• Consortium universities developed virtual mobility (VM) curriculum (modules) for a Master degree (MA) program (field - Education sciences) in a collaborative way by teachers from consortium universities;

• Each partner leads the development of at least 2 modules. In total - a MA study program in Education science composed of 10 modules;

 • The modules are developed using the best experience from the partners’

universities in the field of education, ICT, management and etc. which means that the program is interdisciplinary;

• It can be used as a unique on-line program or used by modules. It could be implemented later by each partner individually or in cooperation with one or two partners.
