Smart Learning Design
This MOOC is designed for university and school teachers, trainers, and educational decision-makers. Its aim is to provide logical and methodological tools to effectively integrate and enhance digital resources and technologies in classroom-based teaching.
How can we design coherent and impactful learning experiences that strike a balance between in-person and online environments, between traditional classrooms and digital platforms? How can we manage the multiplicity of learning contexts made available by today’s "anytime, anywhere" paradigm?
The Smart Learning Design 25 (SLD25) model allows us to break down the complexity of the learning process into its core components (learning events) and then reconnect them in a systematic way—enabling the design of engaging and effective teaching interactions aimed at achieving long-lasting learning outcomes.
This MOOC was produced as part of the Edvance project – Digital Education Hub per la Cultura Digitale Avanzata. The project is funded by the European Union – Next Generation EU, Component 1, Investment 3.4 “Didattica e competenze universitarie avanzate".
For a wider diffusion of the course, learning materials including texts, infographics, diagrams and videos were translated from Italian to English through Artificial Intelligence software. Therefore they may contain inaccuracies.
