We offer a wide range of material including, tables showing an overview of each course, texts introducing various pedagogical topics, key notes on themes, self-learning activities, teaching material, suggestions for lessons plans as well as background material such as articles or book chapters.
The Research Journal
Different tasks and activities invite participants to go beyond a mere theoretical engagement. We invite participants to reflect on their professional learning and encourage practicing teachers to try out various new approaches in their own lessons. We also introduce practitioner research methods and recommend the use of a research journal to accompany the work on our elewa courses.
Videos & Interviews
Video introductions by the course leaders are supplemented by video interviews with experts from various fields as well as with teachers and sometimes students who talk about their classroom experiences or specific projects. Thus different perspectives on the themes in focus are offered.
Collegial Exchange & Communication
Since learning is also a social process, discussion forums invite collegial exchange and discourse about the topics of e-courses. Moreover, most courses introduce guidelines for online and offline forms of collegial communication and encourage participants to make use of this form of mutual support and enrichment. Participation in these forums offers the chance to reflect on and deepen your individual learning experience.
