Educational activities to prepare students for participation in hybrid and online learning

When designing and implementing activities for online and hybrid learning, teaching staff can rely on a variety of reliable sources of support and professional materials. National institutions such as CARNET and Srce offer a rich selection of educational guides, tutorials and examples of good practice that are available through their official websites. In these knowledge bases, it is possible to find technical and pedagogical guidelines, as well as current information about new tools and approaches in digital education.

Additional support can be found in open educational resources (OER), which are freely available for download and adaptation. It is also recommended to join communities of practice that operate within institutions or at the national and international levels. By actively participating in these communities, it is possible to exchange experiences, receive mentoring support, and continuously monitor the latest trends and innovations in the field of e-learning.

Examples of activities

One concrete activity can be the creation of a special section within the course in the LMS dedicated to technical and organisational support for students. This section includes links to guides for using the platform, contact information for help, and frequently asked questions (FAQ).

Another recommended activity is to select and share high-quality open educational content (e.g. video lessons, e-manuals or simulations) that expand the thematic scope of the course and allow students to further develop at their own pace.
