The Apple Developer Academy is a partnership between the University of Napoli Federico II and Apple. Training at the Academy is aimed at developing apps for the world’s most innovative and vibrant app ecosystem. The program focuses on software development, startup creation, and app design with an emphasis on creativity and collaboration.\

Apple Developer Academy

University of Naples Federico II (Italy) conducts a formative software development training program for the Apple technology ecosystem using the Challenge Based Learning (CBL) methodology. To overcome shortcomings of spiral curriculum principles, the course design adopts a Narrative Experience Design approach to let the learning progression be driven by learners as co-authors and support unscripted, emergent narratives for experiential education to foster learners’ engagement, agency, and creativity. In consideration of synchronous and asynchronous learning modalities, the authors developed a systematic approach for narratively driven learning activity design for application in blended or remote learning scenarios. In this paper, the authors present their activity design process to compose learning activities with narratively sequenced atomic elements to address different learning dimensions. Through a collaboration tool-based Learning Activity Design Canvas for blended or remote learning, the authors further contribute toward a comprehensive framework for designing educational experiences for project-based education.

Designing Narratively Driven Learning Activities for Blended Learning Experiences

Instructor on iOS Development using Swift at the **Hackatruck Project** team, a three weeks course to introduce university students to iOS app development using the **Swift programming language**. The methodology behind it was the **Challenge Based Learning** (CBL).\
\
I have performed the course, alongside other instructors, in different universities in different states throughout Brazil, introducing the world of iOS development to students, including those from non computer science related backgrounds.\
\
Among the responsibilities were:\
• Creating and updating pedagogical material for the course\
• Performing the learning activities\
• Mentoring the students on the development of their personal projects\
• Managing the learning environment\
\
You can see the results of the first and second phases of the project at the [Hacktruck project portal](https://hackatruck.com.br/area/Home/O+Projeto/HackaTruck+2015-2017/).
