PDF version The CAT-Course and it’s Modules
Note: The detailed course plan and the application procedure will be published as soon as the course goes on offer.
Organization:
The CAT-course has to be seen as a “menu” consisting of three modules from which certain modules can be chosen “à la carte”. It is organized this way, to meet as direct as possible the needs of the participants.
Each of the modules is organized in form of blended learning with online activities and face to face meetings. The duration for each module is three to five months. Within each of the modules, we use practical examples from the partner countries. Each participant will receive a certificate of attendance..
The teachers interested in participation can apply for a financial support. We will help with this.
In addition, we offer short local, regional and national seminars.
Contents:
Module 1 Criteria for choosing usable Computer Aided Teaching and Learning Materials (CAT) for science teaching and learning
Learning outcomes:
Level 1: The teacher is able to use CAT in a versatile way in his/her teaching according to ready-made descriptions based on specific and oriented on practice criteria (recognition)
Level 2: The teacher is able to apply different criteria on CAT for the use of CAT in versatile ways in his/her teaching based on the criteria (transfer)
Duration: 3 months, blended learning
