Project results

Project results are divided in two main groups:

Results 1 and 2 are intellectual in nature and will dominate the project in its first part.

Results 3 and 4 are pedagogical, and will dominate the second part of the project.

RESULT 1

REQUIREMENTS AND IMPACTS ANALYSIS OF DIGITAL EDUCATION INFRASTRUCTER

A set of research instruments to aid in the holistic analysis of requirements and impacts of digital education infrastructure. It will produce tools and methodologies to assess the impact of digital education infrastructure and to aid institutions in mapping their requirements with implementations, as well as guidelines resulting from the project’s first implementation.

RESULT 2

CONSTRUCTION OF A DIGITAL EDUCATION INFRASTRUCTURE BENCHMARKING TOOLKIT

This toolkit will give institutions practical tools to assess their digital education infrastructure strategy, understand potential bottlenecks, and plan their evolution. It will be composed of an open source self-hostable web tool modelled after the HEInnovate self-assessment online tool, and a set of guidelines that can be used by decisionmakers within organisations to aid in the comparison of different digital education infrastructure solutions.

RESULT 3

MICROCREDENTIAL-AWARDING ONLINE COURSE ON THE TOPIC OF IMPACTS AND SUSTAINABILITY OF DIGITAL EDUCATION INFRASTRUCTURE

As Europe reflects on the potential role of micro-credentials as a model of learning, teachers, learners and decision-makers of different backgrounds will find themselves in need to update their own knowledge in terms of digitalisation of education. C-FLEX foresees the design of a course to create a just-in-time, self-tailorable learning space for people of all backgrounds needing to plug competence gaps in their knowledge, be it because they need to select elements of infrastructure, have an entrepreneurial idea, or have a general interest in the topic. The course will initially be targeted at participants in the project’s activities, and will gradually expand its audiences.

PILOTING OF AN INTENSIVE CHALLENGE-BASED COURSE IN DIGITAL EDUCATION INFRASTRUCTURE

The activities of C-FLEX culminate in a pedagogical experience that showcases the project’s vision from its content to its finest process details. With a model that is fully based on green travel, the summer school is designed to be an event with maximum added value, giving learners the chance to see with their own eyes the challenges and opportunities that the transition to digital education brings. It gives learners the opportunity to solve these challenges in an interdisciplinary group setting. The pilot summer school will also be used as a catalyst for partners to establish new exchange agreements for short-term mobility, further expanding the Erasmus+ offering available to all students in participating institutions.
