Summary/Abstract: In the digital age, Open and Distance Learning (ODLT) presents itself as a new challenge the implementation of new IT systems while creating interdependence among the participants by carrying out active action tasks through differentiated and innovative practices in order to adapt to the new professional requirements of a society undergoing profound change. In the context of collaborative distance learning, the mentor's contribution proves to be essential in setting up an action-oriented pedagogy where participants will be able to optimize their expectations by implementing collaborative online tasks through the adoption of an interactive project pedagogy and the integration of both new open and distance learning (ODL) devices, with a view to achieving self-accomplishment and meeting the new training requirements that are being created. The psychological and emotional investment of the participants reinforces their motivation but also their commitment to develop digital skills and cultivate transversal competences with the application of sophisticated IT systems. On the one hand, we will highlight the challenges of computer-based pedagogy in open and distance learning. On the other hand, we will focus on the constructive interactional approach through the implementation of the action-oriented approach and focus on the elaboration of the syllabus planning sheet of a Master's module in Didactics of Foreign Languages (DFL). Finally, the syllabus will be elaborated to didactize a master course module by selecting the innovative teaching methods in higher education while specifying their functions and the types of relevant activities while promoting spiral development by distinguishing the different stages of realization of the iterative method in the implementation of the e-learning project.
