The course is one of the results of the EU-project 'MICaLL'. (also see Dooly, M. (ed.) (2008) Telecollaborative language learning. Moderating intercultural collaboration and language learning. A guidebook to moderating intercultural collaboration online. Bern: Peter Lang.)

This 7-day, international course explores WEB 2.0 applications such as Wiki and Web-logging, real-time communication (Videoconferencing and 3D Virtual Worlds) and the LanguageQuest format for integrating the World Wide Web into classroom teaching.

Besides, the course location in the brand-new building of the Faculty of Education in Utrecht, the Netherlands, allows for demonstration of good practices of and personal training in the use of Interactive Whiteboards. We are proud to have Euline Cutrim Schmid  share her IWB-expertise for a full day .

And, BTW, Euline is also partner in our EU-project application.
