- The document describes the Arena Blended Connected (ABC) curriculum design workshop, which is a collaborative activity-based design workshop used at University College London (UCL) and University of Milan (UNIMI) to help academics design blended learning curriculums. - Over 300 participants have gone through the ABC workshop at UCL and 138 at UNIMI from January to July 2017. The workshop focuses on turning learning outcomes into sequenced activities and assessments through storyboarding and graphic representations. - ABC links curriculum design to institutional strategies and priorities through localizing the workshop and follow up support at each university. It aims to remove barriers to curriculum innovation through its collaborative and practical approach.
