Tot Course at KU Leuven (Belgium) on open educational resources 15-17 october 2019

In the framework of the Erasmus+ PRINTeL project a three-day ToT course on The Development of Open Educational Resources was held between 15-17 October 2019 at the KU Leuven (Belgium). Up to 27 teachers from the universities of PRINTeL Project partner countries – Armenia, Georgia and Belarus –participated in this course.

The ToT course was aimed at introducing the participating teachers to Open Educational Resources (OER) and provided them with insights on what defines them, where to find them and how to use them in your educational practice. This was followed by a workshop with special emphasis on the development of OER and how to integrate them in innovative learning technologies to enhance collaborative and interactive learning. Based on this training and workshop all participants developed a knowledge clip using OER that was then recorded in a professional video studio.

The ToT course was organized at LIMEL (KU Leuven's educational video producer) and taught by experienced professionals like Prof. Van Petegem and Van Keer. A selection of field and multimedia experts completed the programme with their expertise on OER and their development.
