2 FOR HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS How to Develop and Combine IT based Teaching & Learning Tools in Practice Higher Education Institutions Under Increasing Pressure to Achieve Academic Excellence Higher education institutions are under increasing pressure to guarantee the highest possible quality of teaching and learning. IT for education has the potential to enhance and support the teaching and learning process. Therefore, higher education institutions need to use innovative new technologies which help boost academic performance. Here, IT staff and elearning Developers are constantly being faced with a variety of problems: elearning often does not penetrate beyond the early adopters and innovators. Barriers at an institutional level seem to delay its smooth adoption. IT staff, teachers and students do not always speak the same language. elearning Developers sometimes fail to exhaust the technical and pedagogical possibilities offered by BYOD (Bring Your Own Device), Moodle, flipped classroom and mobile devices. Difficulties in predicting the success or failure of a student further complicates the already challenging situation. Finally, higher education institutions cannot ignore the MOOC phenomenon and have to decide how to integrate MOOCs into their overall strategy. Towards Academic Excellence by Means of IT This interactive seminar will offer IT staff, elearning Developers and Educational Technologists from European higher education institutions the possibility to network, exchange experience and find solutions for the quality issue in teaching and learning. It will show them how to achieve academic excellence by means of IT and answer the following questions: How to engage educational staff in elearning and translate the technical side of it into a language that enthuses non-technical colleagues. How to establish an ICT Academic Support Centre and organise a (central) IT Service in such a way that it delivers what teachers and students really need. How to create engaging environments for teaching and learning and especially interactive lectures by implementing and combining different tools. How to support students in the process of reaching their goals by means of learning analytics and data mining. How to implement and benefit from MOOCs. Who is this seminar for? Educational Technologists ICT staff E-Learning Developers responsible for increasing academic performance (teaching and learning) by means of ICT in institutions such as: Universities and other Higher Education Institutions Research and Technology Institutes Libraries interested in using new teaching technologies 2
