In the first meeting, before starting the course, they had to answer the first 2 questions on the Feedback Form:

- What’s your opinion about participating in this study group?

- What are your expectations about this activity? Justify your answer.

All colleagues referred that participating in this study group was important to improve their teacher practices and get to know innovative tools. An important fact was the creation of the learning group, as they felt more comfortable doing the course together with their peers, taking any doubts that might appear and this way they felt safer. It was a great opportunity to learn more about online training and so their expectations were high and they all said they expected to learn more about online training and how to use these platforms. Ana even said she wanted “to stop being afraid to do the online training because there are very interesting courses to take in different areas”.

While doing the activities proposed in the PBL course the participants in the study group had to fill in the Feedback Form with relevant information about the Teacher Academy Course and Platform.
