Abstract

The aim of this article is to describe the interdisciplinary design and production process of an TEO, an example of an Open Educational Practice (OEP) designed and produced in a higher education context that contributes to the continuing training of education professionals with educational resources developed with educational and scientific quality criteria. The Design Based Research (DBR) methodology is employed to present the techno-pedagogical development process, along with the guiding principles that have influenced its design and production, and a description of the final outcome. The result is the TEO Teenpods, which addresses issues related to the Positive Youth Development (PYD) approach and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The study questions the boundaries between higher and formal, non-formal and informal education; reflects on the transversality and usefulness of transmedia education as a strategy to generate open educational practices that promote self-directed training of education professionals through their participation, agency, and empowerment; and provides guidelines and orientations to generate quality practices and Open Educational Resources (OER) in the digital era.
