“The course was very well planned and designed. The lectures were interesting and the activities done in pairs/groups helped and increased learning and, at the same time, kept the lectures interesting and not too long and boring.” “It was a chain of logical components connected to each other that caused my clear vision of the subject. I have already possessed the theory of learning but this course helped me to arrange everything in its places and to construct all the theory in the right way. And now I know how to use it in practice. “I have learned that it quite possible to cope with some learning obstacles using appropriate technological tools. Not that I didn't have such an idea before, but this course showed me some exact strategies” “I also enjoyed our ICT workshops a lot since they were practically-oriented. I think all the workshops were useful.” - Student feedbacks, autumn 2012 |
