The conference is complete, unfortunately we cannot accept any more registrations.

With this in-service training our aim is to help teachers to develop state of the art content for elearning in general and for learning environments in particular. We try to achieve this by training teachers to create elearning materials and raising their awareness of elearning in general. TACCLE will help to establish a culture of innovation in the schools in which they work. The training is geared to the needs of the classroom teachers but teacher trainers, ICT support staff and resource centre staff may find it useful too! Pre-registrations for this course will close on September 15th.

Consult our course page for more information. (if you login you will see a pre-registration form on this page).
