Hi-TEACH seminar - Rethinking the teaching process in the post-Covid era: sharing experiences with Pilot Users after the testing phase

Friday March, 31, 11.30 am - 1:00 pm
Free participation online via Gmeet

More than 190 nations, all the continents and around 2 billion students have been affected by the effects of the pandemic with a subsequent progressive increase in innovation in the education sector with more people resorting to immersive technologies such as virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) as theyb allow the exploration of digital learning material in new, innovative ways.

Digitizing High Education is not just about going online: it’s a new way of thinking the teaching/training process focusing on 5 main themes:
1 – readiness level for Covid emergency teaching process;
2 – how teachers managed the emergency (where digitization is not synonymous with simplification);
3 – lessons learnt from the pandemic: acceleration in change, lifelong learning, new IT needs;
4 – towards new tools, methods and contents;
5 – towards a new pedagogy approach: time, digital gap, structured thinking, performance.

The seminar will offer the opportunity to discuss these topics considering the concrete experience developed with the students in the classroom.

About Hi-TEACH
HI-TEACH was created in response to the critical issues and impacts of the COVID-19 emergency on education, the most widespread in the history of teaching, which have forced universities in most parts of the world to transfer teaching activities online, giving rise to the largest digitisation experiment ever. The project aims to create an unprecedented training programme for trainers with the purpose of transforming e-learning into a strategic and permanent component of teaching, while fostering the evolution of the teacher towards a 'Hi-Teacher'.
