This professional development course empowers university educators to create more effective and engaging learning experiences in a blended landscape. It provides a comprehensive journey from foundational pedagogical theory to confident practical application. 

Participants will explore the science of how students learn, focusing on proven strategies to foster deep, lasting understanding over surface memorization. You will learn to systematically design courses using powerful frameworks like Backward Design and Universal Design for Learning (UDL), ensuring your teaching is both intentional and inclusive. The program then offers a practical guide to transformative active learning strategies, including Problem-Based Learning (PBL), Team-Based Learning (TBL), and the Flipped Classroom. 

Crucially, these pedagogical approaches are connected to their implementation in a digital environment. You will gain hands-on skills for building and managing courses on the Moodle LMS and discuss how to ethically integrate modern tools, including AI. Ultimately, this course equips you to deliver learning experiences that are pedagogically sound, technologically proficient, and profoundly engaging for 21st-century students.
