Each partner was responsible to organize one workshop, to be supported by another eduGI partner. The partners chose different options: one day or 1,5 days, stand-alone-workshops or embedded in another event, e.g., conference. All workshops organized an detailed program in the context of e-Learning and eduGI. The workshops were widely announced to national audience, in some cases additionally to an international audience. The result was three-folded:

  • The feedback of the workshop participants was very positive, i.e. participants were very interested in the business model of exchanging e-Learning courses with international partners.

  • The workshops were attended by less participants than expected – two workshops even had to be cancelled due to a low number of participants. In both cases, the program was very good in terms of international co-chairs, and the workshops were announced widely. We assume two main reasons for the low number of registered participants: a. The duration of 1,5 days instead of one day b. A general overflow of e-Learning events. In the case of the Lisbon workshop, the afternoon session had to be cancelled due to organizational overlap with the conference, where the workshop was embedded.

  • The workshops were announced widely by email, flyers, and websites. Therefore, the eduGI project was disseminated even to non-participants due to the information about the project.
