PDFIntroducing Open Classroom 2.0 to teachers through immersive learning

18 November 2009This paper addresses the challenge of engaging teachers in opening up the learning environment through the use of social software and other Web 2.0 tools. Immersive learning seems to be one of the best ways to do it. A joint European project eJump 2.0 involved eight educational institutions from ten countries. As a result of the project, three online courses for teachers were developed and pilot-tested. This paper presens the results of the follow-up survey that was carried out after completion of pilot courses and propose some guidelines for designing similar immersive learning courses for teachers.
