
  • the creation of practical artefacts that can be reused by educators in their actual classrooms or learning scenarios
  • the use of specific tools to support the process of learning design: ILDE, Learning Designer, and ODS
