93608 - Workshop on Teaching Innovation and educational Technologies (G.H)

Learning outcomes

At the end of the laboratory students know the most important ICT; they are able to use ICT to find, assess, produce, present and exchange information and to communicate and participate to collaborative networks on Internet; they can analyze and evaluate critically tools and technologies for teaching and learning; they are able to use ICT for critical thinking, creativity and innovation; they are able to use ICT to design, document, monitor and assess didactical activities.

Course contents

Erasmus and exchange students are required to contact prof. Elena Pacetti (elena.pacetti@unibo.it) to verify the possibility to add this lab to their learning agreement.

This laboratory will explore various dimensions of digital technologies applied to education through a practical and experimental approach. Students will engage with tools for information organization and visualization, with particular focus on concept mapping methodologies and graphic organizers.

Significant attention will be dedicated to multimedia production, exploring video editing techniques, audio manipulation, and graphic content creation. The laboratory will also include experiences in designing and developing audiovisual products using creative and innovative methodologies.

Special emphasis will be placed on inclusive technologies and digital accessibility tools, as well as the integration of game mechanics in learning processes. Students will develop transversal competencies in the critical and conscious use of technologies, focusing on their application in diversified educational contexts.

This laboratory takes place in the first semester (October/November 2025).

 In case of admission, 75% attendance is compulsory: a maximum of 6 hours of absence is allowed, but the first and last meeting are compulsory, under penalty of exclusion from the whole laboratory.

As concerns the teaching methods of this course unit, all students must attend Module 1, 2 [https://www.unibo.it/en/services-and-opportunities/health-and-assistance/health-and-safety/online-course-on-health-and-safety-in-study-and-internship-areas ] on Health and Safety online.

Assessment methods

The Educational Technologies Laboratory (code 68014) (students in debt of the laboratory) has an evaluation which is expressed as pass/fail, accompanied by a qualitative evaluation (sufficient, good, excellent, with honours) on the basis of:
-active participation in the laboratory;
-behavior of the student;
-punctuality in the delivery of papers, exercises, artefacts;
-quality of the works produced according to specific criteria shared in the classroom by the laboratory teacher.
To obtain eligibility, the student must attend lessons and actively participate in the proposed activities in person; deliver all the required exercises respecting the deadlines.


For all laboratories


Please remember that each laboratory includes hours of in-person lessons and hours of individual study (each CFU is 25 hours in total). Therefore it will not be enough to attend the laboratory to obtain the evaluation, it will instead be necessary to carry out all the required exercises.

Students with specific learning disorders and\or disabilities: please, contact the office responsible (https://site.unibo.it/studenti-con-disabilita-e-dsa/en/for-students) as soon as possible so that they can propose acceptable adjustments. The request for adaptation must be submitted in advance (15 days before the exam date) to the lecturer, who will assess the appropriateness of the adjustments, taking into account the teaching objectives.

Teaching tools

Lectures are usually in the computer lab with pc and interactive whiteboard.
