Connecting cultures - Distance Learning to build bridges between countries

The demand for Distance Education and eLearning is increasing in higher education as well as in Lifelong Learning. Distance learning makes it possible for students to choose their studies independent from place and time, increasing the students’ motivation and helping to improve the completion rate.The project aims at developing the use of Digital Learning Environments in Distance Learning to connect cultures. Learning modules will be designed with the objective to take care of individual needs and tasks of the student, enhance self discipline and organize themselves in a digital learning environment.In the first year participating teachers got to know the learning environment from a student’s point of view and learned how to use the tools of the learning environment as teachers. Discussion groups were established on the pedagogy in distance learning. In the second year different courses were developed like Youth Culture, Sustainable Development, Greek Mythology and presented by each school. The courses were offered to students of the participating partner schools via the digital learning environment. The courses were integrated in the curriculum of the participating schools. Digital learning makes learning independent from place and time, more attractive and strengthens intercultural education.
