Title: Demystifying micro-credentials: between opportunities, threats, and everyday life
Date: 21st of April, 2021
Abstract:
Microcredentials are high on the policy agenda of the European Commission. Today we see competing definitions of what micro-credentials are and are not. Is it the latest Covid-19 induced fashion or something that has been around for decades? How to assure their quality? What challenges are associated with their recognition? Asking questions is important, even if we may not know all the answers yet.

Title: Microcredentials in Higher Education
Date: 5th of May, 2021
Abstract:
The Irish National Framework of Qualifications (NFQ), established in 2003, facilitates offering small awards/micro-credentials. Irish Higher Education Institutions (HEI) – public and private – have offered programs leading to small awards for a long time and continue to do so. The NFQ sets out award-type descriptors for a range of small qualifications – minor, special purpose, and supplemental – in addition to the traditional major awards e.g. degrees. Quality Assurance is a key feature underpinning the NFQ and central to developing all programs and awards. HEIs have primary responsibility for QA. HEIs are autonomous and have their awarding powers. They develop their own QA policies and procedures aligning with QQI’s Core Statutory Guidelines and the European Standards and Guidelines (ESG). QQI has a legislative responsibility to review HEIs externally every seven years.

Title: The Flipped Classroom Approach
Date: 12th of May, 2021
Abstract:
In this talk, I will introduce the flipped classroom instructional approach and its pedagogical underpinnings. Then, I will present the principles of Game-Based Learning (GBL) and how GBL and the flipped classroom can be combined for engaging students both in online and offline learning environments. Part of this presentation is based on the results of the FLIP2G Erasmus+ Knowledge Alliance (https://flip2g-project.eu/).

Title: Writing More and Better: the Tel Aviv University Academic Writing Initiatives
Date: 19th of May, 2021
Abstract:
As Sir Mark Walport stated: “Science isn’t finished until it’s communicated”. Thus, apprenticing our students to become effective writers as well as excellent scientists is of the essence. Tel Aviv University deploys several strategies toward this aim. In 2010, our division (The Division of Languages) started a multifaceted program offering academic/scientific writing courses for Ph.D. students in selected faculties which has expanded to almost all faculties to date, as well as discipline-based writing courses for masters and undergraduate students. To reach an even larger audience, we recently designed and developed a new online academic writing reference course for all graduate and post-graduate populations, in conjunction with our Center for Language Excellence (CLE) which provides individualized support to help students with all their writing and communication needs. Taking advantage of the university’s move toward internationalization which, among other changes, requires undergraduate students to take 1-2 content courses in English, our division provides support for students as well as the faculty who need to give their content courses in English for the first time. By implementing this integrative holistic approach, we hope that the strategies and tools we provide will help students and faculty gain international recognition in professional journals and conferences, and become more effective science communicators.

Title: Project-Based learning
Date: 30th of June, 2021
Abstract:
Project-Based Learning (PBL) is a unique learning method in which students develop skills and knowledge by working on authentic, challenging, and engaging projects. The definition of PBL varies to some degree among educators. Buck Institute of Education developed Gold Standards to help educators implement effective PBL practices. Gold Standard PBL consists of the following elements; forming a challenging open-ended problem or question, having sustained inquiry and authenticity, students having an input/ownership, attainment of thoughtful reflection, analyzing and revising, and having a public product. Gold Standard PBL has been proven to link the gap between theory and real-world problems.
I have implemented project-based learning at York College of Pennsylvania in freshman-level engineering design and senior-level thermal system design classes. Collaboration with the local community and industry partners helped provide various interesting real-world applications. Examples of these projects include a little free library project with a local high school, an interactive Ram pump museum display for the York Agricultural and Industrial Museum, and the cooling system design for injection molding machines.
In PBL, students ideally work in ineffective team environments where every member is valued equally. In this talk, we will discuss various tools and strategies that can help improve team effectiveness and promote inclusion when implementing PBL.
