EVALUATE was a European Policy Experiment project funded by Erasmus+ Key Action 3.
This experimentation evaluated the impact of telecollaborative learning on student-teachers involved in Initial Teacher Education in the participating European countries and regions.
Telecollaboration is also commonly known as Virtual Exchange. It involves engaging trainee teachers involved in Initial Teacher Education in task-based interaction and collaborative exchange. They do this with fellow trainees in other locations through online communication technologies.
The guiding research question for the study was: “Will participation in telecollaborative exchange contribute to the development of competences which future teachers need to teach, collaborate and innovate effectively in a digitalised and cosmopolitan world?”
