PROGRAM SUMMARY:

The main goal of the course is to help school teachers and trainers of adults creating a holistic approach to support development of their students/trainees/learners by using web-based interactive objects. The course will present different types of interactive web-based materials, teachers and educators can create and use in online and onsite education. The suggested methods in the course are regarding the UNESCO’s guidelines for teachers “Ensuring effective distance learning during COVID-19 disruption” and Education 2030 Agenda. Throughout the course, participants will get familiar with the innovative methodological approach in the education, of creating and using interactive multimedia materials in the fields of science, mathematics, humanistic studies and sports obtained within several workshops led by the method “learning by doing”. Despite presenting innovative best practice, the course shows how basic psychological needs of safety, belongingness and self-esteem needs to be put on the first place when using web-based educational resources. The participants will acquire competences so as to design and implement courses; guide learners/students to provide interaction and support with health habits, games, and reading; understand the perspective of learners/students and connect the home situation with age-specific development; and prepare for challenges while being flexible in their expectations. Interactive simulations and virtual environments can play a significant role in facilitating learning through engagement, immediate feedback and by providing real-world contexts.

One of the delivery methods during the course is the simulation of real lessons with learners/students. Participants will, most of the time, step in the shoes of learners/students practicing the online distance learning. Participants will use branching to let learners/students choose their own path within a course and provide an individual learning experience for each learner/student (different storyline twists and endings that depend on their choices). The simulations will be accompanied by discussions on different scenarios of delivering the training sessions suggested by the participants. The course is designed in a way that it offers school teachers and adult trainers several beneficial activities for their professional development in the fields of ICT and web-based multimedia creating .
Sharing: Participants share experiences and expertise on the topic and learn from each other.
