Learning Optimization and Academic Inclusion via Equitativa Distance Teaching and Learning (LoveDistance)
24-30th of November 2020, under the Erasmus Plus CBHE project - Learning Optimization and Academic Inclusion via Equitativa Distance Teaching and Learning (LoveDistance) ToT was conducted by Funiber (Spain) and Technical University of Cluj-Napoca. Due to the pandemic the training took place virtually.
The training covered different topics related to designing and delivering the distance courses, both from an academic and administrative perspective. Project EU partners presented the best cases from their experience of using different technological solutions, tools, apps and systems. As a following step, on the bases of these ToT sessions each partner university should design and pilot courses at their institutions.
