Offer 1 with catalog number 4022611DNR for all students in the 1st and 2nd semester at a (D) Master - preliminary level.
Theoretical component:
The focus of the course is on the pedagogical/didactical support in view of educational innovations, with a specific focus on technology. Possible content areas are the integration of educational innovations such as e-portfolio systems, flipping the classroom, curriculum materials on media literacy, the processes of ICT integration in education at different aggregation levels (e.g. vision and policy planning in an educational setting), the elaboration of a training trajectory, etc. An important aspect of this project is that it concerns an authentic design problems from a real educational practice, which are tackled together with practice. Students are supported during the lectures to make decisions in design teams from a theoretical and methodological perspective. Therefore, the principles of educational design research and community service learning are integrated in the curriculum materials.
Practical component:
For the practical part, design teams of four students are set up. Students learn by designing and working together with the practice: they work on a concrete question together with the practice (e.g., schools) with the aim of creating an innovative ICT-rich solution (prototype). This intervention is central to the course unit. During the lectures, conceptual frameworks are given to help the students with the design of their prototypes. The progress and results are discussed via the seminars.
The team-oriented design of an educational product must be goal-oriented, systematic and stepwise. The intention is to go through an iteration on the basis of an existing design model (e.g. IDI-model). Relevant design models are explained in the lectures. Reflection is more important than the designed solution. To facilitate reflection, a portfolio system will be used so that scaffolds can be built in to promote the reflection process. A blended learning path will be available for this purpose. In the course, attention will be paid to the development of attitudes, including for instance cooperation, a sense of responsibility, dealing with resistance and being open to innovations.
For LIO-students: in-service training of 60 hours. If the student’s total number of hours is between 200 and 499 it might be impossible to perform enough unique training hours for this course. In that case, extra assignments or training is required, in proportion to the missing hours.
For students of campuses Anderlecht, Diest and Leuven 8 contact hours will be organised. 142h are completed as self-study.

Purpose
"Educational innovation and technology" mainly contributes to the development of the competence "the teacher as innovator-researcher" by improving educational processes with the help of technology, based on the principles of design-oriented research. Students must apply their theoretical, methodological and organisational knowledge in design teams in order to analyse a real educational problem, to design a prototype (solution), and to evaluate the prototype. This course also contributes to the learning outcomes with regard to collaboration and communication with different stakeholders. OLR 18 is therefore central to this course unit.
