Learning Café XCP78
Designing a Collaborative Learning Hub for Open Virtual Mobility
Date Friday, Dec 7 Time – RoomKöpenick II/III
In spite of the social and cultural benefits of mobility for Higher Education, awareness and exploitation of mobility instruments are still not as extensive as anticipated. The aim of this Learning Café led by Ilona Buchem of Beuth University is to collaborate and formulate recommendations for the design of a collaborative Learning Hub for Open Virtual Mobility. Join us for take-aways and insights into subjects including: Virtual Mobility and Open Virtual Mobility; the design of a collaborative Learning Hub and the creation of OERs, MOOCs, Open Credentials and E-Assessments. You will have the chance to contribute to the design with your own recommendations and to network with participants interested in Virtual Mobility and Open Education.
