Here you will find information related to course development process during the project period. The course development process will run from September 2024 to August 2025. Testing of the courses is expected in autumn 2025.
As part of the RECALL project’s next phase, we are developing a microcourse in English that will consist of 15 video lectures, one for each thematic topic. Each video, lasting 30-35 minutes, will be produced by the university responsible for the common description of the corresponding topic, with 5 videos each from Hungary, the Czech Republic, and Poland. The videos will be accompanied by presentations, transcripts, and suggestions for e-learning tests. The Hungarian team will handle the preparation of English subtitles, translations into national languages, and the editing of the videos. Additionally, Hungary will provide the e-learning platform where the videos and exercises will be uploaded.
Course development milestones
The course development will proceed in several key phases. By December 15, 2024, the Hungarian team will deliver a Training Development Document outlining the course objectives and structure. Also by December 15, 2024, they will also provide a Training Agenda and technical guidelines. Throughout 2025, the teams from Hungary, the Czech Republic, and Poland will produce raw videos, presentations, and suggestions for e-learning tests, while national student meetings will be held to further refine the course content. The Hungarian team will finalize subtitles, translations, and video editing by May 31, 2025.
Testing and piloting the course
The completed e-learning course will be uploaded by August 30, 2025, and tested during the 3rd International Study Meeting in Wrocław, Poland, in September 2025. Following this, a pilot test with 15 participants from each country (Hungary, Czech Republic, and Poland) will be conducted between October and November 2025. This extensive development process will ensure that the course offers a high-quality, engaging educational experience that aligns with the goals of the RECALL project, contributing to the promotion of Central European history and cultural heritage.
