Blended learning refers to any educational activity that combines traditional classroom (offline) teaching with online teaching and activities. The traditional classroom content and the online content must overlap to some extent, and must compliment and scaffold each other, for the learning to be blended. A blended learning activity that is well-designed can combine all the benefits of the traditional classroom (conversation and interaction) with the benefits of the online classroom (mobility and flexibility).

Pre-arrival activities, Impact evaluation and Follow up
Before their arrival, all the participants will be requested to complete a short evaluation questionnaire in relation to their competencies in the course topics. They will be requested to complete a similar questionnaire three months later to assess the impact of the skills acquired in the course (e.g. any feedback from their students, their colleagues or other partners or teachers that they have involved by applying the new practices they have acquired).
Our course trainers will act as mentors to all the participants in our course in order to support them in their new professional prospects in the area of training and education.
