and Learning
- Analysis of the situation of rural / island schools in Europe- Development of a pedagogical approach and technological solution- Collaborative development of contents, learning and teaching strategies, training materials- Testing the solution in at least 10 rural & island schools in Europe (Spain, UK, Greece, Italy, Denmark, FYR of Macedonia)- Evaluation and improvement of the proposed approach, tools, strategies.- Dissemination and exploitation of the results and experience.
This project will run from December 2013 to November 2015
Coordinated by:
