This document provides guidelines for using learning tools and setting up an online course on a website for the IENE7 project. It outlines how a MOOC will be structured with modules covering curriculum units. Learning activities for each topic will include presentations, videos, readings and discussion forums. Partners will identify online resources and create learning tools in PowerPoint with information, videos and quizzes. The tools will be translated and uploaded to the project website and SlideShare channel. Evaluation tools will assess participants. The resources will be used to set up the MOOC and online course for the project.

CourseSites https://www.coursesites.com
CourseSites is powered by the latest Blackboard
Learn technology, along with aspects of
Blackboard Mobile, Blackboard Collaborate
and Blackboard Connect. The majority of
powerful core features of these technologies are
available at no cost to use by individual teachers
and students at all levels but supports
collaboration to co-teach a course, simply using
the Course Invitation tool to send an invitation to

3. THE MOOC STRUCTURE
The course will have Modules based on
the four curriculum units, as well as a
start-up module about technology and
learning environment orientation
activities and , at the end , a module
dedicated to the final assessment and
evaluation of the course.
Each Module will contain:
- learning outputs: a short
description about what the
participants will know or will be
able to do after taking these
activities;
- a learning activity dedicated for
each topic, based on the learning
tools created;
- at least a synthesis activity ,
based on the study case, a story
about good practice experience
, which may refer to many
issues of this module or other
modules or topics;
- one evaluation activity (a quiz,
based on the information
contained in the learning tools).

Partners will collect training/learning/evaluation materials in
CC license or develop content themselves other materials
relating to the proposed modules and topics:
6. INTERNET MAPPING
The resources will be groupped by the Modules and topics.
For each topic, will be a leading organization.
The leading organization will conduct mapping exercises to find relevant
training/learning/evaluation materials in CC license and other materials relating to the topic,
on Internet, such as text, files, audio, video, quiz, recommended links etc. – mainly
For each Topic , will be created a List of the learning/training resources, containing : the
name of the resources , a short description, the type/form of presentation, language, link to
the address where can be accessed and circulate to the partners;(Annex 1)
Each partner will will identify relevant resources in their languages and send to the leading
organizations to add to the list;
The final Lists in all partners’ languages will be uploaded on the website (on the OER
section).
