June-November 2012. Hosted by Roy Pea, H-STAR
My research focuses on the development of pedagogical models for educational use of ICT’s and on-line learning. During this visit at H-STAR, which is a part of “TravEd – Research and Development of Traveling Services through Mobile Education” project, the main objective is to develop pedagogical models appropriate especially for decentralized tourism education in resorts. We examine mobile technologies and mobile social media applications that may enhance teaching and learning processes outside classrooms. In addition to exploring the possibilities of flexible learning our focus is on new work solutions in the resorts.
