THE EUROPEAN SCHOOLNET ACADEMY Jelena Milenkovic – jelena. milenkovic@eun. org

WHY MOOCS? OECD's Teaching and Learning International Survey (TALIS):

THE IDEA BEHIND The European Schoolnet Academy was launched in 2014 in response to the need to scale up professional development opportunities for teachers, so as to help them with the growing number of challenges they face in the classroom. The European Schoolnet Academy therefore primarily offers massive open online courses (MOOCs), which are entirely free of charge and open for anyone to join, with no limit to the number of participants.

OUR PEDAGOGICAL APPROACH A platform to reflect about own practice, share experiences & resources, learn from peers A platform for building a professional community Content is there to stimulate reflection and discussion - not to “deliver teaching” Course instructors (moderators) are there to animate, moderate and curate discussions, resources - not to “instruct” Activities are designed for self-reflection, peer exchanges and production of “useful” course product

SINCE 2014 Over 50 open courses
