Description of the project

Project implementation start date: September 1, 2022
Planned project completion date: December 12, 2023

As well as educational institutions, our schools were forced to a large extent to online teaching due to the arrival of the pandemic. Today we are in a situation where educators can teach their subject online, in the form of distance learning, using online platforms.

In order to provide quality online education, it is necessary to ensure:

• Prepared and experienced teachers.

• Correct and effective digital tools.

• Content-quality, beneficial situations.

• Distance testing of students.

• Improvement of technical and digital skills of educators.

Cooperation with the Norwegian partner will bring us more freedom in the online space, expansion of practical experience and know-how in the field of digital technologies, best practices in working with digital tools.

The project Interactive digital tools in practical vocational education benefits from a € 167 857  grant from Norway through the Norway Grants. The project has been co-financed from the State Budget of the Slovak Republic in the amount of € 29 621. The aim of the project is to:
