The courses will be prepared for blended learning, material needed to be experimented in labs will be covered in manuals (i.e., D 5.1). Theoretical material will be prepared in both hardcopy and softcopy format. Each partner will utilize their institution e-learning platform to achieve the required levels of blended learning. Such that instructors and trainers will be able to construct online courses, upload training material, announce class events, make online tests, and preview and score students deliverables. Similarly, students and trainees will be able to find soft copies of course plan, course resources, and training material. Upload deliverables, make online tests and exams, and preview feedback from their instructors.
• A joint workshop will be conducted within this WP for professors to agree on the teaching methods, assessment procedures and delivery methods so that a consistent quality is achieved among partners.
• The next activity within this WP will be the courses piloting which will start by (M21).

• Quality assurance (QA) is a powerful tool to improve the effectiveness of the Its key principle is to let main actors in education such as staff and students be responsible for improving educational performance. A Quality Assurance and Evaluation Plan will be elaborated by the Quality Committee, that will be established during the Kick-Off meeting.
• The plan will investigate the quality standards of the different partner universities and standardize them in a shared The detailed plan will be a reference to manage the project effectively and to assess the performance. Quality control for all work packages will be applied. Evaluation surveys will be developed within this work package to guarantee a high level of quality at the different universities.
• The quality assurance plan uses an Agile approach to quality assurance related to providing acceptance criteria and specifications for all project The key end user outputs for each work package in the project are assessed through the production of a quality checklist (i.e. Quality Criteria Checklists, Dissemination WP Checklist, Social Science Checklist, Training and meetings evaluation checklist, Lab Design checklist) of suitable acceptance criteria overseen and verified.
• Impact Evaluation Reporting is a part of WP7 related to the impact evaluation of all training and teaching Impact Evaluation Surveys using Kirkpatrick’s four- step model will be implemented to gather evidence from participants of the project training and evaluate its effectiveness on their teaching practices. External Evaluator (EE) will be responsible to provide constant and independent information about the development and implementation of project’ activities.
• The EE has to provide updated and independent evaluations about the realisation of tasks and the achievement of aims to the Project Coordinator and the steering committee members.
