A Curriculum for Integrating Web 2.0 Tools into Hybrid Education

The leader of this output is Gulbenes novada vidusskola. The curriculum will be developed after a thorough State of Art Analysis. All partners will conduct a State of Art Research in their country and Europe. After combining the results, a common report will be delivered. This report will be the scientific basis for curriculum and other project outputs.

We will use the participatory approach in this output. We will discuss, revise and decide the strategy together with the stakeholders. We will prepare a database of the relevant stakeholders and provide them with basic information on the project. After developing a draft curriculum we will discuss it with the stakeholders in workshops and meetings and finalize according to their feedback.

TARGET GROUPS
