Welcome to the Digital Firefly online courses on entrepreneurial learning in blended learning environments!
We have prepared this site to help teachers understand
what entrepreneurial learning (EL) is and how to implement EL in blended
learning environments (BLE). There are two courses offered. The first,
Entrepreneurial Learning, introduces key concepts relating to the courses and
how we define them, in particular the concepts of entrepreneurial learning and
blended learning environments. The courses have been developed as part of the
Erasmus+ project, Digital Firefly: Digital strategies for sparking
entrepreneurial learning. Click the link to go to the project website and learn
more about Digital Firefly.
Each course consists of three modules. You are free to
go through these modules in whatever sequence you choose. However, we have
arranged them in what we feel is a logical progressive sequence. Each module
includes an introduction on the topic of discussion, relevant readings and a few
learning exercises. Also included are what we call Deeper dives that include
additional voluntary readings for those who want to familiarise themselves with
the more academic aspects of entrepreneurial learning in blended learning
environments. At the end of each course is a short learning assessment to give
you an indication of where you stand regarding your knowledge of EL and BLEs.
The Digital Firefly Teachers' Toolkit <will be linked> is a companion site
to these courses. It includes additional information on tools that are useful
for constructing a blended learning environment and several lesson plans that
you can use to get started.
Any questions or comments regarding this site and the
Digital Firefly courses can be sent by email to Tryggvi Thayer at the
University of Iceland, tbt@hi.is.
We hope that you find the Digital Firefly courses useful!
