Abstract (english)

Implementation of digital technologies into the educational process is not new but has significantly increased with the pandemic of COVID-19 because of the lockdown and sudden move to the online environment. The majority of teachers
do not have the knowledge and skills to know how to properly implement digital technologies into teaching and learning, and neither they have time to search for digital technologies or to learn how to use them. Therefore, organized support and training in the use of digital technologies are very important, enabling teachers to focus on the course subject and with help of trained support staff find the proper way how to implement them into their teaching. A number of training courses and workshops related to digital education are available to teachers, and one of them that has proven to be of high value is the ABC LD Workshop designed by University College London colleagues. Based on Diane Laurillards’ Conversational Framework, this engaging, hands-on curriculum development workshop enables teachers to get a new perception and understanding of what an e-course could look like. Based on participation in the Erasmus+ project the ABCtoVLE and gained experience, the E-learning Centre at SRCE team adapted this workshop for the Croatian educational environment and later designed it to be held online aiming to provide teachers with handson, just what they need training so they can easier get around the online environment and provide a high-quality learning experience to students.
