In the fifth and sixth week we explore the Learning Innovation Network tool for teaching and learning design, developed by METID - Politecnico di Milano, that sets the dynamic of interactions between subjects that generate the experience of teaching and learning and use them at the center of attention. 
The Learning Innovation Network is for the teacher designer a tool for the design of learning innovation: through the deconstruction of the learning experience in its key components (subjects, activities, content, channels, outside world) it stimulates observation and offers ideas for redesigning. After identifying and describing the subjects in the teaching and learning experience, in this sixth week we are going to focus on the planning related to content, channels of communication and strategies to integrate the “outside world” as well as monitoring finalized to assess the efficacy of teaching innovation interventions.

If you actively participate in the activities, at the end of the week you will be able to:

  • evaluate the potential of the Learning Innovation Network as a tool to analyze the context of teaching and learning and to activate designing processes finalized towards learning innovation.
  • apply the Learning Innovation Network tool to design teaching and learning innovation strategies within a course or part of a course;
  • apply adequate monitoring strategies to the teaching and learning experience to evaluate its effectiveness in relation to the achievement of the Intended Learning Outcomes.
