Authoring institution: European Distance and E-learning Network - ReOPEN consortium partner
Aim of the learning programme is to make learners familiarize with the basic techniques of animation creation; understand and explore how animation creation can be used in the classroom to foster learning. The method can be applied for various age groups and in different subject areas.
The course is linked to the formal CPD course for teachers and trainers preparing them for the national pedagogical examination and also for preparation of mentor teachers.
For this CPD course, 1 ECTS is issued. This reflects the learning hours of the course (30 learning hours).
This badge is awarded to the participants of the online course titled “Using Animation Creation as a learning Tool”. Participants of the course got familiar with animation techniques, free softwares which can be used in the classroom and learned about the changed role of the teacher from an instructor to a facilitator.
The digital badge was issued to 5 learners in the first piloting round.
Participants evaluated that the course was very much motivating, it is well adaptable to diverse learner groups, however students struggled with applying the changed role of the teachers, ie. change teaching role to act as a facilitator. They also noted that it was not easy to be an explorer.

Both EDEN and the Teacher Training Centre of the Corvinus University of Budapest aims to contribute to the above described goals by the Animation CPD course.
