Project results

The TUNED project will deliver four project results: 1. A pedagogical framework on collaborative and self-regulation learning (SRL) in a blended and online learning (PR1) 2. An innovative short-training course for professors and lectures in HEIs (PR2) 3. A serious game (PR3) 4. Guidelines for the replicability of the TUNED approach in other HEIs (PR4).

The project brings a twofold cascade effect: - From one side to the organizations that could involve
new participants, enlarging the impact of the outcomes - From the other side, providing new tools to the professors in HEIs and teachers’ trainers that will bring a multiplicative impact on the teachers providing a benefit to the students both in academies and schools.
