Train the trainers

Description

In vocational education, a considerable number of teachers, educators, trainers and lecturers have difficulties in preparing their teaching content using digital tools and in designing good quality digital formats for conveying their teaching content (e.g. practical applications), despite numerous offers of continuing education.
