Benefit of this resource and how to make the best use of it
Indeed, today most teachers and educators work in an online learning environment, yet for many of them their immersion in online teaching was a necessary response to the global pandemic. Overnight we changed physical, traditional, learning environment to an online environment. This brought many challenges for teachers. A high number of them needed different and new skills and experiences in teaching as well as the support and collaboration with people of different backgrounds and expertise. Support units, learning technologists and instructional and learners designers now become more than ever in focus by extensively helping teachers to navigate this new environment and select appropriate tools for planned activities, to implement new pedagogies, and to design efficient, effective and enjoyable learning experience for their students. Learning designers across the globe led teachers out of the storm. The pandemic forced steps forward and an online pivot that were planned and foreseen for many years and prompted teachers everywhere into action by opening new opportunities for teaching and learning and highlighting the critical importance of learning design. In addition, it has moved the focus from content creation to the users learning experience supported by appropriate learning environments. How teachers navigated these pedagogical changes, what kind of challenges they experienced and what kind of support they required with designing their courses is the topic of this session.
