• Refine the structure, content, learning objectives, and pedagogical approaches of each CPD module to ensure coherence across all sections and alignment with the validated ICT–AI CST.
• Enhance the quality and feasibility of teaching and learning activities, assessment strategies, and facilitator guidance.
3. Plan the Next Steps for Final Editing, Piloting, and Implementation
• Define follow-up actions, responsibilities, and timelines for final editing by the end of 2025, as well as for piloting and nationwide rollout of the CPD modules in 2026.
