FOR HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS

How to Develop and Combine IT based Teaching

& Learning Tools in Practice

Higher Education Institutions Under Increasing Pressure to Achieve

Academic Excellence

Higher education institutions are under increasing pressure to guarantee the highest

possible quality of teaching and learning. IT for education has the potential to enhance

and support the teaching and learning process. Therefore, higher education institutions

need to use innovative new technologies which help boost academic performance. Here,

IT staff and eLearning Developers are constantly being faced with a variety of problems:

eLearning often does not penetrate beyond the early adopters and innovators. Barriers at

an institutional level seem to delay its smooth adoption. IT staff, teachers and students do

not always “speak the same language”. eLearning Developers sometimes fail to exhaust

the technical and pedagogical possibilities offered by BYOD (Bring Your Own Device),

Moodle, flipped classroom and mobile devices. Difficulties in predicting the success or

failure of a student further complicates the already challenging situation. Finally, higher

education institutions cannot ignore the MOOC phenomenon and have to decide how to

integrate MOOCs into their overall strategy.

Towards Academic Excellence by Means of IT

This interactive seminar will offer IT staff, eLearning Developers and Educational

Technologists from European higher education institutions the possibility to network,

exchange experience and find solutions for the quality issue in teaching and learning. It will

show them how to achieve academic excellence by means of IT and answer the following

questions: How to engage educational staff in eLearning and translate the “technical

side” of it into a language that enthuses non-technical colleagues. How to establish an

ICT Academic Support Centre and organise a (central) IT Service in such a way that it

delivers what teachers and students really need. How to create engaging environments for

teaching and learning and especially interactive lectures by implementing and combining

different tools. How to support students in the process of reaching their goals by means

of learning analytics and data mining. How to implement and benefit from MOOCs.
