Introduction

Learning Trends

In this WBT we will take a look at most important and latest trends of (e-)Learning. It will not be limitative, since there are many more subjects to talk about and maybe the subject that are unspoken are very relevant for you.

We are going to try and give you some ideas concerning tools that we have already used in different projects and show you how you can use New technologies in a creative and collaborative way.
The material here does not strain the subject/object which is inexhaustible as new trends and applications appear daily.

But we hope these subjects will give you some ideas and will inspire you for your own eTwinning projects.

If we look at trends in teaching we can look at many different things:

• new pedagogical models;
• new communication models;
• new tools;
• new techniques.

Within this module we will see that many new movements are mixtures of technical, didactical and communication innovations. They all come together...

Are the trends useful?

Do you think that the new trends in teaching and learning will be useful for you and your projects?

	Yes, of course!
	No they are not!
	I am not sure yet.
