D/OTE Competences
Learning Design in D/OTE
Description
Design is an important aspect underlying our everyday lives, for when things are well-designed they function well for their intended purpose. This is also true when it comes to learning design, where we shift our focus from what we as teachers do, to design what our students should do in order to achieve the desired learning outcomes. In distance and online theological education, learning design is particularly relevant, and as theological educators we need to develop new competences in designing learning, in using media and online resources and in designing delivery patterns for D/OTE.
