Program Overview

The Smart Learning Design course is a MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) offered by the Politecnico di Milano. The course aims to provide teachers, educators, and decision-makers with the tools and methodologies necessary to effectively integrate digital resources and technologies into their teaching practices.

Course Description

The course focuses on the Smart Learning Design 25 model, which allows for the deconstruction of the learning process into its constituent elements (learning events) and their subsequent reconnection in a systemic way. This approach enables the design of effective and engaging educational interactions aimed at achieving lasting learning outcomes.

Course Objectives

By actively participating in this course, students will be able to:

• Recognize the main motivations and directions of evolution in the current educational context and the key components of an innovation process in a hybrid context
• Describe and apply the SLD25 method to design learning-teaching interventions that effectively integrate all variables of the hybrid context
• Critically evaluate online or face-to-face context options to design learning events and their relationships in detail

Course Structure

The course is divided into three weeks:

Week 0 - Introduction to the Course

Introduction to the course and its objectives.

Week 1 - Smart Learning Design 25

Reflection on the need for educational innovation processes that optimize balances between the classroom and digital environments, and illustration of the main characteristics of the Smart Learning Design 25.

Week 2 - Learning Events

Exploration of the "learning events" that are the basis of the Smart Learning Design 25 method, understanding how students can act within these events and how teachers can best support this process.

Week 3 - Designing Smart Learning

Reflection on the choice between "online" and "face-to-face" and description of three possible didactic sets that integrate all variables of the hybrid context into a coherent but flexible project for teachers and students.

Prerequisites

There are no prerequisites for participating in the course.
