Lesson 1-Technology
• Technical environment has to be reliable– Students and teachers criticise technical problems
in school during the e-learning days. • 1:1-device is desirable, personal notebook• Solution with learning platform and USB stick
is good– 66% of the students asked like the stick and are
happy with the program

Evaluation from studentsI didn‘t like…
Not being together with classmates Too much working individually and not in a group (66% of students predominantly worked by
themselves) Direct help from the teacher is more convenient No concentration at home, too many distractions
Files could not be opened IQon broke down temporarily Too many chat conferences Internet didn’t work
Amount of tasks was too much Tasks were too difficult
Working a long time on the computer

Evaluation from teachers High motivation from students Students helped each other
immensely Increase in school performances Skype group-chat was good fun Timeliness of students in terms
of signing in, sticking to hand in time.
Students found it easier to contact teachers than usually (felt more anonymous)
Different form of communication than normally
Technical problems, especially with IQon
IQon is not a good platform Not all students have access
to the internet or a computer Facebook was distracting
students from their work 3 school subjects were too
much Very time consuming for
teachers (and students) Bad results- copy and paste

Our learning platform
What is annoying?
• Confusing and unclear• awkward setup • slow• Mail via Windows Live
What is missing?
