Why a glossary?
Due to the fact that the terms related to home and hospital education vary a lot in different contexts and countries, and that in English too there are several different names to refer to similar practices (home tuition, domiciliary learning…) as a basis to ensure an effective communication on the HHE themes, a common glossary is needed.
Therefore the LeHo network developed this one you can find here as a draft. It is till under the reviewing process by LeHo Board of Experts.
