ABC (Arena Blended Connected) is a workshop-based approach to learning design from University College London (UCL). The approach models the 6 pedagogical approaches by Laurillard (2012) against the UCL connected curriculum. The approach is timely (90 minutes); methodical; group-led; highly-participative and particularly useful when transitioning to blended learning in both a pedagogical or mode of delivery context.
With HEFCE Catalyst funding the ABC team, led by Clive Young and Nataša Perović, are providing opportunities for non UCL-based adoption of the approach, and the approach is now being used more widely in the UK and internationally.
ABC Learning Design Workshop
Last Friday (9’th April 2018) I was fortunate enough to take part in an ABC workshop at UCL hosted by Clive and Nataša, with Professor Diana Laurillard.
