Function:
Offer coordinators the opportunity to get more acquainted with the characteristics of e-learning, especially the support and guidance the students need in a virtual mobility course. Provide hands-on experience with a virtual learning environment. By the end of the course you will have gained: (a) personal experience with working in a virtual learning environment; (b) required skills to perform your role in coordinating virtual mobility courses with (even more) success.

Research:
The Virtual Mobility Coordinator Profile research report was prepared within the frameworks of the Ready for Virtual Mobility? project. The aim of the research was to define the VM coordinator profile and to design the VM supervision scheme. While the profile reflects the qualities and competences of the staff involved in VM for providing efficient support to VM students, the supervision scheme describes the roles, functions and responsibilities of VM Coordinators.

Target group: Virtual mobility/Erasmus-coordinators

Course Duration: 15 September - 28 September (with tutorial support)
