Abstract

What can you do when an online professional development module sees student numbers double? What effective but safe changes can you make to course design at short notice when both tutors and participants are working from home? This paper tackles learning design for large online groups during an educational crisis. Innovative 21stCentury Teaching is an online professional development module delivered by the University of Derby. The aim is to model and promote student-centred learning within a globalised educational environment. Participants in this postgraduate module are practising teachers from around the world. The module has been delivered twice in the context of the global pandemic. During the first quarter of 2020, it was delivered to 75 teachers and again in the first quarter of 2021, to 149 teachers across four continents.
