EDUHACK – Hacking Education by improving open e-learning teacher competencies

Project objectives

The EduHack.eu project will offer capacity building opportunities – made of an online component plus an eduhackaton at each participating university – specifically aimed at early career HE educators wishing to adopt innovative practices into their teaching and enhance their digital competence.

Participants in this capacity building programme for university educators will learn how to produce digitally-supported learning experiences and will have the opportunity to experiment with innovative models and approaches to teaching and learning; with a focus on fostering collaborative learning and enhanced student engagement.

Project impact

By bringing elements from the so-called digital and participatory cultures into the classroom, educators will be able to adapt their practice to the media and information ecosystems that define contemporary networked societies.

The programme will include an online course , followed by an eduHackaton hosted by each of the participating universities: Coventry University, Politecnico di Torino and UNIR.

• Develop a 3-day intensive OIL course for capacity building in eLearning, OER and MOOC creation.
• Organise 3 instances of these hackathons around Europe
• Set up a European open resource database and network to promote the reproduction of these events by other institutions.
