Objectives[edit | edit source]
The main objective of this project is the development of a collaborative platform and methodology framework for innovation in teaching and learning that not only aims to achieve success in the acquisition of knowledge and competences, but also to break down barriers of geographical, linguistic, temporal and social distances, thus fostering inclusion and international cooperation.
More specifically, the project aims to achieve the following objectives:
- Meet the needs for integration of learning management systems and learning spaces for students and teachers of UNITA alliance institutions and future associated partners, in order to break down geographical, linguistic and temporal barriers and support collaborative digital learning spaces. This will be done by designing and developing an integration platform offering an innovative solution for automatic translation services and geographical distribution of learning content and synchronous or asynchronous monitoring of students in the framework of international cooperations.
- Provide a unified framework to guide teachers through digital and pedagogical transformation in the creation or adaptation of learning resources and activities in order to remove barriers that limit international collaboration in teaching and learning. This framework will provide both a methodology and a technical-pedagogical model aimed at integrating the geographical, multilingual and hybrid dimensions of learning and fostering international collaboration in course construction and delivery.
- Create an international teaching and learning living lab for teachers and students of the UNITA alliance, as well as for the international community, thanks to the co-design and co-production of courses, oriented both to the transfer and multiplication of competences in technical and pedagogical innovation and also in priority subjects of the UNITA alliance (such as cultural heritage, renewable energies, circular economy, among others). The teaching and learning living lab will also allow the development of virtual mobilities between UNITA consortium members as well as other external members and will offer a space for cooperation in pedagogical and digital innovation.
