Course: Globalization (Test Module) > Section: Globalization

We are introducing you a Moodle course on globalization, for k12 students, as a demonstrative activity of SUCCESS Project.

The course was set up using Universal Design for Learning (UDL), as model for good practices and is intended to be accessible and engaging for all learners, regardless of their background or abilities. To ensure that learners are challenged appropriately and can build on their prior knowledge, we  have structured the course according to the Bloom taxonomy, in the latest and adapted form.

At the lower levels of the taxonomy (knowing and understanding), learners will be introduced to key concepts and definitions related to globalization. As they progress through the course, they will also be asked to analyze and evaluate the impact of globalization on different areas of society, and ultimately, to create their own solutions to the challenges posed by globalization.

Using the UDL principle of multiple means of representation, we  have presented this history in a variety of formats, such as text, images, and videos, to cater to different learning styles. We also  used the UDL principle of multiple means of expression to provide learners with a range of options for demonstrating their understanding, such as written assignments, group discussions, and multimedia presentations. Through this course, learners will also  develop a deep understanding of the complex and dynamic nature of globalization, and will be equipped with the skills and knowledge to engage with this important topic in a critical motivated and informed way.

In this course, users will be able to check the main aspects of the UDL framework in connection with each activity by clicking on the reference links (e.g. 8.1 ! 2.1...) that will pop up a window with information.

In conclusion, by leveraging the principles of UDL and the adapted Bloom taxonomy, we think we have created a course that is both accessible and challenging, and that supports the diverse needs of all learners. We also hope it can serve as a model of good practice for  other teachers and education professionals.
