Next, there is a knowledge dissemination at a large part of the team of teachers. On the basis of a intern voucher program, 4 modern European language learning teachers will be recruited and will go in July 2016 with the ICT-O specialist to the Itilt post-graduate "Using Interactive whiteboards in Language Education".This is the application of the new interactive technologic expertise specific to the modern foreign languages. The certified SmartVET/Itilt teachers working through the train-the- trainers concept spread their knowledge to their teams and to the overall organisation. The using of interactive classroom technologies to promote dialogic teaching and learning, combined with the interactive whiteboard knowledge spreads out (through the train-the trainer-principle) in modern foreign language teaching , over the branches of the van Lodenstein College in Amersfoort, Hoevelaken and Kesteren.
