For three years, the ENID Teach project has been promoting
educational innovation in higher education in Europe.
Coordinated by the UNED, this project has counted with the participation
of an international consortium of prestigious institutions.
Here is the list of partners.
The main objective of ENID Teach has been
the development of a digital training program
and the creation of an international cooperation network,
strengthening flexible and digital
teaching in the European university space.
This program, addressed to university teachers
and focused on digital and flexible methodologies,
remains open and provides tools to
acquire key competences in these areas.
One of its major achievements is the creation of more
than 60 free learning objects available on the web,
with innovative features such as 360-degree videos and
interactive resources in the different languages of the project,
reflecting its inclusive and global approach.
The results of the training program indicate that there has been
a high level of participation of teachers from all over Europe
– 578 university teachers from the European Union, more than
180 from other levels of education within the European Union.
In addition, 60 teachers from institutions outside Europe participated.
The most popular courses reflect teachers'
preference for dynamic and interactive methodologies.
The most popular course was "Gamification and Active Methodologies"
with more than 160 EU university teachers and a total of 267 teachers.
This was followed by "Designing Flexible Learning Programs"
with more than 111 EU academics and 175 teachers.
Analysis of course completion reveals
a high rate of teacher engagement.
More than 400 university teachers in the European
Union completed at least 70% of the content,
passed the final exam and/or participated
in the methodological workshops.
If all levels of education are considered,
this figure rises to more than 526 teachers.
In terms of language of access, 95% of the participants
were trained in Spanish, English or Portuguese.
This reflects the linguistic diversity of the program
and the accessibility of the courses
to a wide range of teachers in Europe.
The project has also been supported by
more than 120 European universities.
Spain leads the institutional representation with 36 universities,
followed by Portugal with 34 and Italy with 25.
In order to evaluate the effectiveness of the program
based on microlearning and flexible digital methodologies,
143 interviews were carried out, exceeding the initial target of 100.
The courses were highly valued for their
structure, content and applicability,
reflecting the interest of university
faculty in innovative strategies.
Participants highlighted the clarity and organization of the courses,
as well as their usefulness in teaching,
although they indicated the need for more
interaction with instructors and other participants
to enhance the collaborative experience.
The flexibility and accessibility of the courses were key factors
in allowing teachers to adapt their training to their schedules.
Strategies such as gamification and active
learning generated high interest and engagement,
although it is suggested to better contextualize
them in the classroom to maximize their impact.
Finally, the results show the need for flexible
and innovative training at university level,
although resistance to digitization persists in certain contexts.
In some countries, for example, there is a lack
of institutional recognition of digital
training, which limits faculty participation.
This underlines the importance of policies that
promote the integration of digital approaches
and value the pedagogical training of teachers.
Regarding the second objective of the project,
the creation and expansion of the International Cooperation
Network for Knowledge Transfer and Digital Learning,
the data indicate that it currently has 578 members,
including teachers, students and professionals
interested in educational innovation.
One of the major achievements of the project has
been the consolidation of this collaborative network
for flexible digital learning in Europe,
promoting the exchange of good pedagogical
practices and knowledge transfer.
The results of this project reflect a
change in European higher education,
with a growing interest in digital and flexible learning.
It is therefore concluded that further
work is needed on the digitization
and digital empowerment of university teaching staff in Europe.
Thank you.
