A new European project begins, implemented as part of the Erasmus+ Strategic Partnerships for School Education Programme
Project CAnVASS+ “Content Audio Video mAnagement SyStem Plus”, implemented as part of the Erasmus+ Strategic Partnerships for School Education Programme aims to promote the exchange of good practices related to the continuous learning of teachers to drive educational innovation by improving digital skills.
Project activities will be organised to promote the acquisition of competences that will help to integrate new technology in educational curricula, develop collaborative methodologies and ad hoc educational content that favour active learning, based on problem solving and critical thinking.
The educational objectives of CANVAS+, which address teachers and trainers, includes the experimentation of a multimedia approach to promote:
- the management of digital classes: from ITC to Social Media
- a challenge-based learning approach to make courses more exciting and motivating, as well as fulfilling job market requests
- the personalisation of knowledge through the reinforcement of visual learning styles
- the development of new digital competences.
