Trainings & Publication on Enhancing Digital Education in the Mediterranean

4-5 November 2024, Online – Leading the digital transformation in Higher Education: models, leadership, and quality assurance

Digital transformation in higher education, digital ecosystems, eLearning and technology-enhanced learning have become increasingly prevalent concepts and needs in recent years. Governments and Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) have been compelled to address their digital transformation in a variety of ways and develop more flexible teaching methods, while maintaining the quality of their educational processes. Such transformation is essential for meeting the needs of highly digitalised societies and the labour market.

To assist HEIs in their digital transformation, the Union for the Mediterranean (UfM) and the Open University of Catalonia (UOC) are offering a series of two training workshops and a publication for senior academic leaders, management, and teaching staff in the Mediterranean region.

The first training block, which took place on the 4 and 5 November, was 6.5 hours long over two days and delivered in a webinar format for ease of follow-up. The second training block will be held on 2 and 3 December, and the publication by the mid-December.

The first training block is entitled Leading the digital transformation in Higher Education: models, leadership, and quality assurance. A course for academic leaders, managers and teaching staff. It focused on leading the digital transformation in higher education, exploring models, leadership, and quality assurance, and it is designed for academic leaders, managers and teaching staff.

Presentation and videos of the First Block

The training’s Presentations and Videos of the First Block are already available, as well as the Programme and Registration of the Second Block (2-3 December).
