The Covid-19 pandemic is challenging not only our everyday life and interaction but systemic processes and strategies such as the ones related to the health sector or education. And these challenges have a long term impact and will reflect in a more profound change in the way education and training will look like and the necessary abilities and competencies necessary for education and training providers.
The project “Quality Essential Skills for Teachers in Online Learning” is a 24 months strategic with the following objectives:
- O1: Development in an academic and collaborative way of 5 e-learning modules tackling essential competencies for quality online learning (online presence, interaction & dialogue, gamification, instructional design, feedback & assessment).
- O2: Creation of an European network of teachers’ trainers for online learning composed of 18 teachers that participate in an advanced TOT composed of 10 training days, feedback loops with end users (students and teachers at local level) and delivery of thematic webinars.
- O3: Increasing the competencies of over 2,450 teachers in order for them to deliver higher quality online classes tackling attractivity, interactivity and academic progress of students. The management framework of the project consists of 7 activities, 4 consortium meetings, monitoring and evaluation actions and a consistent communication and dissemination component.
By the end of the project, 5 Intellectual Outputs will be finalized (in English and the 4 languages of the project – French, Spanish, Norwegian, Romanian) and will be disseminated in the form of freely accessible e-learning courses:
- IO1 – E-learning “Building Self-confidence for online communication”
- IO2 – E-learning “Managing online interactive classrooms”
- IO3 – E-learning “Gamifying the online classroom”
- IO4 – E-learning “Instructional design for online learning”
- IO5 – E-learning “Students’ evaluation & feedback in the online environment”
The project has been designed as a response to the training and digital learning needs of teachers from the 4 partners countries and reflects the interest and strategic approach towards innovation, high-quality learning content development of the consortium partners and to their strategic partnership objectives within the Erasmus plus program.
