Planning and integrating digital teaching materials

In contemporary education, quality teaching is no longer defined solely by content, but by pedagogical design that connects learning outcomes, activities, modes of delivery, and technology. Learning design tools such as the Balanced Design Planning (BDP) tool play a key role in this process.

BDP enables teachers to design learning starting from the learning outcomes, linking them to learning and teaching activities, the mode of delivery (face-to-face, online, blended), and assessment methods. An important advantage of BDP is that it allows planning of student workload, ensuring a balance between course requirements and students’ realistic capacities (Divjak et al., 2022). In addition, the tool supports constructive alignment—the coherent connection between learning outcomes and assessment (Biggs, 1999).
