The Curriculum Management and eLearning Department is offereing a number of free eLearning courses for teaching staff in Malta and Gozo during the present scholastic year. Circular CMeLD 250/2009 has been sent to all schools with the list of courses available. There is a variety of courses from very basic computer awareness to more technical or advanced courses.
One of the courses offered is the eTwinning course called: eTwinning: Online Collaborative Projects. This is a blended course consisting of 6 face to face sessions at the eLearning Centre Labs and 2 online sessions using videoconferencing. The main aim of this course is of helping teachers to collaborate with European teachers using innovative methodologies. Apart from dealing with the eTwinning Portal and its tools, this course will also cover working with digital still images and digital videos, digital animations, presentations, free online authoring software and audio and video conferencing.
Many other courses could be useful for those interested in using ICT within their project work, including eTwinning projects.
