Teaching and collaboration.

IVDIVO Synthesis University can consider proposals from educators, authors, translators, researchers and organisations where the contribution fits the platform’s educational scope and source standards.

Prepare a course outline →   Discuss a collaboration →   Understand the facilitator pathway →

Different partners, different roles.

EDUCATORS

Teaching proposals

Propose a course, seminar support role, study track or educational contribution that can be reviewed before publication.

AUTHORS

Source material & editions

Discuss publication, adaptation or multilingual editions where authorship and permissions can be identified clearly.

ORGANISATIONS

Joint educational activity

Explore co-produced learning programmes, research, cultural projects, public events or other clearly scoped joint work.

For educators & authors

Turn your idea into a course outline.

Start with the learner and the outcome. Use this planner to bring your subject, modules, practical work and sources into one outline for editorial discussion.

This planner does not submit a proposal or create a course. Copy or download your outline before leaving the page; your entries are not saved by the planner.

Next · prepare one sample lesson

Show how your course will teach.

A sample lesson makes the proposal concrete. Choose one learning outcome and show how the source material, explanation, practical work and review criteria fit together.

Build a complete learning sequence.

  1. Give the learner a reason to begin. Start with a relevant question, explain the purpose and state what the learner should be able to do.
  2. Teach through sources and practice. Identify the source, explain the idea, show an example and give clear steps for an activity.
  3. Make the result reviewable. Say what to produce, how to check it and whether any feedback is included.

Use the template to prepare a text lesson, a recorded lesson, a creative workshop or a combination of formats.

If you have created a course outline above, it is included with the lesson brief. Otherwise, you receive a blank template. Fill it in using your own document.

This document is a preparation aid. Downloading or copying it does not submit a proposal, approve a lesson or publish a course. Complete it in your own document and use the University's collaboration contact route when ready.

When your outline and sample lesson are ready, contact the University to discuss the proposal. The files remain with you until you choose to share them.

ORGANISATIONS · INSTITUTIONS · CREATIVE COLLABORATION

Read the Partnerships framework →

A partnership begins with a clear proposal.

An institution, university group, cultural organisation or community partner can propose a limited collaboration. A proposal is not endorsement, admission to the method's internal facilitator programme or an agreement to publish recordings.

Educational events

Identify organiser, host, facilitator, language, audience, venue or platform, accessibility and participation terms.

Research and sources

Define the research question, primary sources, intellectual property, how evidence is checked and how philosophical interpretation is distinguished from findings.

Media and editions

Propose translation, recording, audio, video or publication work with named rights holders, editorial review, language and audience. Creative Production remains a separate project.

Review sequence: initial enquiry → source and rights review → educational and editorial scope → responsibilities and conditions → an explicit written decision. No external organisation is described as a partner before confirmation.

Submit a collaboration enquiry →   Facilitator authorisation explained →   Creative Production ↗

There are no open job listings on this page at present. The collaboration route is for concrete educational or publishing proposals, not a promise of employment, payment, instructor status or publication.
