The discovery and spread of COVID-19 has led many governments to take drastic measures to mitigate its impacts on society. All over the world, teachers and students have been forced to migrate the physical learning environment to virtual spaces. Four institutions from Portugal, Austria, Sweden and Türkiye came together to try better understand and find solutions to the biggest challenges teachers face in online teaching with a focus on eTools, eModeration and eAssessment are imperative. In this project we explored the use of these 3 components as a way of fostering the development of innovative learning processes and they covered the following stages: –This project began with a study (PR1) that aimed to outline a state of the art of online practices that occurred during lockdown. –Based on results of the previous study and taking advantage of the added value of the knowledge and experience from the University of Aveiro(PT) and Sucessos Criativos (PT), a blended training was designed for teachers who participate directly in the project. This training was replicated, through short workshops in the schools of origin. –The evaluation of the Training and results of its replication.-Best Practices dissemination-policy recomendation
