Distance modular program “Professional Development in Distance Education”

The wave of distance learning has finally reached your institution, and you are facing the choice:

• Option 1. You can buy the existing web-courses from other educational institutions or trainings from consulting firms. You don’t trust the quality -
• Option 2. You can place an order for us to develop and adapt your courses and a whole program for distance learning. You don’t have experience in teaching through the Internet -
• Option 3. You can develop web-courses or a distance program yourselves and, at the same time, work on the web-learning platform sharing its cost with other organizations (see more at Course Incubator)

If the last option satisfies your interest the most, then our program “Professional Development in Distance Education” is for you!
