Description:
Helpdesk group for E-Learning
Switching to E-Learning. This mission has as objective to maintain the relationship with the students locked down home and reassure them as well as their families about the fate of the courses and the diplomas. Nevertheless, professors were not ready to switch to total distance learning and some were completely not familiar with eLearning platforms and or software.
For this, University of Phayao worked very hard to identify the needs very quickly and to organise distance lectures to professors for eLearning discovering and mastering. A Facebook group (Helpdesk for E-Learning) has been created to ensure un quick interaction with professors. Also, no software was imposed to professors (Moodle, Microsoft Team, social media, etc) to reduce technological constraints or teachers/ students apprehension.
Virtual Workshop
The world of higher education is changing in profound ways and not only in the wake of the COVID-19-related health crisis that is accelerating the digital transition of Higher Education. It is also faced with the challenge of responding to the urgency of climate change and more broadly to the need for learners to develop new and highly specific skills to move towards reaching the 17 Sustainable Development Goals. As such, this silent revolution is underway in higher education institutions worldwide. These fundamental trends are changing not only what should be taught, but also how best to teach it. From the wide range of changes such as active learning, inclusive pedagogies, online and hybrid courses, and green skills, institutions are building on their core strengths while challenging long-held assumptions about how teaching and learning take place. We believe it is important to reflect and exchange on the experiences and challenges that we all face in the volatile international context of Higher Education. This goal of this symposium is to identify ways of ensuring that our students receive the highest possible quality learning experiences. Experts from industry and academia from all over the world will share their experiences and discuss the latest innovations in disruptive learning pathways for fostering success in education.
