| ☒ | O1.A2. Workshop on interactivity and defining structure, interactive materials for self-learning | 14.5.2021. O1.A2.1 Interactivity workshop and defining the structure of interactive materials for self-learning. For the workshop, the partners prepared a short presentation on a topic that is particularly difficult or less understandable for students, within the scope of the subjects they teach. The partners were each other's teachers, and through a joint discussion, suggestions were made to make it easier for the students to understand the topic they chose to present. RESULTS: Presentations of partners Teachers briefly became students Defined needs of teachers in a partner environment in accordance with the instructions from the workshop |
