Provide practical knowledge for the design, development, and delivery of e-learning courses adapted to different teaching contexts.
Introduce modern digital and interactive tools to enhance student engagement and improve online teaching effectiveness.

Use of interactive tools and adult learning strategies – focusing on tools and pedagogical approaches to foster learner participation and motivation.
Administration and management of Moodle platforms – addressing technical configuration, user management, data security, and system maintenance.
The training also included sessions on the Bologna Process and the European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS).
