Online Teaching

Information technology has become part of all teaching, and it offers a lot of tools to develop and diversify teaching. The fast technical development makes it possible to create completely new teaching methods, but keeping up with the development also brings challenges.

Online pedagogy can be used for developing learning environments that support learning, and for creating new didactic action models, e.g. interactive time and place independent teaching and learning.

Online pedagogy supports all forms and areas of teaching, and therefore its development requires continual interaction. We have developed various kinds of online pedagogy solutions in vocational teacher education and in different projects since the 1990’s.
