Studying educational technology means…
• Diversity– We use many different teaching and
studying methods and wide range of technological tools and applications
• Collaborative studying– Big part of the studying is
implemented as a group work, face-to-face or on-line
• Internationality– Working together with the LET
programme’s students and other international partners
• Cooperation with local employers– In the Educational Projects course
