Training effective peer educators by means of virtual mobility : a preliminary proposal

Abstract

In the course, we have tried to integrate the backgrounds and competencies we mentioned in the introduction. The course is an example not only of blended learning methodologies but also, and mostly maybe, of blended perspectives (theoretical, technical, psychological) combined within a virtual environment that should properly match undergraduates’ communication and learning habits, whose typical setting is the cyberspace. In sum, our course mirrors the process of its design, a development that required the harmonization of a complex intertwining of experiences and that represents an achievement, which will hopefully stand the test of the actual implementation and of the participants’ feedback.
