Using E-Learning in the classroom

Target group:
This course is intended for anyone with a desire to increase their proficiency in using technology
in the classroom, especially for those educators wishing to learn how to effectively use
e-learning platforms to run online courses. The course content is not limited to teachers of a
specific subject. On the contrary it is open to teachers of all subjects and levels.

Pre-departure:
Trainees will receive a questionnaire, which will provide information on their teaching
background, qualifications, and previous experience with e-learning.

Objectives:
The goals of the course are as follows:
- Provide teachers with practical ideas for how they can incorporate technology into their
existing lessons.
- Familiarize teachers with current Internet trends and how they can be applied in the
creation of an e-lesson.
- Familiarize teachers with the uses and functions of the Moodle platform.
- Allow teachers to create their own controlled test courses on the Moodle platform.
- Provide teachers with the skills and knowledge necessary to create and implement their
own e-learning platform.
- Provide teachers with resources with which they can augment their e-learning content.
- Allow teachers to share ideas and cultural differences with other nationalities from the EU
- Provide teachers with an insight into Czech culture in the historical city of Prague.

Methodology:
This course will be structured into 8 different training modules, each of which covers a different
aspect of using e-learning in either a traditional classroom or an online setting. Coursework will
contain a mix of theoretical and practical knowledge, often allowing the teachers to interact with
the e-learning systems in a hands-on way. They will practice the necessary skills in order to be
able to effectively use their own e-learning systems with their own students.

Conclusion and summarizations

The methodological approach:

Students will be given the theoretical information that they need to effectively create and
impliment their own e-learning solutions. Using this theoretical knowledge, they will then
complete several practical tasks designed to teach them how to properly and effectively use an
e-learning platform. Each module will attempt to incorporate the existing knowledge and
experience of the trainees in an effort to create a helpful learning environment while at the same
time demonstrating the importance of collaboration and shared creation in the e-learning
process. In addition, each trainee will produce a sample e-lesson according to their
backgrounds and needs. The instructor will present information, guide the students through the
practical components, and offer feedback and suggestions.

Learning Outcomes
- Improvement of the level of key competences and IT skills
- Improvement of language skills (the course is held in English)
- strengthened professional profile
- positive and long-lasting effects on the trainees involved
- increased capacity to cooperate on international level
- internationalisation at the level of education
- encouragement of sharing best practices, ideas and materials between colleagues within
the EU
- improved abilities to use innovative and student-centred pedagogical approaches and to
develop appropriate assessment and certification methods, based on learning outcomes
- enhancement of Information and Communication Technologies(ICT) uptake in teaching
and learning, through the support of learning and access to open educational resources (OER)
in the education and training fields
- support to ICT-based teaching and assessment practices
- promotion of the transparency of rights and obligations of users and producers of digitised
content

Follow-up:
Trainees will be given soft and hard copies of all lesson materials, which they can review at their
leisure in addition to presenting them to their colleagues at their own organizations to generate
interest in e-learning. In addition, a mailing list of participants will be created in order to
exchange ideas/experiences.

EACH COURSE WILL BE HELD WITH MINIMUM OF 10 COURSE PARTICIPANTS
