UESC already houses one pendulum and it has started recently its physics teaching graduate course, where the e-lab project could also be subject of the collaboration. The teachers training program would be crucial for the integration of this tool in the teaching-learning process, maximizing the already existing pendulum infrastructure, by integrating the knowledge in the Physics curricula, or by using it to support students experiments, that will complement the theoretical learning.
UESC will be the leader of the work package 4 (Capacity Building on growing the network). Furthermore, the following tasks will be carried out by the partner:
- Making use of toolkits
- Availability of MOOCs to all the community
- Final Report & Project closing
- Sustainability of the project – Meetings with stakeholders; Crowd funding service implementation
- Creation of Guidelines to the WPA.
