The training took place in Wiener Neustadt, the home city of the European Initiative for Education, from May 3rd to May 5th, 2022. The EBI was responsible for three different training contents:
- Critical Thinking
- Flipped Learning 3.0
- Technology in training (this subject has been integrated into the Individual Space of the Flipped Learning training course, delivered by a Moodle course).
Contents
Critical thinking
The workshop dealing with critical thinking started with a self-experience and ended with a groups-based analysis to identify on one hand the “Double Diamond of Thinking” (taken from the design model and interpreted for the general thinking process) and a group discussion about typical
issues in the critical thinking process. You can download the PDF of the presentation from this webpage here.

Flipped Learning
The Group Learning Space pace was extensively prepared by a platform-based Distance Training (using the EBI’s Moodle server) explaining the basic approach to Flipped Learning 3.0. After a short analysis of the Background of Bloom’s Taxonomy, the trainees developed together two mind maps presenting major elements of the Individual and the Group space. Active learning methods were named and analyzed in a brainstorming. Additionally, the learning group developed a personal insight into the systematic of the 187 elements and group formation of the 187 Global Elements of Effective Flipped Learning.

Learning Pill
The EBI developed a learning pill following the given preconditions and the request of the group. The approach follows the role the EBI plays in this project: The team selected a technical solution, implemented as an animated 2D comic.
Technical background: This video was created with AniMaker, the credits were created as PowerPoint$ videos, and the complete video has been edited with Adobe Premiere$. Sound creation was done with the Talkia Software, and sound recording was based on Audacity.
