The main objective of the project was the digital training of teachers in digital pedagogies and the involvement of this community in the construction of a distributed but cohesive network of cooperation for the exchange of good practices and digital transformation. Specific objectives: 1: To reinforce the design and dissemination of flexible teaching practices that take advantage of the resilience of university institutions in different pedagogical scenarios. 2: Offer online training to teachers on flexible digital teaching practices (connected, collaborative, research-based, active and inverted) and the creation of accessible and inclusive content. 3: Strengthen a model of European inter-university cooperation through the creation of a cohesive and distributed university network, in which teachers would position themselves as intermediate connection nodes. Objective 4: To generate added value for the Erasmus+ programme by offering an online training programme in innovative digital methodologies, multilingual (Spanish, French, English, Italian and Portuguese) and based on microlearning techniques (NOOCs).
The COVID-19 crisis imposed social isolation and forced the university education system to adapt to digital and/or blended models. This situation weakened inter-university networks, so the project worked to re-establish connections between European universities, with teachers as the key element in creating a network for the transfer of good digital and flexible teaching practices. The lack of digital training among teaching staff highlighted the difficulties in responding effectively to the crisis, which justified focusing efforts on their training. It was considered that the links between teachers acted as weak ties, fundamental for the acquisition of diverse information, the management of groups and the dissemination of knowledge. The project generated a database of teachers with common interests and used the EPALE platform and built the international network for the transfer of knowledge (ReCoIn-TaD) (https://www.enidteach.eu/recoin-tad/), as collaborative spaces for sharing progress. In addition, it promoted training in flexible and innovative pedagogies through microlearning and NOOC, consolidating a network capable of facing different educational scenarios.
