Project Digital and Online Creativity Education – DOCE
The project
The current crisis linked to the COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the need for modernization and digital transformation of education and training across Europe. While many institutions have adequate resources and considerable knowledge and experience in providing students with effective distance/online teaching and learning, others are not so fortunate.
During this global crisis, educators have had to adapt and learn very quickly—in ‘real time’—how to plan and deliver an engaging and inclusive ‘remote’ curriculum, while helping their students adapt to the enormous change in the way they acquire new knowledge and skills.
The aim of this 18-month project is to advance and strengthen the capacity of teachers in vocational education and training centers to develop and deliver effective, high-quality, and inclusive digital education within the creative sector.
Goals
- Developing accessible digital approaches to provide effective assessment methods.
- Developing teachers’ ICT skills to support both synchronous and asynchronous teaching.
- Developing teacher coaching strategies to enable them to support other colleagues in their organizations.
Activities and methodologies
The focus of the project is to develop teachers’ skills in creating and implementing engaging, effective, and transferable strategies for online, blended, and distance teaching and learning. The project will support teachers in acquiring and developing these skills/knowledge through the organization of training weeks in which they can use accessible online teaching tools and share ideas, digital resources, experiences, and best practices. During the training events/best practice exchange meetings, experts will be on hand to hold masterclasses and share innovative practices.
In addition, the project will also seek to develop the digital pedagogical skills of participating teachers so that they can train other colleagues in their organizations throughout the duration of the project and beyond. The aim of the project is for participating teachers to become “digital champions” for their centers and for their learning to benefit as many teachers as possible, enabling them to provide high-quality online distance/blended learning to their students.
