Mrs. Sancassani, can you give some recommendations to an educational framework developer in the context of the digital transition we all are facing?
First, I would suggest using for the educational framework concept the following: “Instructional Design” or “Learning Design”.
The Learning Design process starts from a very deep analysis of the situation, including limits, opportunities, backgrounds, and objectives of the actors that will be involved in the learning path and only on this basis is possible to design effective courses. The main goal is to transform knowledge, abilities, and competencies of people and not to just transfer knowledge. But to transform knowledge, abilities, and competencies of people, you must engage them, to make them think, to make them act and do things with others, because we are human beings and human beings learn thanks to social actions with others.
Otherwise, we have only a transfer, that is not actually something transformative.
It is like I pick something and move it to another room with the idea to never use it in my life.
We want to make people change their life due to their learning experiences. And this is my message for the Learning Designers.
