Make MOOCs Count for Higher Education
Date Friday, Dec 7 Time – RoomCheck
This Panel brings together three partners presenting different approaches to make the most out of MOOCs for Higher Education through examination and quality assurance measures. Learn about their common project INTEGRAL+ (Integration and Participation of Refugees in the Context of Digital Teaching and Learning Scenarios), funded by the German Federal Ministry for Education and Research and its methods and tools. You are invited to identify more good practices and innovative solutions - and to contribute to an exchange on the European credit system (ECTS) and opportunities to validate non-formal learning with experts in the field.
