The aim of the subject is to adopt knowledge and skills transferring contact, technology- and field-based education in geosciences training to digital. Students will adopt best practices from foreign universities and from mutual experienced-based education within the international teamwork and environment. The subject focuses on transferring "physical-presence" modes of education, which usually inevitably requires physical attendance of teachers and learners, into the virtual/online/digital environment. Students explore and innovate practices in such learning tasks with the use of digital technologies, which will help to maintain the quality of the learning process in Geosciences. Main objectives of the course are to enhance preparedness in e-education in geography-related subjects (Geosciences) and to advance digital competences of students, helping them keep competencies in contact-based training.
