EADTU annual conference 2016 - Enhancing European Higher Education: Opportunities and Impact of new Modes of Teaching


Date :  du 19-10-2016 au 21-10-2016

Lieu :  Rome

Organisation :  European Association of Distance Teaching Universities (EADTU)


Programme : 

Over the past years, universities have intensified a deeper transformation of teaching and learning in higher education, based on e-learning and online education. New modes of teaching and learning create new opportunities for enhancing the quality of the learning experience for on campus students, for reaching out to new target groups off campus and for offering freely accessible open education through the internet (OERs, MOOCs). They support the quality, visibility and reputation of the institution.


      European higher education is now also challenged by developments as larger student numbers and yet keeping an excellent quality level; by the growing demand in society for continuing professional education for innovation in businesses; and by the movement for open education. Recently, the refugee crisis has led to an emergency situation that additionally challenges the higher education sector. Many thousands of people have to be successfully integrated or educated for rebuilding their countries, when returning. Generations and possibly countries will be lost, if higher education is not provided for them. Flexible education is an essential part of the solution.

      Higher education can meet these challenges if the systems are resilient enough. Therefore, higher education should be modernised, making use of new technologies.Through new modes of teaching and learning the three complementary areas in higher education are made adaptive to meet the challenges described: (1) blended and online degree education will allow higher quality degree education for larger student groups, who will even belong to smaller communities and enjoy intensive education, linked to research and innovation; (2) flexible continuous education and continuous professional development online, including new types of short learning programmes, will prepare students for innovation and entrepreneurship in business; and (3) online open education through OERs and MOOCs will enrich citizens in order to participate better to society at large.

      The Rome conference will cover following themes:
      - National and institutional policies in the changing pedagogical landscape
      - Empowering universities for excellence in higher education, improving the quality of higher education
      - The modernisation agenda for European universities: education for innovation and entrepreneurship / intrapreneurship
