Τhe project

The COVID-19 emergency has created several issues for professors and students, forcing them to quickly learn the various methods for carrying out distance learning, a skill that is not obvious especially for professors with difficulties in using new multimedia technologies. Considering the current global health situation, it is needed for European Universities to discuss, learn and exchange experiences on adapting teaching activities to new learning situations in order to recover and thrive in a post COVID-19 educational world.

The objectives are to

• support digital transformation plans at all levels of educational online activities;
• support new digital pedagogical methods and expertises in the use of digital tools for teachers (digital integrated learning, advanced multimedia, but also interactive 3D, VR, holographic tools, etc.) and really effective use for students;
• launch a more integrated strategic dialogue with EU Member States to prepare a proposal for a Council Recommendation on the enabling factors for successful digital education by 2022.
