Macháč, Jan et al.

Distance learning requires different methods and content. Gradually, we modified the existing activities developed by IREAS in the Wet.Edu project and proceeded to create new ones that could be applied in distance learning. The aim was, ideally, to replace or supplement frontal teaching in distance learning and at the same time motivate students to self-education. This material aims to expand students’ competences in a broader sense than just being able to switch on online learning, e.g., via MS Teams. The result of our efforts is this educational material, which contains a set of activities developed by us and tested together with schools, suitable for use not only in distance learning. Each activity contains a brief description and a more detailed description of how to implement it in distance learning.

The primary objective of the project was to expand the supply of further education by making a pilot training programme aiming at staff dealing practically with the CAN (child abuse and neglect) syndrome, and thus to improve their professional skills and competitiveness. It was a further education course composed based on the needs of each of the four selected target groups, comprising nurses, criminal investigation department officers, crisis centre staff and social workers (Children’s Social and Legal Protection Departments). That is why the study materials and training course structure for each target group were developed by selected experts knowledgeable about the theory of the CAN syndrome as well as the practical aspects of the professional terrain of the target groups.
