Blended Learning
The EBI/EIE was member of th consortium in a Multilateral Project about Blended Learning. The focus was laid to quality enhancement in this project. The findings of this project will be the emphases of this course.
How to create stunning Blended Learning Courses
The EIE (European Initiative for Education) is going to offer a special KA 1 Project in cooperation with the DigiLab of the university of Rome “La Sapienza” with the focus on “Creating Blended Learning Courses“. The core content of this project will be an In-Service Training course for teachers and trainers (formal as well as non-formal education) and university teachers.
The project focuses on the creating of Blended Learning courses. These type of courses consist of several onsite teaching parts and additional technology enhanced distance courses. The In-service Training is a structured course (eligible for KA 1) and based on competency oriented learning. The offered training content is structured by competences.
Taught competences at the course (selection of main competences)
- Be able to understand the concepts of Blended Learning.
- Be able to use the theoretical background theory of Blended Learning
- Be able to develop and structure a defined course with given learning/training outcomes as a Blended Learning Course
- Be able to implement the basics of a quality framework in the developed Blended Learning Course
- Be able to develop the necessary tutorial support of Blended Learning Courses
- Be able to use a learning platform for the Distance Learning phase
- Be able to split the course into the classroom teaching and distance learning
The course is structured in competence-oriented learning outcomes and offers a high level of practical assignments and best praxis examples. The preparation phase uses a distance learning platform to introduce theoretical knowledge to the participants.
A final assessment is foreseen in the course and stated in the certificate of attendance, a EuroPass Moblility is available too.
The project itself is run as a Blended Learning Course as an example of good practice.
Organisation
Preparation Phase
The preparation work will be done using the eLearning platforms of the EBI. There, the course materials are provided and most of the theoretical background knowledge is taught. The participants will be able to access them by entering their personal password. They should start thematic discussions in the web forum of the platform (thanks to a tutor). All participants will receive documents with basic definitions and descriptions for doing their preparation work.
In the first phase there are eTivities to solve and developed material is uploaded to a first assessment.
Classroom Training (Face to face)
During the on-site lessons, the participants work on the other topics, get assisted by tutors and finish the working program. The on-site teaching takes place in Wiener Neustadt at the DigiLab in modern computer labs. The course is finished by an assessment.
