In partnership and through meaningful collaboration we wanted to: Create a clear, sustainable, flexible and robust Learning Path for demonstrating continuous improvement and implementing/managing change. Create a localised platform for managing the change towards Hybrid Classrooms. Develop a Local Learning path in relation to assessing for digital capacity, skills and competences. Ensure greater knowledge and training of teachers regarding setting up and managing Hybrid Classrooms. Embed the DigCompEdu and DigComp 2.0 (common frameworks) in assessements, that will make knowledge sharing and collaboration comparable even though learners are placed in different qualifications levels (EQF). Disseminate information about the project to the widest possible target groups across the globe. Provide Information to a range of stakeholders about the project.
The project was submitted in 2021 after the Corona pandemic. The lockdown highlighted the need to offer citizens with fewer opportunities alternative pedagogical training methods to those already established. During the period of online teaching, some students greatly benefited from being able to participate in safe, familiar surroundings rather than being present in a physical classroom. Furthermore, the project wanted to address the needs of citizens who are not mobile enough to seek education outside of their comfort zone. During the project period, hybrid education also evolved into parallel classes in hybrid settings to expand educational opportunities in rural areas, also focusing on social integration and local campus communities. The aim of the project has been to strengthen the ability of organizations to offer high-quality teaching in Hybrid Classrooms. To succeed, the project has focused on: Enhancing the digital capacity of the organizations Improving digital infrastructure and design of Hybrid Classrooms Enhancing teachers' competencies Addressing students' needs and competencies Additionally, we wanted to address the need to reduce transportation needs and CO2 emissions, contributing to sustainability goals.
