At the T4T project event in the Netherlands, an enthusiastic group of educators and education experts came together to learn about the project’s main objectives and results. The event provided detailed insights into the achievements of the project, including the guidelines and practical exercises developed to improve group dynamics in online learning environments.
Participants were unanimously positive about the event and reported a positive experience. They were particularly satisfied with the content presented, with each respondent giving the highest rating for understanding the key objectives and activities of the project. In addition, all participants confirmed that they had learnt about the key outcomes of the project and almost all rated their understanding at the highest level.
The event proved to be very educational as all participants reported that they had improved their knowledge of engaging learners in an online environment. In addition, all participants stated that they learnt new practical digital tools and methods that they can use in their work. Interest in the T4T project was consistently high and all participants expressed their enthusiasm for the project after the event.
Several new and valuable insights were emphasised by the participants. They found the guide and the new, easy-to-use, practical training approaches particularly useful. The individual modules and the feedback and experiences of the participants were also important takeaways. The exercises on creative dynamics in an online environment and the resource library were frequently mentioned as useful. Participants appreciated the tips on improving learner engagement through artistic and creative activities, and many pointed to the benefits of the group exercises for collaboration.
Suggestions for future improvements were minimal, reflecting the success of the event. Participants expressed a desire for more events and training of this type and emphasised the value they see in the current format. One suggestion was to introduce participants at the beginning of the event to facilitate networking.
In conclusion, the T4T project event in the Netherlands was very successful. The participants praised the content, the organisation and the practical applications presented. The event not only achieved its objectives, but also generated a great deal of interest in the T4T project and its tools for improving online education.
