Syllabus


WEEK 1

Theoretical bases and principles to create personalized learning environment in the classroom

In the first week, we will take time to review pedagogical, psychological, and philosophical theories and techniques that provide the basis for designing a personalized learning environment. Based on the results of this module, you will be able to explain the prerequisites and features of personalized learning.


WEEK 2

Curriculum design, Instructional strategies and Learning outcomes

This week, we focus on the learning outcomes through two lenses: from the teacher’s perspective and from the student perspective.

Educators have some pillars for their work: state educational standards, teaching materials, syllabus etc. But what do the students come with to the lesson? Do the students understand the learning outcomes written in the «educator’s» language? No. And no one really teaches students to understand this language. Therefore, to start teaching learners to reflect on their education, we need to translate these categories from teacher-oriented to student-friendly language, in other words, at the end of this week, you will take the first step to creating student-friendly materials».


WEEK 3

Understanding the mechanisms (drivers) of competence formation

This week, we'll look at several educational approaches so you can see how a well-designed course can differ from a set of classes. Keep in mind that no matter how interesting and exciting your lesson materials are, these tools don't work if we choose them based on the "tool for tool's sake" principle.


WEEK 4

Assessment and progress maps

This week we will remember and talk about an important component of any course – assessment. Which methods work best for personalization?


WEEK 5
