At METID we developed the Smart Learning Design\u201c method\u201d<\/strong>, an approach that overcomes the distinction between presence and online, physical and digital, focusing on the design of active and participatory learning experiences oriented towards learning outcomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The smart learning paradigm expands the teaching process beyond the separation of lecture, study and exercise. The SLD25 method is based on the 25 hours of commitment<\/strong> required to obtain a CFU, of which 6-12 hours take place in the classroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The SLD25 provides several learning scenarios<\/strong>: presential, synchronous online, asynchronous online and autonomous mode. The key variable is time, which determines the weight of each learning event while maintaining the overall balance of the 25 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Learning events can be individual or collaborative and assessed or not assessed<\/strong>. The method manages complexity by breaking down and recombining events in a hybrid system that integrates synchronous and asynchronous, individual and collaborative, physical and digital, autonomous and guided dimensions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The method uses a visual frame<\/strong>, an evolution of UCL's ABC method, to coordinate and balance activities during the semester, ensuring consistency between educational objectives, teaching methods and the commitment required of students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart Learning Design<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The short manual, revised by Carlo Mariconda<\/strong> based on the MOOC created and implemented by Susanna Sancassani<\/strong>, It was created with the aim of facilitating understanding of the transformative processes of didactics in higher education according to the Smart Learning Design model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Published by @padovaup with the title \u201cSmart Learning Design. The 10-step method<\/strong>\u201d<\/em>, the handbook guides the design of hybrid education through 10 clear and agile steps, supplemented by video explanations from the MOOC available on POK Polimi Open Knowledge<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The text offers a clear and quick explanation of the method, designed to understand it and apply it in practice. For this, the possibility of downloading all the operational materials - such as cards, board and quick instructions - useful for using it in a practical way is also provided.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The manual, published in Open Access, can be downloaded here only in italian.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 1<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

1. Choose learning events<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Choose the Learning Events (i.e. the cards) that make up your course. Associate each week of the course with the cards you intend to use<\/strong>, paying particular attention to the time to be devoted to each one.
Will there be interactive lessons, a project, some exercises and some retrieval time in your course? Get inspired by all the cards... and don't hesitate to include some you have never experienced.
Attention : ) You may spot a repeating cycle: if you recognise it, it may be useful to focus on it and fine-tune it!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
