Carla Ruiz from the University of Valencia also focused in her presentation on the need of overcoming technological hurdles in the classroom on the one hand and fostering personal factors and communication skills on the other hand within the blended-learning format of #teaching2030.

Finalising the cBook in Opatija

The Faculty of Tourism and Hospitality Management in Opatija hosted the 2nd interim meeting of the project teaching2030 from 16th to 18th May 2019. Located at the seaside in Istria, the university provided a scenery to present the final versions of the online course in the cBook format. Mutual feedback was given in order to standardise the final implementation. Related to this standardisation, the project team also discussed the working manuals for the iLab, the two-day on-site training for each of the eight modules. The implementation of the online-testing of the cBook, including the questions for the survey, was an essential topic of the project meeting as well. Moreover, dissemination issues were agreed on. The meeting ended with a guided tour through the beautiful center of the old spa town Opatija and a get-together in the evening.
