Abstract
There are currently numerous learning theories and methodologies that teachers can use in their classes, depending on their educational goal and the specific subject matter taught. In addition, there are numerous technologies and tools that can help in the implementation of these learning theories and methodologies. This article builds on the Blooms taxonomy for the cognitive domain for learners and the DigCompEdu framework of digital competences for educators and defines a classification that organizes instructional design methods with the aim to help educators find the right method for orchestrating their classes. This classification uses the analogy of the pyramid, climbing levels as the student has a more active role in his own learning. The pyramid proposed to organize instructional design methods contains six levels, from the base of the pyramid (lowest level) to the top of the pyramid (highest level): knowledge transfer, interactive knowledge transfer, challenged knowledge, analytic learning, experiential learning, and active learning. This pyramid is intended to put some order into the many learning theories and methodologies that exist.
