Project Summary

“ClassLine. Online Classroom for Educationally Impaired Students ”is a Strategic Partnership that aims at to reduce school absenteeism in the partners’ countries amongst students in secondary and upper secondary levels who struggle with mental health issues or cannot attend the school due to chronic diseases (e.g. cancer) or temporary physical disabilities.

To reach their aim, the partners will develop an Online Teaching Platform allowing learners with various challenges obstructing their physical participation in the classroom to continue their education.

The Platform will be developed based on tools and best practices in online pedagogy as to keep the students active and engaged, additionally developing social competences by interaction with their classmates. To start with, the platform will contain the content of classes in Science and English for an entire academic year, based on the national curriculum for G level in Denmark and 7th grade (secondary schools) in Turkey. By the end of the project, the platform will have a content of 618 hours of teaching. The platform will be open to any school in Europe to adopt it in their teaching and upload their pre-made classes. A guide on effective online pedagogy will allow other schools to structure their online classes so to keep their learners engaged and create a sense of community.

By the end of the project, at least 100 learners who are educationally impaired due to mental health challenges, chronic diseases or temporary physical disabilities will have continued their education through the Online Teaching Platform.

Multiplier Events and Dissemination activities are foreseen within the project lifecycle as to promote the use of the Platform outside the partnership so that five years following the end of the project at least 100 schools across Europe offer online teaching through the platform to those students who from various reasons cannot attend the school.

Although, the platform will be developed with learners with mental disorders in mind, it will be applicable to any learner who cannot attend school for a longer or shorter period of time, for example learners challenged with chronic diseases (e.g. cancer) or temporary physical disabilities. The platform will also be a means of providing remote education in case of such situation that require social distancing as for example COVID-19 pandemic that left out of school over 1.5 mln. learners.
