EMPOWERING TEACHERS

STRATEGIES FOR INTEGRATING B-LEARNING IN IPT

Abstract

The Laboratory of Pedagogical Innovation and Distance Learning (LIED) of the Polytechnic University of Tomar promotes initiatives aimed at encouraging the adoption of active teaching and learning methodologies, as well as information and communication technologies in education. In this context, it has developed teacher training activities and provided a recording studio and support team to help teachers create digital educational content for their curriculum units. The IPT's commitment to making teaching more flexible and using student-centred teaching methods has strengthened the b-learning model, namely by combining face-to-face teaching with MOOC. This paper presents the strategies adopted to implement these MOOC, the impact of which we intend to evaluate during the current four-year period.
