HiEdTec is a structural project involving the Ministries of Higher Education of all Central Asian (CA) countries.
The consortium main aims are to:
- adapt the education system in the PCs to the digital generation through the introduction and effective implementation of ICT-based innovative educational technologies and didactic models in the teaching process;
- enhance the international dimension of education and training through strengthened links between the EU and PCs universities, exchange of expertise and good practices in the areas of digital pedagogies and IET.
The project specific objectives are to:
-
Develop a Sustainable academic network for sharing experience and exchange of good practices in the field of IET and didactic models by August 2019.
The network will initially comprise of project PC universities, but it will be open for other HEIs in the PCs to join at a later stage. It will continue functioning after the official project end, thus contributing to project impact and sustainability improvement. -
Develop Concepts of adapting the education system to the digital generation by December 2019 by taking into consideration the specific conditions of each of the PCs.
The goal of the Concepts is to adapt the educational system to the digital generation by introducing and implementing effectively IET and didactic models in the education process, thus providing an opportunity for EVERYBODY to learn at ANY time and at ANY place with the help of ANY lecturer using ANY end device – computer, laptop, tablet, smart phone, etc. -
Create IET Centres, active learning classrooms, virtual classrooms in all PC HEIs by November 2019. A prerequisite for the development of the Centres is the EU requirement for opening up education through new technologies. The boost of digital technologies in the delivery of high quality teaching suited to the needs of digital learners in the PC institutions requires the opening of suitable learning environments for this purpose, the introduction and piloting of new educational technologies and the training of teaching staff to use them effectively in formal education.
-
Organize courses for trainers and lecturers for the acquisition of digital skills and innovative teaching and learning methods by September 2020.
-
Develop OERs and a Cloud-based virtual library of the digital educational resources by August 2021.
-
Raise awareness of the need to adapt the education system to the digital generation in the PCs institutions and in society at large. All dissemination activities will be directed towards achieving this goal. Special emphasis will be placed on the successful provision of dissemination activities at national level (within the PCs) in order to reach a wide spectrum of audiences and make sure the impact of the project goes beyond the institutions directly involved in it.
