What is this repository?

This repository includes resources to guide the design and development of virtual or blended international collaborative activities in Higher Education. The resources were developed within the INVITE Erasmus+ Project. 

How is this repository organized? 

This repository has a modular structure, and it is organized into nine sections. 

In the Information section, you will find all general information about the repository. 

In the Key Terms and Concepts section, you will find a glossary with the definitions of key terms and resources about the main frameworks used during the module. 

In the Preparation section, you can start thinking about a possible activity to develop or your role in developing international collaboration. 

In the following course sections, you will go through the 5 phases of the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation). 

In the Certification section, you will find an evaluation form and the link to register for the INVITE training module if you want to participate and receive the certification.

How are the sections organised?

In each section, we suggest that you start with the introduction presentation. It introduces the section's topic and outlines the key points of the process of creating a virtual or blended international collaboration activity. 

Then, one or more slideshows focus on particular aspects of each phase. You can read them to gain a deeper understanding of these topics. The slideshows include some reflection prompts. 

The additional resources delve into some particular aspects that emerge in the slides. 

The examples and case studies develop two examples of activities, one from a BIP and one from a COIL, phase by phase, applying the theory previously shown. They are very interesting as applications of the theoretical aspects.
