Title: Self-evaluation and improvement of the design
Course: Learning Design > Section: Student-centred design, learning and teaching activities, and assessment

Each team should carry out an internal evaluation of its designs using the predefined criteria and the analytics available in the tool, while simultaneously working on improving the learning design in the BDP tool, supported by real-time analytics.

Self-evaluation criteria and discussion topics:

- appropriateness of the selected pedagogical approach
- appropriateness of the selected educational technology
- justification of the balance between group and individual work
- a sufficient level of feedback provided to students

Continue working on the course design using the BDP tool (learning-design.eu). As a team, design the teaching and learning activities (TLAs) within each unit (unit), including the selection of learning type, technology, delivery model, and the provision of feedback. In doing so, follow the guidelines and examples of good practice.

In parallel with designing, monitor the analytics (design analytics) to check the workload and the coverage of learning outcomes.

Possible alternatives to using the BDP tool for learning design include the ABC tool, as well as word-processing tools and spreadsheets for creating learning designs according to general learning design principles. If you have chosen other tools, then as a team use them to check whether all learning outcomes are covered, how many activities of each learning type are included, and whether the students’ workload is aligned with the plan.

Use a wiki or an external collaboration tool such as Google Docs for teamwork. Participate in the discussion forum within your team and share experiences with other teams.
