The BYOD Platform of Video Lessons The project s main result is the European Platform of Video Lessons hosting videos accessible by teachers, students at any time and any place and through any device applying an approach of BYOD (Bring Your Own Device). The digital learning occurs through developing videos with Math contents, based on the specific curricula in the partnership countries. Reference Number: 2021-1-PL01-KA220-SCH-000034458

The BYOD Platform of Video Lessons Teachers/Researchers from all partners organisations have worked on the development of the materials/videos for the E-platform, providing Math problem scenarios for the development of the videos and also have contributed for the development of the methodology and educational approach. Constraints imposed will be regarding the commercial reuse of the material as well as giving appropriate credit and license when reusing the material. Thus, the resources will be released under the Creative Commons Attribution- NonCommercial 4.0 International Licence.

The BYOD Platformcapacity Reference Number: 2021-1-PL01-KA220-SCH-000034458

The BYOD Platformcapacity 1. Allows the registration, open access and remote participation of a large number of participants simultaneously. 2. It can support a large-scale interactive participation combining traditional course materials with audiovisual content and providing user forums that help build a community consisting of learners, instructors, and teaching assistants. 3. Promotes microlearning, as it allows the trainee to show progress efficiently in short timeframes. 4. Supports a learner-centered training model that promotes the creation of this active and stimulating BYOD learning community. Reference Number: 2021-1-PL01-KA220-SCH-000034458

The BYOD Platformcapacity The Learning Platform used for the purposes of the BYOD MOOC is Open edX https://open.edx.org/ List of features: o Open-source learning platform. o Designed for the MOOC world of online and self-paced learning. o Caters nicely to larger-scale audiences. o It has interactive forums and discussion boards. o It works on any device. o It offers interactive content with adaptive video streaming. o It provides intelligent, learner-centric analytics to help instructors understand how learners engage with course material. Reference Number: 2021-1-PL01-KA220-SCH-000034458

The BYOD Platformcapacity Modularity & Microlearning approach o The course is structured in a modular manner and organized in sections (Weeks) and subsections (Lessons). This is inline with microlearning concept. o With microlearning, the content is broken down into bite-sized pieces of learning material. Instead of hour-long lectures, the BYOD course is built up of many bite-sized components, of short videos (max 10 minutes long) and additional materials in downloadable format. the relative new

The BYOD Platformcapacity Communication through bulk emails Communication through bulk emails The BYOD Instructor has the capability to reach all the platform users (learners and/or Staff) through the bulk email functionality.
