  The  LAISE  combines  the  methods  of  problem  based  learning  (PBL)  and  blended  learning  to  offer  realis7c  learning  contexts  for  students  in  the  field  of  inclusive  educa7on.  

  A  broad  amount  of  competences  in  the  area  of  SEN  is  developed  as  the  students  are  working  in  collabora7ve  seFngs  with  realis7c  situa7ons  and  materials.  

  On  the  eLearning  plaborm  cases  of  children  with  SEN  in  inclusive  seFngs  are  provided  in  form  of  documents,  descrip7ons,  videos  and  interviews.  Students  take  in  groups  the  role  of  a  school  team  working  with  the  child  and  have  the  task  to  develop  an  individual  educa7onal  plan  and  the  adequate  measures  to  support  the  child  in  school.
