Designing of n online training course
An interactive online course was designed, consisted by the following 3 modules:
-
Addressing climate change and environmental behavior in school classes
-
Overall Health and Nutrition in accordance with sustainability
-
Mediterranean Diet as a healthy pattern for Environment and Humans
to be implemented by students in partner countries so as to achieve our general objectives of the project.
We designed the structure of each module so as to develop our online course by making a research on identifying useful resources and motivating students to express their opinions and ideas on how to implement the course and edit tutorials for IT tools. Then we created our educational material by designing learning scenarios and WebQuests with supporting educational
material. 4 students from each organization acted as test pilots so to adapt changes and finalize the course before its officila launch to the projects' Twinspace on the eTwinning (ESEP platform).
