UNSATISFACTION

The platform could be more "navigable". Some

times it was very difficult to jump between menus..

THE BEST

The transnational activities.

The organization of the course, very clear and

simple and very multidisciplinary

Dedication and professionalism of organizers.

Contact with other agricultural realities and

solutions. Networking

Great opportunity to visit farms and lots of

information delivered. Meet producers

The fact that it is a b-learning international

course

nice combination of practical and theoretical

lessons

TO IMPROVE

better integration of themes and improve some

field actions.

see how the machines work.

weekly challenges part of summative

evaluation.

duration of the course enlarged, as most

participants have full time job (or several :) )

I found it hard to participate more, specially on

the platform because I had no time.

Visied producers closer to each other - less

travelling by car.

More workshops, transmitted via skype

More virtual meetings, "connecting" the class,

opportunity to ask questions and discuss in real

time;

tests should be improved in order to serve

essentially as a self-assessment tool;

overall satisfaction with the on-line course

interest of contents

usefulness of contents

format and page design

timescale of the modules

support from teachers whenever

asked

examples, links,

exercices, clues for

further study

weekly challenge

1 2 3 4



UNSATISFACTION

weekly challenge required too much availability

sometimes information was badly organized, confusing

and repetitive.

Much content - best option word

THE BEST

high relevance and level of all the contents. Pertinent

and interesting information

Study in flexible regime, 24h a day

The structure of the course, everything well explained

easy to have access to the information.

content of the course was very complete.

facility to find other participants information and

contact!

be able to read the lessons whenever I had time

lots of examples and links to go further


TO IMPROVE

it could be modulated - do modules of

it, and not necessarily the whole course.

more time: all the information given is

very relevant.

Many participants are not used to work

with this kind of platforms, it is not so

easy to create groups to communicate. It

is easier on Facebook or Whatsapp.

The chat is not user friendly .

Lighter and better organised

presentations.

Some contents were repeated, so try to

avoid that

some texts are very regional and the

rules and laws didn't apply for the

other countries



4 Virtual meetings with local stakeholders

1. Production: 2. Processing: 3. Markets: 4. Participants share

results of International

visits with the others



4 Virtual meetings with local stakeholders

UNSATISFACTION

For me, using skype is very difficult due to

technological limitations.

THE BEST

The networking and being able to ask direct

questions to professionals involved..

The opportunity to know and interact with other

students and with the invited stakeholder.

TO IMPROVE

More virtual meetings with producers and virtual

meetings between participants.

Shorter meetings.

Ideally, authors and teachers of each module

should participate.

2 Face-to-face workshops

UNSATISFACTION

Unfortunately, I could not participate, due

to distance of the local of workshops.

I proposed it to be transmitted by skype,

but it wasn’t possible.

THE BEST

It's different when the course is explained

in voice. Things are clearer, and my doubts

are attended at the moment.

The contents were very interesting

TO IMPROVE

The dates of the workshops could be

revealed sooner, in order to be able to

attend (I am from the North of Portugal and

the workshops were in the South ).

Increase interaction between participants.

TO IMPROVE

more time so we can deal with all issues calmly and in depth

difficulties with communication in different languages may not

have allowed many aspects to be shared in detail

participants could have had a better job done before the

workgroup (I speak for myself, I feel I could have prepared better

for the workgroup).
