Introduction
Blackboards, chalks, sponges, tables, desks, chairs, bells, classrooms used to be synonymous with education. Not anymore. The recent pandemic exposed the low digital readiness of most educational systems. VET educators need to have digital competences to lead their classes in physical but also in online environments.
The purpose of this course is to facilitate the acquisition of basic digital skills that can empower educators to provide 21st century skills taking into account technological, and pedagogical aspects.
The course is designed to support the development of e-learning skills of VET educators and increasing their digital readiness and contains the following modules:
Microsoft Word Basics for Teaching
