 Welcome to the MOOC Open E-Tuning, Project Based Learning and the Community for Schools in Europe. My name is Victor Perth Rubio and I am coordinator of this course. Project Based Learning is well known to be a hugely engaging and impactful pedagogical method, but many teachers are often in so-how to implement it in practice. E-Tuning, the Community for Schools in Europe, provides an excellent framework to get started with Project Based Learning in cooperation with classrooms across Europe. This course is based on the content of the Open E-Tuning course previously created by the Spanish Ministry of Education. The team behind us in our course supports the redesign of the course for the teacher academy and you will meet them during this course. I hope you enjoy it. I'll leave you with Carlos Medina from the Spanish Center says who will explain you more about it. This course tries to help you to know and understand all the possibilities that the E-Tuning platform offers so you can design a quality E-Tuning project. Along the course we will focus on basic concepts for E-Tuning. We will drive through the life cycle of a project from the starting point to a ready-to-go quality design, highlighting the main points of the cycle, including some principles about project based learning and collaborative work, as well as the pedagogical use of ICT tools. We will also focus on the social aspect of E-Tuning, not only as a platform to develop educative projects, but also as a meeting point for teachers, an environment to share ideas and participate in different professional development activities. In the next weeks we will get familiar with the dynamics of the course and we'll start designing our personal learning environment for E-Tuning. We will also reproduce the design process of a project starting out from our own teaching needs, some good practices, and the E-Tuning quality criteria. We will also work on the design of collaborative activities integrated in a project and some highly useful ICT tools. No doubt that E-Tuning platform is one of our musts. We will manage the E-Tuning life where you will be able to search for partners, for future projects, take part in professional development events or participate in groups. We will also visit the Twin Space, the workplace which you can use with your students. The MOOC poses a dynamic activity plan with a social focus which fosters a collaborative and peer-to-peer learning. At the end you will get your own digital batch, which can be found in your own portfolio and will give evidence of the competencies acquired and the goals achieved along this course. A MOOC is open to the online community. For this reason we will use digital environments like Twitter or Facebook. A news bulletin will also be sent to the participants every week. We will all learn, debate and develop our ideas together. Let's open our classrooms and let E-Tuning come in.
