Dear training participant,

Thank you for your interest in the training course provided by the ERASMUS+ project “Free-ED” https://free-ed.eu/ . 

The project seeks to provide an opportunity for teachers to develop their pedagogical in digital competences towards assuring a more efficient and engaging hybrid education.

To get an insight into the content of the course and assess your current, hybrid teaching related skills, please fill in the self-assessment. 

In the context of the present course, the term “hybrid learning” is generally applied to the practice of combining online and in-person learning experiences in schools in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond. Some of the lessons in this course,  however, use the term “hybrid learning” in a more restricted way, to mean a learning process that implies live teaching events that simultaneously combine the presence of on-site and online participants (learners and teachers).

Hybrid learning in educational settings might be the new normal in the coming years when we put together the best of face-to-face and online teaching methods and shift the emphasis from the classroom to a supportive learning environment, wherever this is located.

The answers you provide in the survey will also help us to get a better overview of the learner’s profile and to create further learning content based on the individual needs of the course participants. 

The answers, your name and contact details will be treated as the strictest confidential information and will be converted into numerical form as soon as the forms are received where it is possible. In the data analysis, the data will be anonymised and no contact details will be revealed at any stage of the research or when publishing results. Thus, respondents cannot be identified at any stage of the research. The results of the research will be presented in congresses, seminars and scientific publications. The research follows a high ethical principle, General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), set by European Union. 

If you have any questions related to the questionnaire, please do not hesitate to contact Csilla Lazar from the Spektrum Educational Center Foundation (Romania), leading organisation of the Free-ED consortium.
