I found the subject matter of the post more compelling than the presentation (which is written quite passively, often in the subjunctive, and layered deep in theory). It describes the development and delivery of a teacher professional development (TPD) MOOC along the following lines: "The methodology focused on the teachers' own course redesign, proposing a cycle, based upon a continuous reflection on their practices, addressing the ideation and implementation process that would be involved in the migration from their face-to-face proposals to ERT." Yes, we could talk about care, collaboration and learner-centered design, but to me, the main features of the course were that it was short, tied directly to practice, and based in concepts already familiar to the teachers.
