Paper Abstract:
|
This article aims at reflecting on a training programme organized fully online by pointing out its specificities as well as some difficulties encountered in the framework of its implementation. The distance programme is actually part of the postgraduate degree in Higher Education Pedagogy (Formasup) which is organized at the University of Liège (Belgium) by the LabSET (IFRES) and which focuses on the professional development of teachers in higher education. The encountered difficulties are of four types: technical difficulties, difficulties related to communication, learning and programme requirements. As far as possible, we shall propose clues of regulation to address them. |
