4. Planning
• Only one f2f meeting (+ Teams)
• One platform for all interactions
• Updates/meetings on regular basis
• Teams per partner institution to cover
for
• It needs time for "bonding"

5. Implementation: Module 1
FernUniversität in Hagen
• Build on peer learning & collaboration
• Asynchronous & flexible
• Issues: small groups, grading scale,
understanding of tasks

workload, modes of presenting tasks

6. Implementation: Module 2
• (Anadolu University) Teaching and Learning with Digital
Resources (Areas 2&3 of DigCompEdu)
• The module focuses on the implementation of digital resources in
learning environments through guidance, collaboration, and self-
regulated learning.
• Module 2 was implemented in Moodle by putting the interaction
at the forefront of our design, fully asyncronous, built on
discussions.
• Issues: Language barrier
• Food for thought: More web tools can be added in the module as
students like the way they interact via these tools (Padlet etc.)

7. Implementation: Module 3
Universidade Aberta (UAb)
Facilitating and Assessing Learners’ Digital
Competencies
• Follows some key aspects of UAb’s Virtual
Pedagogical Model: focus on the student as a
producer of artifacts and flexibility in work
processes.
• Focus on continuous assessment and the e-
portofolio as an evaluation tool with peer
assessment

9. Evaluation
Current situation:
• Modules 1 and 2 finalized, 3 running
• Evaluation schedule: Pilot 1 evaluated, Pilot 2
analysis ongoing, Pilot 3 evaluation in December 2020
• Evaluation is based on student feedback and teachers'
experiences
• The same student feedback questionnaire in every pilot
