Colleagues at Cadiz University are collaborating with Universdad Carlos III de Madrid on a research project related to emerging technologies and teachers’ training needs. The survey is part of a broader research project that aims to study the current use of emerging technologies in education as well as teachers’ needs when integrating such technologies in their teaching syllabus.
Since they are interested in reaching a very broad teacher community LinguaCoP members are requested to complete and forward the related questionnaire (3-5 minutes) to colleagues and teachers they are in touch with. Link to access the questionnaire: https://forms.gle/qvMHetEz5rFaLS6r9
