Аннотация
Effective Continuous Professional Development (CPD) strategies are
needed for fostering the adoption of Learning Design (LD) practices, with the
ultimate goal of improving teaching quality. This paper presents a CPD approach
based on a novel LD platform (ILDE, Integrated Learning Design Environment).
The ILDE guides teachers along a full-lifecycle LD process and incorporates
social features that facilitate team co-design, as well as easy interactions
among trainees and facilitators in CPD actions. The paper summarizes
some first reflections after the evaluation of a set of ILDE-supported CPD actions
with teachers from Adult Education and Higher Education. Such reflections
provide clues on how to design LD training workshops, and on the need
for close monitoring of initial attempts to enact learning designs with students.
