Anita's current projects

I am working in these with a wide range of UK and European partners:

ELF - e-learning faciitators
See http://www.elfproject.net
The goal of this EU project is to investigate and training needs of e-facilitators, e-tutors, ... whatever you wish to call them.

Teaching and Learning Templates
A London University Centre for Distance Education project to develop helpful frameworks that can guide teachers towards practical ideas on course design and instructional planning, especially using technology and the media. In due course a page will appear on the Centre's website www.cde.london.ac.uk

e-TRIDEM
See www.e-tridem.net
This EU project is trialling an innovative new method of practising language, where three native speakers of English, Spanish and German work together practising the three languages in a structured online environment. Each member of the threesome practises the two other languages, while also acting as guide-on-the-side about his/her own.

ALL: Autonomous Language Learning
The goal of this EU project is to translate/transpose an existing Spanish blended language teaching programme to 4 minority languages of the EU: Bulgarian, Romanian, Turkish and Lithuanian.

NEMED (NEtwork of Multigrade Education)
See http://www.nemed-network.org/
This is a transnational network about classes in which teachers work with more than one curriculum grade at the same time.

EDORCO: (E-Developing of Oral Competence for Power Engineering Specialists)
The aim of the project is to develop online courses enhancing the oral competence in English and French for vocational communication of power engineering specialists in the European context.

International University Collaboration
This is an internal Institute of Education project to analyse problems and solutions related to international collaboration for course delivery between universities in different countries.
