The course in Independent Learning Strategies in a Digital Environment is part of a
Blended Intensive Programme (BIP), an initiative of the Erasmus+ programme, which
translates into short intensive courses that use innovative ways of learning and teaching.
The programme is coordinated by ISAL (Higher Institute of Administration and
Languages), in partnership with two European Educational Institutions – Bjelovar
University of Applied Sciences (Croatia) and Sofia University St. Kliment Ohridski
(Bulgaria).
The main objective of the course is to enable higher education students to implement
independent learning strategies in a virtual environment, resorting to digital tools. This
enables students to become autonomous in their learning process and prepares them for
an increasingly global and digital future.
Fifteen students from the partner higher education institutions participate in this
project.
