Most teachers do not use video tools in a way that contributes to developing conceptual thinking and problem solving skills as relevant work-life competences of the knowledge worker. Europe-wide, there is a need for e-competent teachers in utilizing e-learning with leading digital collaboration solutions. The same holds for pedagogical knowledge of designers in educational technology companies. Video-based e-learning and knowledge building are 21st century approaches; the modernization of European HEIs calls for a workable pedagogy and skilled teachers to take on the up-to-date video-supported collaboration solutions for creative teamwork in online environments. Video-Supported Education Alliance (ViSuAL) is an Alliance of 6 HEIs-Teacher Education (HEIs-TE) and 6 Educational Technology Designers (ETDs) co-creating an evidence-based pedagogical model for Video-Supported Collaborative Learning. The developed solution develops students’ critical thinking and problem solving skills that are important for navigating the increasingly turbulent, knowledge-intensive and entrepreneurial work-life. The model bridges school and practice, which is important for vocational education and training (VET) and teacher-educators (TE). Furthermore, it will encourage video content creation and sharing as a rising work-life competence. The models will be used and taught in TE so that teacher-students become familiar with Video-Supported Collaborative Learning as an educational tool. ViSuAL outputs are transferable, accessible and aiming at a sustainable HEIs-TE&ETDs collaboration:1. Evidence-based hands-on pedagogy to utilize video-supported collaborative learning. (Exploitation: Teacher education; Dissemination: Teachers’ Manual, Hyper-video MOOC, MESH guide etc.)2. Hands-on principles for a sustainable HEIs-TE and ETDs co-creation partnership.3. Pedagogical design principles and workable pedagogy practices for ETDs to enhance use of their products in education.
Objective 1: Provide a workable pedagogy for the use of video supported collaborative learning by a) developing, testing and validating a VSCL pedagogical model and practice; b) integrating in Teacher Education and professionalization.Objective 2: Building a co-creative and constructive collaboration (model) between HEI en EdTech Business by preparing the experiments togetherObjective 3: Providing scientific evidence for effective VSCL and evaluation tools for impact on profes.

Educational Technology (EdTech) business partners, i.e. and Higher Education (HEI) partners worked together in the experiments https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL_jCih-IbtyASQB9Yz4bddojSpGqm_xiV to build a VSCL pedagogical and the Business (BUS) – Higher Education (HEI)collaboration models and the evidence base of it. The collaboration still goes on after the end of the project in collaborative publishing articles about the ViSuAL results and even in a collaborative PhD-project.
