SPORT EVENT ORGANIZER: A BLENDED LEARNING COURSE EXPERIENCE
SPORT EVENT ORGANIZER: A BLENDED LEARNING COURSE EXPERIENCE

Summary/Abstract: Sport Event Organizer as a blended learning course was developed during "E-learning for social partners" project. This project aimed to provide the possibility to study online to professional athletes. The project was financed from the Social European Fund and was implemented by the Professional and Amateur Footballers Association (AFAN) in partnership with National Trade Union Block (BNS) and Escola Professional Cristovao Colombo (EPCC) from Portugal. 12 different courses were developed in the project - all of them aiming to facilitate the achievements of AFAN and BNS members - mainly by using an online learning platform. One of the courses promoted into the project was Sport Events Organizer, and I was the tutor. In this role I designed the course architecture, with learning modules in blended learning type - online and face-to-face. The blended organization of the course was imposed by the specifically modules: Sport Event 1. Ideation, 2. Planning, 3. Preparation, 4. Promotion, 5. Coordinating and 6. Evaluation. I considered that the 5th module must be constructed as effectively involving the learners into a specific activity and they must be present and implied. Each online module lasts one week starting on Monday until Friday. On Saturday and Sunday there were no more new assignments. The online learning platform was Moodle type and I used specific online tools: activity guides, learning resources (written materials e-courses, embedded and different reference sources), discussion forums, quizzes, case study, group work, glossary creation. The activity started in November 2012 and was finalised in February 2013.
