2025 Adaptive Design for Learning (ADL) Professional Certificate Course We are pleased to announce that the 2025 Adaptive Design for Learning (ADL) is now open for application. ADL is a professional online certificate course designed by the Ateneo de Manila Institute for the Science and Art of Learning and Teaching (SALT Institute), with support from the United Board for Christian Higher Education in Asia (United Board). Covering a period of 12 weeks, the ADL will run from 18 August to 19 November 2025. This online course aims to equip educators with principles, strategies, and tools for designing online courses, while allowing them to work at their own pace. Participants will specially revisit their course design and facilitation practices in the context of Generative AI: reconsidering the relevance of course goals, revisiting assessment practices, and considering new approaches for active and interactive learning. A total of 50 seats are available in the 2025 cohort. Priority will be given to institutions that have not sent any or had only one faculty member in a previous cohort. To help with the selection, “first come, first serve” may apply. |
