Activity Type: Physical Mobility

Duration: 1-week course for professionals from all Erasmus+ eligible countries and all educational levels.

Creating Engaging Learning Experiences With Practical Digital Tools

Digital tools can make learning more collaborative, creative and accessible when they are selected with a clear educational purpose. This course helps educators explore practical online applications and consider how they can support meaningful classroom activities.

Participants will take part in hands-on workshops covering online projects, collaborative planning, interactive presentations, creative writing, storytelling and visual content creation. They will test different tools from the learner's perspective and reflect on their value for teaching.

The course focuses on lightweight and adaptable solutions that promote active participation and effective resource use. Participants will consider accessibility, learner needs, privacy and sustainability when selecting digital platforms.

Educators will also explore how selected AI-supported features can assist with brainstorming, content development and creative experimentation while maintaining human judgement and clear learning objectives.

By the end of the programme, participants will have developed practical digital activities that can be adapted to their own subjects, learner groups and educational environments.
