The DAISSy Research Group of the Hellenic Open University (HOU) invites you to participate in the creative redesign of new course content, conducted in the framework of the “Learning Incubator for Project-based Teaching and Training through Research (Learn.Inc)” European project, currently undergoing by DAISSy-HOU, as the Greek partner, which aims at advancing teaching and learning innovation in the partner HEIs in Bulgaria, Greece, Romania and Turkey. This will be achieved through cross-institutional collaboration, knowledge sharing and networking which extends beyond academia.
More specifically, Learn.Inc focuses on fostering creativity and redesigning learning spaces through Challenge-Based Learning (CBL) for graduate-level students (MA and PhDs). Therefore, it will promote innovation in student-centered learning and teaching, with students co-designing flexible and modular e-learning formats that are developed in response to pertinent societal issues.
Within this concept, Learn.Inc seeks to transform the way that University courses are developed and taught, ensuring the course content responds to societal needs and that it encourages active learning, recognizes students’ own research and excellence in the co-design and delivery of teaching. A Knowledge database was developed in the previous stages of the project, containing a list with societal challenges, identified based on the discussions with stakeholders from partner countries and also results of the projects proposed and developed by students with support from project teams.
Currently, the Learn.Inc call is addressed to faculty and students, inviting them to creatively redesign and conceptualize the research and results from the experimentations in the previous steps of the project, in order to develop new course content (short online courses, seminars, workshops) and pilot new learning resources.
Participation is open to all, by completing a respective form, using the following link. Important dates:
- 22 – 25 July 2024: collecting applicants’ proposals
- 26 July 2024: proposal evaluation
- 29 July 2024: final results
The Learn.Inc is a three-year project, co-funded by the European Union, in the framework of the “ERASMUS+/Key Program Action 2 Sector: Partnerships for Cooperation in a field of Higher Education” program. It is implemented by a consortium of five (5) partners from four (4) countries (Bulgaria, Romania, Turkey, Greece) with the DAISSy Research Group of the HOU being the Greek partner, responsible for the implementation of all actions at national level and participating in all project intellectual outputs.
