Digital technologies have transformed the learning ecologies of higher education systems and offer new opportunities to create innovative quality curricula to deal with societal challenges.
Against this scenario, the “INNO-METHODS for quality curricula” conference intends to promote reflection on innovative teaching and quality curricula, share innovative teaching approaches enhanced by digital technologies and build a shared perspective for the T4EU Alliance.
The following topics will thus be explored and discussed:
- What competences does the T4EU Alliance intend to foster in students? Which educational purposes are pursued?
- How can T4EU monitor quality and innovation in innovative curricula?
- What Innovative Curriculum Design methodology can the T4EU Alliance adopt?
- What is the role of HE institutions in boosting the adoption of innovative teaching strategies for a joint educational offer?
- What INNO methods and tools may foster innovation and support the digitalization of educational programmes within the Alliance?
The final workshops will capitalize on the proposed ideas and methods, and engage participants in developing a set of recommendations to promote innovative teaching within the T4EU alliance.
According to the organizers, the Trieste Conference will be an opportunity for mutual exchange and enrichment, thanks to the participation of professors and experts from the whole T4EU Alliance, as well as of international experts. External invited international experts will include Prof. Paul Ashwin from Lancaster University, and Dr. Daniela Casiraghi, member of METID at the Politecnico di Milano. More external experts will be invited.
Two workshops will also be held during the conference: Smart Learning Design and Identification of Common Guidelines to promote Teaching Innovation across the T4EU Alliance. Additionally, a roundtable discussion will be organised on INNO-METHODS from the Alliance – Experiences from T4EU teachers who implemented INNO-methods.
On September 26th, winners of the Innovative Teaching Award will be announced during a dedicated prize-giving ceremony.
