PEDAGOGICAL ISSUES – about presence No teacher or facilitator present while the professionals are attending the course and developing competencies. Thus, our didactical approach has been situated in the framework and idea of “presence” and the course has been created focusing three presences: Social Presence: teambased work - Teaching Presence: MANUAL, reflection templates, re-appearance Cognitive Presence: .eg THINK – PLAN - ACT (Insp. D. Randy Garrison) 13-10-201913-10-201913-10-201913-10-201913-10-201913-10-201913-10-201913-10-201913-10-201913-10-2019

DIDACTICAL CONSIDERATIONS Creating an online open international course for professionals needs profound and thorough didactic attention. In the reflections and planning of teaching design that fits the online learning environment, we had to consider especially three overall aspects: CULTURAL AND INSTITUTIONAL ASPECTS DIDACTICAL E-LEARNING ASPECTS GRAPHICAL ASPECTS DIDACTICAL CONSIDERATIONS 13-10-201913-10-201913-10-201913-10-201913-10-201913-10-201913-10-201913-10-201913-10-201913-10-2019

Cultural and institutional aspects The online course is an international learning instrument for developing attention and competencies working with a subject that has very different approaches in different countries and pedagogical environments. In some pedagogical and social environments, the subject of healthy sexual development has a lot of attention – in some environments it is considered more or less as a taboo. In addition to that, the cultures and methods in pedagogical and social work differ from one country to country. The institutional level consist of a variety of approaches on how to integrate conventions and international law in the welfare task in order to live up to the responsibility of safeguarding children and young people 13-10-201913-10-201913-10-201913-10-201913-10-201913-10-201913-10-201913-10-201913-10-201913-10-2019

GRAPHICAL ASPECTS The online course is first a visual learning element; the graphics (pictures, colors, design) will be a part of “teaching presence” and have a strong impact of the learners´ approach and sense making. The online course has been developed with a strong attention to the graphical design We had a lot of considerations about the choice of colors, pictures and design on a subject as sensitive as this. SEE: Modul 2 Show THINK: what is your reactions to the colors and graphics? 13-10-201913-10-201913-10-201913-10-201913-10-201913-10-201913-10-201913-10-201913-10-201913-10-2019
