The online course is composed by a preliminary phase on “Learning to Teach Online” aimed at support Libyan educators to design their teaching making better use of educational technology, whether fully online or in blended formats, and four online modules related to theoretical knowledge:
- Module 1. New languages and formats of journalism
- Module 2. Cross-media audiences, publics and communities

Using this as a foundation, the participants will elaborate a project work consisting in a lesson (or a draft of lectures series) on one of the subjects presented online.
