Theme 1: Design methodology
Innovating education, such as focusing on blended learning or shifting from traditional education in lecture halls towards a digital learning environment, always raises design issues.
Different techniques have been developed in different fields that can be applied in design-oriented research, such as design based research in computer science and the precede-proceed model in the health sciences. Educational design can involve ethical, cultural, legal and psychological issues that call for an multidisciplinary approach.
