DigiTeL Pro Multiplier Event
DigiTeL Pro Multiplier Event
Thursday 26th January 2023
15.00 – 19:00 CET
Goal:
This DigiTel Pro partnership brings together advanced “schools” in research, innovation, and good practice in synchronous hybrid (KU Leuven), blended learning (TU Delft), and online and distance learning (Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (UOC), Open Universiteit (OUNL), UNINETTUNO).
The event will provide you with state-of-the-art expertise of the three formats of education: Synchronous Hybrid, Blended and Online Education. It will introduce the course packages for internal professional development in the universities. The three formats serve course and curriculum developers, all those who support teaching staff and learners, and leaders who direct these processes in higher education. Relevant post-Corona issues are addressed, e.g. active learning, interaction and collaborative learning, inclusiveness, and assessment and feedback.
Experts of the DigiTel Pro partnership share:
- Insights into how theoretical design formats can support course and curriculum development in your institution;
- Good practices in their respective universities;
- Opportunities to discuss how to apply models and guidelines for digital education in practice.
