First year report

In the first year of our Project, we shared the information like; the country where we live , the institution where we work , technical facilities. We implemented the blog, http://codeoflearningcomeniusproject.blogspot.com/, to publish the facilities we will perform. We have set the aims and objectives for the activities which we will perform during the Project. We decided the base of the program by which we wil assess our students and the content and the outlook of the report which will be given at the end of the two activities.

We didn’t have any problems during our work. We had a strong and continuous communication via inernet and technology.
