ICT in Education

ERASMUS+ course

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.

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

Objectives
-

Providing general information about ICT within various classes

Defining ICT usage in education with its benefits, 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 elesson

Pinpointing possible downsides of ICT in education as well as in real life and how to avoid it

Provide teachers with resources and various tools with which they can augment their e-learning
content.

Explaining of usage and giving users tips concerning various ICT tools within, as well as, outside of
classes.

Introducing ways of motivation and creative thinking through ICT for both teachers and students

Introducing and explaining ways of enhanced communication within the teaching and learning process
through ICT

Giving a space for exchange of experiences and good practices among people coming from different
countries who work in the same field

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.

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.
