Objectives

Produce web-based teaching materials on integrated planning and desing for coastal landscapes and the urban-land interface:
history, theory, core terminology, methods, tools, professional and research practice expemplified by European case studies.

Develop a guidance report for academics on how to teach integrated planning and design in the context of coastal
landscapes and the urban-land interface.

Enhance interdisciplinary cooperation for developing innovative, creative and sustainable ideas for coastal landscapes​.

Enhance students’ ability to work in international virtual teams.

Enable teaching staff to conduct a blended learning activity both technically and methodically.

​Curricular integration of integrated planning and design for the urban-land interface/coastal landscapes at all partner
universities

Outputs

Output 1: CO-LAND Online Course and Webinar
The online course on integrated planning and design for coastal landscapes in Europe will use self-study materials for building a common theoretical foundation. The material will be designed in such a way that different preconditions regarding the learners’ prior knowledge will be taken into account (adaptive structures). All of this will be embedded into a blended learning concept consisting of self-study phases, virtual classroom sessions with peers/experts and virtual team work with international fellow students.

Output 2: Guidance report for university teachers: How to teach integrated planning and design for coastal landscapes (and the urban-land interface)​
This guidance report is addressed to academic teaching staff and intends to support teachers in adopting innovative approaches to teaching integrated planning and design into higher
education teaching and learning. The report will take the findings from the course evaluations into account. It will be made available as open educational resource.
