Dear colleague,
We are pleased to invite you to participate in the online workshop “Evaluation Strategies”, which will take place between September 18th and October 15th.
After a first workshop on Active and Participatory Methodologies, which took place last June, this is the second program organized by the Pedagogical Innovation Team of the Ambição Project – a partnership between the Universidade Autónoma de Lisboa (UAL) and ESE João de Deus to respond to needs expressed by teachers from both institutions in the survey carried out last December and January.
This activity will take place in a distance learning teaching regime and mainly involves activities to be carried out in asynchronous mode structured in 4 successive “missions” to be completed in as many weeks and implying the execution of a “deliverable” (e.g. a lesson plan – see below).
These activities are carried out on the e-learning platform of Miles in the Sky, an operator specializing in distance learning and teaching that collaborates with us in the design and implementation of these programs.
We estimate that each mission (1 week) will require a maximum of 5-6 hours of asynchronous individual work. Missions conclude with a 90-minute synchronous Zoom class for presentation and discussion of the “deliverables” and feedback reciprocal between participants. (scheduled time from 5:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. depending on participants' schedules).
This methodology has already been tested in workshop previous and was a remarkable success, as the colleagues who participated in it will be able to testify.
To complete your registration, send an email until September 17th for ctc@autonoma.pt
We count on your participation!
