International workshop

Welcome

The main aim of the international workshop is to present current research results and good practice examples of blended learning methods, with the emphasis on flipped-classroom approach and using innovative e-learning tools in science and engineering courses in higher education. The event will also serve as a networking and motivational event, which will reveal and showcase the transformative potential of these methods, as well as the challenges and pitfalls of the presented methods and concepts. On the second day the participants will also get training in implementation of FCA method, as well as innovative e-learning tools and LMS systems available.

The event is organised within the project “PolyFlip - Development of a flipped classroom approach for (polymer) engineering study programs with the use of innovative ICT tools”, which aims to build on good practice examples in other disciplines and levels of education, current research findings on this topic and adapt and implement the flipped classroom approach (FCA), to enable and encourage active, student centred and collaborative learning in (Polymer technology) engineering programs. The project is funded within the Erasmus+ programme. You can read more at www.polyflip.eu.

Venue

Conference will be held at the Faculty of Polymer Technology in Slovenj Gradec, Slovenia.

How to get there?

By car:
The easiest way is by car. Slovenj Gradec is located in a beautiful valley in north-east of Slovenia, 120 km from the capital city, Ljubljana. At the highway, Ljubljana-Maribor, take the exit ŽALEC and continue in a direction Velenje, Slovenj Gradec. Drive carefully, also because there is a stationary radar in the centre of Velenje, and police are measuring speed regularly in several places (Paka pri Velenju, Šmartno pri Slovenj Gradcu,…).

By plane:
The transport from the Ljubljana airport (Airport Jože Pučnik) can be booked by GoOpti. The other airports in the vicinity are Zagreb (Croatia) and Graz (Austria) but it might be a bit inconvenient to come to Slovenj Gradec. However, GoOpti is offering transport from those airports as well. If several of you come at approximately the same time we might help to organise transport.

By train
The nearest train station is Velenje. If you get there we will organise the transport to Slovenj Gradec, just let us know in advance.
