The project aimed to achieve transformative progress in higher education by developing, implementing, and disseminating a flexible and collaborative teacher training framework grounded in Problem- and Project-Based Learning (PBL). The main objectives were: To identify and collect best practices in teacher training across diverse European contexts, providing an evidence base for innovative educational development. To design a descriptive PBL framework empowering teachers to adopt digital, active, and student-centred learning, with built-in flexibility for content, duration, and delivery mode. To produce and openly share high-quality training materials and digital resources, broadening access to professional development and promoting sustainable educational innovation at local, national, and European levels.
The project aimed to equip higher education teachers with skills, support, and resources to adopt active, digitally enhanced learning. Higher Education institutions show fragmented, underdeveloped teacher training, lacking structured frameworks for innovation, and facing barriers like digital skill gaps, limited resources, insufficient training, and resistance to change. Digital transformation increased demand for flexible teaching, exposing gaps in teachers' ability to implement student-centred, tech-enhanced learning. Faculty and students needed practical, hands-on training for reflective teaching, collaboration, and engagement. The project addressed three key needs.: Establishing an evidence-based culture for teaching innovation and professional development, including research-informed frameworks and shared best practices. Advancing digital enhancement for active learning in higher education, providing tools and training that empower teachers to blend face-to-face, hybrid, and online methods effectively. Strengthening and sustaining teacher training initiatives through open-access resources and multi-institutional collaboration, ensuring adaptability, inclusivity, and long-term impact.
