Methodology & assessment

A pre-course, online questionnaire could be provided to assess pre-knowledge and further align course content and procedures to needs and interests.
Delegates are requested to bring subject book(s) and/or related digital materials (if available) to be used when creating customised materials and activities.

Each day will cover a different aspect of designing and evaluating mobile technologies for teaching and learning. The course activities include demonstrations of useful applications, exemplary materials and teaching practices followed-up with tutor-led presentations and discussions about methodological related topics. Coursework will incorporate delegates existing knowledge and experience and provide a helpful learning environment with a balanced mix of theoretical and practical knowledge. Hands-on activities carried out by participants individually, in pairs and/or small groups include exploring tools, analyzing classroom practices and related lesson activities and creating content to be used in participants’ personal practice.
To provide flexible access to course related tasks and resources at course learning management system (LMS) will be used.

After-course access to the LMS is offered to promote follow-up communication and collaborative learning when exchanging (re)designed local practice experiences and materials.

Assessment
At the end of the week delegates will demo, discuss and assess a (micro) teaching unit for local practice and other teaching & learning materials that they created during the hands-on sessions.
