Training course
Digitalization of educational practices stands high on policy agendas at European and national levels. The COVID-19 pandemic caused the largest disruption of education in history having an impact on learners and trainers in all levels and types of education. This conjuncture greatly accelerated the digital transformation of all educational institutes requiring a transition to online learning models and tools. However, the educational staff and particularly those that teach more theoretical topics do not necessarily have the appropriate ICT knowledge and skills to successfully support online training. Successful online training is not only accomplished by using online educational methods and tools such as interactive platforms, videos, web conferencing tools, online creation of assignments and quizzes or the selection of high quality online educational resources. It is the appropriate online delivery pedagogy that engages students through online learning.
In this context, the RE-EDUCO project encourages the production, experimentation and sharing of new approaches and training methods in the field of digital culture. It enhances the role of digital culture improving the possibilities for growth and exchange, widening the choices for young people in private and professional life.
Being part of a comprehensive work plan, this online training course aims to address potential digital skills shortages and improve the capacities of the educational staff in effectively incorporating innovative online training approaches and tools. The course includes 6 modules:
- Module 1 – Student Centred Learning Techniques
- Module 2 – Peer Assisted Learning Strategies
- Module 3 – Technology Enhanced Assessment
- Module 4 – Technology Enhanced Learning Tools
- Module 5 – Module Design – Carpe Diem Workshops
- Module 6 – Managing RPL Assessments and Portfolios
