The TIDE-UPF research group participates in the FLeD project, focused on "Learning design for flexible education". The kick-off was at the premises of Universitat Autònoma De Barcelona.

FLeD is an Erasmus+ project coordinated by UAB researchers involving six universities, which aims to create resources to guide university faculty in the design of more flexible, inclusive and effective learning scenarios in digitally mediated contexts.

The project is carried out by a consortium composed of six universities: Universita Degli Studi Di Trento (Italy), Universidade Aberta (Portugal), Universitetet I Stavanger (Norway), Sofia University St Kliment Ohridski (Bulgaria), Universitat Pompeu Fabra (Spain), and Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (Spain). 

The FLeD project aims to guide university professors in the design of flexible and effective learning scenarios. Building upon the flipped classroom methodology, design patterns and a digital tool for pedagogical decision-making are being created to provide faculty with support in the flexibilization of higher education. 

The final product of this project will be a flipped classroom-based pattern with a framework to guide towards flexible, digital, and inclusive education; a lively and collaborative learning design experience through the FLeD digital platform for decision-making; a sustainable space for virtual training; open resources to support the practice and theory of effective flipped learning; and a network of experts in flexible learning.

TIDE-UPF leads the development of learning design technologies, and participates in the conceptual design and pilot studies.

The FLeD project was awarded to the UAB in the 2022-2025 KA220-HED - Cooperation partnerships in higher education call of the Eramus+ Programme.
