Where to start to innovate your teaching? But before that, what does it mean to innovate in the classroom? Designing Learning Innovation aims to put the designing culture at the service of learning innovation, supporting those who do not have a specific pedagogical background and those who wish to learn the basic tools of a good teaching design then to continue exploring the frontiers of innovation.

In the fifth and sixth week we explore the Learning Innovation Network as a tool for designing teaching and learning experiences, developed by METID - Politecnico di Milano. It places at the center of attention the dynamic of interactions among subjects that generate the experience of teaching and learning. The Learning Innovation Network is for the teacher designer a tool for designing learning innovation: through the deconstruction of the learning experience in its key components (subjects, activities, contents, channels, outside world) it stimulates observation and offers ideas for redesigning. In this fifth week, we will focus, in particular, on the use of Networked Learning to plan learning innovation, starting by identifying and representing the subjects of teaching and learning experience and the definition and description of learning activities for active classes. In the sixth week, the focus will be on the designing of contents, of communication channels and strategies to integrate the “outside world” in order to support teaching and learning activities, and monitoring the innovative experience of teaching-learning.
