Hi, Xerte community.

I have been following the development of the Xerte project since 2012. From the very beginning, I have my own software installation and use it in teaching. I also follow work related to the project and beyond. Last year I joined the INOVUP project (www.inovup.si/en/).
As one of the project members I'm asking you a question. One of the activities of the project is the exchange of experience in the field of innovative learning in higher education institutions. The funds are reserved for mentioned activity which should be realised as a one-month visit to a partner institution. I wonder if any of the Xerta community members is ready to participate in the form of my visit to the institution and transfer of knowledge to the Slovenian higher education environment. I am mainly interested in technology and techniques of using ICT, especially Xerte, for educational purposes.

I have thirty years of experience in using ICT in the teaching process and I am a member of a group that takes care of the development of e-materials and works with the e-classroom. I would like to further upgrade the knowledge and pass it on to other teaching staff, which is the purpose of the project.
I look forward to your reply or advice on how to implement my idea. If you need more information, please read attachement or reply to the email below.
Kind regards

I wonder if you could combine a trip to our conference next year (details to come soon) with visits to some of the institutions in Netherlands, Begium, UK?

Julian, thanks for the reply. A conference visit combined with institution visits would be ideal. I have to make my first visit according to project rules in early 2020 and am currently looking for a partner to work with. Once the details of the conference are known, I will try to reconcile the term with another visit that I have to complete by the end of 2020.
