Abstracts

EN

A number of projects teams are currently developing tools that use generic templates to share and reuse good teaching practice. They hope to introduce educators to the learning design process so that they might develop their own effective and pedagogically sound learning activities. In this way, they are encouraging the sharing and reuse of good practice in teaching and learning without requiring lecturers to become experts in learning design or theory.
