I am part of a group of researchers from CETAPS (Universidade Nova de Lisboa) and LE@D (Universidade Aberta) who are involved in creating a blended MOOC course which aims to upgrade the assessment literacy of primary English teachers, and investigate the effectiveness of the instructional design features of a blended Massive Open Online Course (bMOOC) to be used in hybrid environments to: 

a) stimulate change in mindsets and classroom practices and 

b) foster a sense of community amongst teachers of English in primary education in Portugal.
