The best way to teach.

Designed to engage students in the learning process through interactive and participatory tasks. Active Learning Activities aim to involve and engage students, by supporting them to actively think, analyze, and discuss certain topics. With Active Learning, they can apply and test the acquired knowledge. Active learning promotes higher-order thinking, critical reasoning, problem-solving, and collaboration.

A widely used framework for the design and development of online and blended courses, often used in the field of distance education and e-learning. Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation are used in order to systematically and cyclically approach to instructional design, allowing for continuous improvement and refinement of instructional materials over time.

Activities are considered asynchronous when they do not require real-time interaction in order to allow students to access learning materials and complete tasks at their own pace and convenience. What characterises asynchronous activities is that they are often self-directed and allow for flexibility in scheduling. Some examples of asynchronous learning activities in blended learning include pre-Recorded lectures or online assignments and assessments. The prior requirement is that the teaching staff should prepare and provide recorded video lectures that students can access and view at their own preferred time and pace; self-paced learning modules are similarly flexible, in the sense that teachers create online learning modules, readings, quizzes, and other materials which students can complete at their own pace and time. The latter is a way of examination, where students can submit assignments, quizzes, or tests electronically without the need for simultaneous participation.

A Blended International Collaboration modality funded by the European Commission within the Erasmus+ Project. 

BIPs are developed and implemented by at least three higher education institutions (HEIs) coming from at least three EU Member States and third countries associated with the Programme (called a blended intensive programme partnership).

An academic modality involving teachers and students from different countries (at least two) engaging in collaborative academic activities that leverage the benefits of both online and in-person engagement. 

Examples of Blended International Collaboration are Blended Intensive Programmes (BIP), Hybrid International Exchanges, Mixed-mode Learning.

Blended learning refers to an instructional approach that combines traditional face-to-face classroom teaching with online learning activities. It is a model that integrates in-person interactions and online resources, creating a flexible and personalized learning environment. In a blended learning setting, students typically engage in both physical classroom sessions and online components, such as virtual lectures, multimedia materials, interactive modules, or discussion boards. The combination of these methods aims to optimise learning outcomes by enhancing the benefits of both in-person and digital learning approaches.

Critical thinking is a kind of thinking in which you question, analyse, interpret, evaluate and make a judgement about what you read, hear, say, or write. The term critical comes from the Greek word kritikos meaning “able to judge or discern”. Good critical thinking is about making reliable judgements based on reliable information.

Applying critical thinking does not mean being negative or focusing on faults. It means being able to clarify your thinking so that you can break down a problem or a piece of information, interpret it and use that interpretation to arrive at an informed decision or judgement (for example designing a bridge, responding to an opinion piece or understanding a political motivation).

People who apply critical thinking consistently are said to have a critical thinking mindset, but no one is born this way. These are attributes which are learnt and improved through practice and application.

It is the short for Developmental Language disorder

It can be considered a neurodevelopmental disorder caused by complex interactions between genes and the environment that change brain development. The causes of the brain differences that lead to DLD are unknown
