Prof Titi Candra Sunarti said that this activity is part of the PMC-FSCC project funded by ERASMUS-EDU-2023-CBHE. The project is a transnational cooperation project based on multilateral partnerships, especially between higher education institutions for capacity building in the field of higher education.
“This PMC-FSCC project will compile five micro-credential modules focussed on food security and climate change. Later, the module will be used by project members in learning and teaching activities,” she said.
In an effort to enhance participants’ skills in instructional design, Prof Titi Candra Sunarti explained that this activity aims to provide hands-on learning about writing and developing educational modules. The content of these modules will be directly tied to the learning achievements outlined in a previously completed micro-credential program. To ensure a high-quality learning experience, a team of facilitators from the esteemed University of the Philippines Los Banos will be guiding participants throughout the process
“The training program comprised nine individual lessons, each focusing on a specific writing module and its corresponding assessment methods. The responsibility for developing these modules fell to a collaborative team comprised of experts from IPB University, Brawijaya University, and The University of Philippines Los Banos. Their chosen theme centered on Risk Assessment in Food Security and Climate Change, and each component of these modules was then presented and discussed during the workshop itself.,” she added.
