Triggering Activities for the Online Learning Environment was a videoconference course held form the CFP en Idiomas which took place on the 11th and the 18th of May.

Petrina Moir, expert teacher of English and teacher trainer, guided the 167 participants through the objectives of the course:

1. To provide resources and methodological approaches to promote the acquisition of receptive and productive skills

2. To recall motivational methodological approaches adapted to the circumstances and context of our students.

3. To learn how to effectively integrate technology in the classroom and ultimately reach the students and empower them to be active participants in their own learning

The first session of the course was dedicated to the oral skills: speaking and listening. Petrina Moir explained how to make the best of the tools, introducing new applications and ways to use them.

The content of the second session dealt with reading, writing and assessement, introducing different apps and tools aimed to make students get hold of them in an active way.

Along both sessions the teachers participated very actively in the chat and in the padlets that Petrina opened to share their comments, ideas and resources.

This variety has given the course a wide variety of points of view shared in the chat as the sessions took place and classroom activities designed by them after the course. These are being upladed to the blog of the course along with the speaker's presentations.
