“If we talk about learning, it is not only acquisition of knowledge, but also growing as a human being. You can cumulate knowledge by yourself but you need collaboration and interaction to grow in a community.”

She spoke about the good practices in distance teaching and learning, especially in flipped classroom, about online collaboration at TAMK and new activities within the project Academy for Sustainable Future Educators (EduSTA).
