Curricular Package Design for Transversal Competencies Development in Virtual Classrooms

The Curricular Package Design for Transversal Competencies Development in Virtual Classroom is an open educational resource (OER). The first chapter tries to find an answer to the question How are transversal competences integrated in the HEIs curriculum? The authors identified three modalities: as distinctive courses or other learning activities dedicated to one or more transversal competences; by courses or training sessions organized by different universities’ departments (some of them in partnership with stakeholders) and integrated in the general curriculum, together with professional competences. The second chapter presents the role of learning outcomes, their importance both in curriculum and instruction, and includes some examples about how we can formulate learning outcomes based on different taxonomies.
