EUA has taken the decision to hold this year’s European Learning & Teaching Forum as an online event. Staff at the University of Deusto and EUA had been looking forward to an opportunity to meet in person and connect with both old and new colleagues and acquaintances; however, in view of the current situation and to ensure the safety of everybody involved, it was ultimately decided to offer plenary and breakout sessions as well as networking opportunities in an online format instead.

The European Learning & Teaching Forum is an EUA event that provides an opportunity for participants to meet and discuss developments in learning and teaching at European universities. The Forum builds on EUA’s work with its member universities on this topic. Alongside the bottom-up approach, the Forum makes use of EUA’s extensive policy work in European higher education. The Forum is an ideal event for vice-rectors for academic affairs, deans, and management involved in learning and teaching. It also welcomes students, policy-makers and other stakeholders in higher education.

While the Covid-19 pandemic has posed considerable challenges to the higher education sector, it has also resulted in an innovation drive, with many universities rethinking the methods and formats that work best for their learners. In reflecting about the future, many questions remain: Looking beyond the trend of the moment, how can new technologies really enhance learning and teaching? How can digitalisation be embedded in a university’s culture in a way that serves the institution’s strategic objectives? How can the potential of digitalisation be harnessed to increase equity of access to learning? What will the implications be for internationalisation? These and many other questions will be at the heart of the event.

Through a mix of plenary and parallel sessions, the Forum provides a platform for discussion on how universities enhance learning and teaching through digital means, while also presenting the work of the 2021 EUA Learning & Teaching Thematic Peer Groups...ver mais

​Giving Students Real-World Experience Through Simulations: Road-Tested Lessons and Advice

12:00 p.m. – 1:00 p.m. EDT, January 20, 2022
If you are interested, please register as we will provide all registrants with access to the webinar recording.
When students are fully engaged, they retain more and are better prepared to apply their learning elsewhere. Simulations are a powerful tool for student engagement—they give educators the power to increase student success through an immersive learning experience. In this webinar, Lucy Swedberg, Executive Editor and Senior Editorial Director at Harvard Business Publishing, will lead a conversation with Dr. Lilian Ajayi-Ore, an award-winning marketing professional and experienced educator about how she uses simulations to help students apply key learnings, obtain new skills, and develop the leadership skills that prepare them for the real world.

In this webinar, you will explore:

    How to incorporate simulations into your coursework
    How to improve students’ learning and real-world preparedness through simulation technology
    How to expand students’ engagement with simulations
    How to enhance your experiential learning strategy and get more comfortable teaching with simulations...ver mais
