Learning Design COURSE 4

Description

You can study this online course in your own pace. It gives guidelines to design different kind of learning processes from progressive inquiry and phenomenon-based learning to blended learning processes. Phenomenon-based learning process begins with a phenomenon and forms a framework for the activity. Students address real-life phenomena through testing, wondering, examination and research. The opposite of this is subject-based teaching. Flipped classroom on the other hand means teaching that alternates between distance and classroom teaching. The teacher can scale his/her teaching to different group sizes, for example, to design theoretical studies for large groups and still make studying more learner-centered, collaborative and interactive. Flipped classroom is one form of blended learning where you often use videos for distance teaching. This course gives the teacher a possibility to compare these pedagogical approaches. This course is also about digitalizing studying and learning.

Studying process in each 60-minute lesson

Each 60-minute lesson is well described telling what teachers benefit from them. Lessons are well instructed for self-study online. You study watching videos, taking notes, listening to podcasts, reading texts and reflect on your own teaching with the help of quick start guides. Each lesson contains self-assessment and reflection.
