Open virtual training for excellence in skills development. A learning experience to promote quality teaching

Abstract

The essay describes the experience of the online training model
for teachers, designed by the Hellenic Open University (HOU) within the REEDUCO project, co-financed by the Erasmus+ Program. The online training
course for teachers aimed to address potential digital skills shortages and
improve the capacities of the educational staff in effectively incorporating
innovative online training approaches and tools. Starting from a brief
review of the European policies on digital transformation, the essay
highlights the main aims of the RE-EDUCO project and its actions, focusing
on the training pilot for teachers and on its learner s centered methodology.
The last part of the paper is dedicated to discuss the results of the course
assessment, the strengths and criticalities that emerged.
