What was it about? 

Within the framework of the international EdUp project – Support and Expansion of the Ukrainian Higher Education Sector in the Area of Resources and Technology – an online masterclass dedicated to the modern ABC Learning Design methodology took place. The event brought together educators from universities in Ukraine and the European Union who worked in academic teams on the visual design of courses using storyboards — maps of learning activities aimed at achieving module objectives.

   

Why is it important? ✅ 

ABC Learning Design is an effective methodology for: 

• Creating new programs and courses 

• Modernizing existing courses in online or blended formats 

• Visualizing course logic and assessment forms 

📌 Participants received a European certificate upon completing the training and gained practical skills in educational content design.

   

Results of Ukrainian educators’ participation: 

• Over 40 lecturers from Ukrainian partner universities of the EdUp project participated 

• The first digital course projects were created, which will be further developed within WP3: Content Creation via Teacher Twins 

• The event received high marks for interactivity, practical value, and modern methods 

   

📌 The event became part of the systematic activities of the EdUp project to strengthen the capacity of Ukrainian education and implement European practices in course development.

🔜 The next step — adapting the acquired approaches to courses developed in partnership between Ukrainian and EU educators.
