ERASMUS+ Digital education: resilient BLENDED learning environments

Digital education: resilient blended learning environments is an online course with a portion as face-to-face. The estimated overall effort corresponds to 3 ECTS (approximately 75 hours total - about 1-2 hours per week).

Target group: Educators.  FOR Educators to discuss resilient education. Join us for a free 10 week online course with 1 week F2F (place TBD ).

Register: CLOSED

Funding: Travel will be subsided through ERASMUS mobility fund.

Target audience: Academic Educators of GIS, Geospatial, Spatial Data Science

Outcomes: Building geospatial education community; professional development; opportunity to redesign a course; opportunity to learn new ways to use technology for teaching.

Background

COVID-19 has led to the rapid transformation and digitalisation of education around the world. Since the pandemic all aspects of education have been affected. Over the past 2 years many education staff have been required to react to the ongoing uncertainties and adapt materials quickly, learn new technologies with little or no time for reflection, upskilling, planning and designing of courses for delivering education in multi-modal learning environments.

We have designed a course that takes a multi-model learning approach. Our goal is to bring together geospatial educators in higher education and provide an opportunity to reflect on education in the past two years, share experiences and learn new skills.  The course has been designed to provide participants with opportunities to reflect on different learning activities and modes of delivery and how this relates to learning from a student perspective. During the course we encourage participants to test new methods and share their experiences. We have balanced activities around synchronous and asynchronous activities. All course activities will be conducted in English.
