Why Learning Innovation

The topic of this first week “Why should we carry out Learning Innovation” explores the concept of Learning Innovation and the reasons behind it, trying to find an answer to the question: “why should we need to innovate our teaching?”

The Intended Learning Outcomes

In this second week we will look into the topic of Intended Learning Outcomes (ILOs) and their key role as a guide in the process of designing teaching experiences. We will start from the Constructive Alignment theory to then analyze the Dublin Descriptors and Bloom’s Taxonomies, useful in helping us to create a richer plan for the Intended Learning Outcomes.

The Assessment

The topic of this third week is Assessment of the teaching and learning experience.

The Pedagogical Frameworks

In this fourth week we will consider the pedagogical frameworks and their potential use when designing learning innovation.
