Project Summary

A basic objective of every educator and every educational institution is to make learning as easy as possible. Unfortunately, there is no way to “implant” knowledge into one’s brain so educators have to use various methods and techniques that can help pupils and students to learn easier. There are various approaches that aim to tackle this problem and we have opted to examine differentiated, individualized, and personalized learning.

The first approach is based on the assumption that the “one-size-fits-all” approach to teaching is wrong. The second approach places more focus on student pacing and in the third approach pupils have an active role in designing lessons and projects while teachers act more as guides than the curators of information and learning experiences.

This project seeks to examine the usefulness of these approaches in practice. Each partner school will design a short course that will employ one of these approaches or a combination of them and will teach the course to pupils and teachers of all schools. At the end of each meeting participating teachers will evaluate the results. Discussions about the methodologies and the techniques as well as useful links about articles, books, and interviews will be posted to the eTwinning project “Making e-Learning Easier with Differentiated, Individualized, and Personalized Learning”.

Of course, the main purpose of this eTwinning project is to examine how these techniques and methods can enhance e-Learning but it will be used by this project also.
During our meetings:
* we are going to examine Project-based learning;
* we are going to see how augmented and Virtual Reality can be combined with Personalized Learning.
* we are going to see how Computational Thinking can be made easier.
* we are going to investigate how mobile technologies can support learning.
* we will examine Computer-aided Learning. In the final meeting, we will see how differentiated, individualized, and personalized learning can help special pupils.

The project aims to create a report where all this experience will be documented while the various activities will be also documented. For example, we will post photos, videos, questionnaires, etc. to our eTwinning project and to our web page.
