Last but not least, the audience will be invited to consider incorporating some or all of the DBTech EXT VLW content into their higher education (HE), vocational education and training (VET), and/or lifelong learning/training type course curricula. This will come at no cost and no commitment on behalf of the teacher/trainer; the latter is only expected to provide his/her feedback on the pedagogical value and the quality of the E&T content received/used.
