E-learning Academy

From 2004 to 2014, CARNET offered the e-learning expert course, the E-learning Academy. This course was developed in collaboration with CARNET and the University of British Columbia in Canada, and 543 participants completed it over 11 years. To elevate this e-learning knowledge and skills course to a higher, university level, CARNET initiated negotiations with the University of Zagreb to launch a university e-learning course. For this reason, the course is no longer offered by CARNET.

Three one-year training courses were developed within the e-learning academy in cooperation with the University of British Columbia.

Each course lasted one academic year, which is two semesters. The first semester was common to all three programs and consisted of three general courses related to e-learning, pedagogy, and teaching technology.

The second semester consisted of specific courses: E-learning Management, E-learning Tutoring, and E-learning Course Design, all of which were held online along with three workshops held in a classroom. For all three programs, there was additional content stored in an e-learning laboratory, a set of resources where participants could try a range of e-learning tools and technologies.
