The training “Use of e-learning platforms and open-source multimedia tools in education and digitization” was held on 24-27 April 2023, Skopje/Ohrid, N.Macedonia. For 5 days, the Future Classrooms Leadership project partners were provided with intensive training on the use of e-learning platforms and the inclusion of technological tools in education. The aim was also to create ready-to-use materials and practical ideas to support schools in the field of e-learning. During the first day of activities, the participants focused on discussing the methodology and methods of distance learning.

The agenda was fulfilled with extremely productive, collaborative, and enjoyable activities for the third and the fourth day of Macedonian LTT training (26-27.04.2023). The days were filled with practical workshops on creating online courses and quizzes, as well as multimedia creation using open-source software.
