Starting a new online learning experience with the MOOC: “l’APP, une pédagogie active”

I’ve started to take another massive open online course, this time to update my competencies in the domain of “higher education pedagogy”.

I’m really looking forward to this course, because it will serve me directly in my daily teaching activities and because I know some of the people who developed it.

I am supposed to learn the following things with the help of this MOOC:

Comment rédiger une situation-problème de départ qui soit appropriée à vos étudiants;
Comment animer un APP en prenant le rôle d’enseignant-tuteur;
Comment évaluer les apprentissages de vos étudiants avec cette méthode.

If you’re interested, come and join me (and many others) in this learning adventure.

About me

I am an Assistant Professor at the University of Luxembourg in the field of learning and teaching sciences. My PhD thesis was in cognitive psychology, focusing on implicit learning processes. I have always been interested in the integration of ICT in education, especially the strategic use of technology in teaching. With the advent of the digital revolution, I became interested in exploring the socio-cultural changes in learning caused by the use of digital technologies.

My current research focuses on the subjective theories of learning held by teachers and how these influence their use of ICT in the classroom. I am particularly interested in identifying factors that enable or hinder the use of ICT in teaching, and how these factors can be addressed.

Throughout my career, I have worked extensively as a teacher trainer in the field of educational technologies. I have experience with various forms of active pedagogy approaches, including problem-based, project-based, and design-research approaches. My goal is to help teachers integrate technology into their teaching practice in a way that enhances student learning and engagement.
