Abstract
LOs ask teachers to present didactical material in an objective form so to make them easily re- usable by their colleagues. This is a complex task which entails the development of a methodological approach apt to support producer-teachers’ work. For this sake, we present guidelines for the design of didactical modules. This proposal aims to help teachers 1) to reflect on how to make explicit their own pedagogical intentions; 2) to detect methods apt to help write sharable LOs, without adding constraints on the choice of the pedagogical approach. This can constitute a starting point to enrich LOs’ metadata with more effective pedagogical information, so to meet teachers’ needs and use a language familiar to them.
