Samenvatting

In higher educational institutes, much time and effort is invested in the innovation of learning designs with educational technologies. To see a return on investment, it is important to work in an evidence-informed manner by incorporating both scientific and practice-based evidence to guide design decisions, and by generating new evidence by systematically evaluating innovations. Research has shown that the use of good (or best) practices can be instrumental when trying to support innovations in practice. For practice-based knowledge to be informative in a different context, and for the outcomes to be scaled up to support a broader field of application, the knowledge output needs to be both transferable and generic. Good practices presenting knowledge about successful innovations appeal to practitioners and support the transfer of practice-based research into practice. Still, research into the use of best practices shows that often times important information is left out in the presentation of the example, making them less effective. The use of a template can remedy this problem. In this paper, we present an evidence-informed template to describe good practices of evidence-informed educational innovation using technology. We discuss the development of this template, how it can be used by educational professionals and we reflect on the experiences with participants that experimented with this template in a workshop at the EAPRIL 2021 conference.
