Abstract

In this chapter, the goal is to describe the effectiveness of the implementation of the i2Flex in two different courses in the past five consecutive academic years in an attempt to meet more effectively the educational needs of the new educational framework. Starting with the description of the i2Flex methodology in a Greek class and in an online French class, the author presents the instructional (re-)design of the Moodle shell to reflect the new teaching methodology, and the need to evaluate this via an appropriate framework. It is obvious that the goal is to share under the umbrella of best practices how meaningful and efficient the i2Flex is in two different educational frames. At the same time, the use of community of inquiry (CoI) is taken in consideration to evaluate this educational process. Finally, the new role of the teacher, face to face and virtually, is observed to prove the progress of the educational environment.
