I had the chance to share experience with other colleagues and the trainers were well prepared to answer to our questions and to explain us all we need to know to teach in an on line lesson.
I thank all the teachers of the SoS DAD course, I think the course was really good, we had enough time to go through all the issues we had. All the sessions were lively and pleasant, now it’s our turn to implement.
