REASONS: In order to respond to the:- Digital Transformation of Industries (Industry 4.0) which requires DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION OF EDUCATION with overtaking pace, the consortium will develop Concepts of adapting the educational system to the digital generation considering the specific conditions of each of the Central Asian countries;- EU Requirement to give the opportunity for EVERYBODY to learn at ANY time and at ANY place with the help of ANY lecturer, using ANY device – HiEdTec will create Centres for Innovative Education Technologies (IET Centres).- Digital Competence Framework for Citizens & Digital Education Action Plan– HiEdTec will support university lecturers to adopt effective digital teaching methods, open pedagogies & tools. MAIN PROJECT OUTCOMES AND PRODUCTS:- Sustainable academic network for sharing experience and exchange of good practices in the field of IET and didactic models;- 5 Concepts of adapting the education system to the digital generation in line with the specific conditions of each partner country (PC);- 15 IET Centres;- 45 active learning classrooms; - Virtual classrooms;- Handbook of implementing IET in PC HEIs;- Courses for trainers for the acquisition of digital skills and learning methods – 75 trainers trained;- Courses for lecturers for the acquisition of digital skills and learning methods – 600 lecturers trained;- 75 OERs;- 75 PowerPoint presentations of lectures suitable for delivery on an interactive electronic white board; - 5 Cloud-based Virtual Libraries of the digital educational resources.IMPACT:- The project products will be of benefit to all stakeholders in education: • National and university policy-makers in the field of education; • University academics who are trainers / lecturers / learners;- The project will help to turn the partner HEIs into innovative universities and to improve the quality of the trained specialists needed to perform the Digital Transformation of Industries.
Developing a Sustainable academic network for sharing experience and exchange of good practices in the field of IET and didactic models. Developing Concepts of adapting the education system to the digital generation in each PC. Creating IET Centres, active learning classrooms in each PC university. Training lecturers in IET and developing educational resources and Cloud-based Virtual Library.Raise awareness about adapting the education system to the digital generation in PC.
Introducing new technologies in HE of the PCs, namely ICT-based innovative educational technologies and didactic models, lead to raising students' motivation, raising the quality of education and training in the PC Universities and helped to turn the partner HEIs into innovative universities which produce the high quality specialists necessary to perform the Digital Transformation of Industries. New technologies in HE is a national priority for each PC participating in the project.
