The ABC-LD@4EU+: enhanced version of the ABC Learning Design workshop tailored for the European University Alliance’s needs

Abstract

The chapter shows how the 4EU+ Alliance adapted the original ABC Learning Design method for collaborative course design across eight European universities with different traditions, languages, and pedagogical cultures.Its main innovations were the addition of student workload, synchronous/asynchronous and on-campus/online dimensions to the cards and storyboard, together with a preparatory phase, a glossary of more than 60 terms, and new 4EU+ strategy cards.The authors conclude that ABC-LD@4EU+ became a practical and transferable model which, supported by tools such as Moodle, Draft.io, and Zoom, enables flexible, student-centred, and internationally shared course design.
