ENHANCE workshop on on-line learning and teaching
1 - 2 JULY 2021
1 - 2 JULY 2021
The ENHANCE workshop on on-line learning and teaching is aimed at sharing experiences and lessons learned from the distance learning. Participants will have an opportunity to analyze what went well and wrong, highlight good practices as well as work out conclusions for further actions.
Topics of the workshop will include:
The workshop will consist of three parts:
Coach and lecturer at SU's Design Factory Melbourne (DFM) bringing international and interdisciplinary expertise from Finnish industry and academia. She heads the Capability Engine team, developing and running workshops around innovation culture and processes for organisations in Australia and globally. In her teaching capacity, she specialises in teaching programs combining allied health, design and product development.
International Research & Development Projects Coordinator at Design Factory Melbourne.
He leads the global academic programs with Stanford University’s ME310 Course, SUGAR Network for Global Innovation, the Design Factory Global Network and CERN’s IdeaSquare. As a brand designer & strategist, Aaron has worked across strategy, design, events, R&D and education.
Associate Professor of Architectural Engineering, Head of the International Building and Architectural Engineering Graduate Program at Politecnico di Milano.
Her primary research efforts are focused on the study and development of strategies and innovative technological solutions for the decarbonisation of the building sector, exploiting, in particular, the potential of cross-disciplinary, systems thinking approaches. Due to the long-term challenges of the built environment, she has more recently initiated interdisciplinary collaborations to introduce futures thinking methods to support her research in the field.
Assistant Professor and Head of the Solid State Batteries Group in the Faculty of Physics at Warsaw University of Technology. His research is focused on novel device design and materials development for energy conversion and storage.
Associate Professor who lectures on materials science, ceramics, building sustainability and several scientific topics at Universitat Politécnica de Valencia as well as since 1986. His main research fields are photovoltaic materials, building sustainability, fiber reinforced concrete, performance evaluation and active learning in higher education.
He has been involved in teaching innovation activities including relevant projects in: Flipped teaching, Blended learning, Problem based learning and Transdisciplinary cooperative course development.
The MOOC initiative coordinator at Universitat Politécnica de Valencia. His tasks include incorporating the 2.0 philosophy into the UPV and implementing new Internet tools for teaching, especially network video platforms and MOOCs. As the MOOC initiative coordinator of UPV, that has more than 100 moocs and 3 million enrollments, he has participated in or leaded the creation of 19 of those 100 courses. He also teaches Airport Engineering to 130 students in flipped mode in the Aerospace Engineering Bachelor.
Christian works in Institute of Biotechnology, developing courses for the chair of Bioanalytics. He works on student empowerment via innovative course design driven by student feedback.
„A problem is not a problem – it’s the starting point of the next innovation.“
Associate Professor who lectures on information technology, applications of computer science, computational thinking and computer methods in civil engineering. His research interests span two research areas, namely engineering computations, and e-learning (technology-based learning - TEL), in particular techniques such as the flipped classroom. He has given numerous lectures on e-learning at international conferences. His recent research interests focus on the use of solver tools in optimization.

Networking
The following observations and guidelines can be formulated:
Good teaching is good teaching, regardless of the technology used. Technology can support good teaching, but is not a remedy for poor teaching.
► Online and hybrid teaching makes it possible to substantially increase virtual mobility and thereby the level of internationalisation (internationalisation at home) – the fraction of students/graduates having some international experience. The hybrid model of education is essential for large-scale educational ventures such as those of the ENHANCE Alliance.
► Emergency online learning, typical for the first months of the COVID-19 pandemic, is not a desirable model of education; more advanced methods, combining on-site and online learning (blended solutions) are necessary to exploit the benefits that technology can bring to education.
► With the widening offers of online/hybrid provision and availability of online collaboration tools, alternative pedagogies (challenge/project based learning) and the related alternative methods for assessment of learning outcomes (presentation and “defence” of the project, oral examination instead of the traditional written examinations) should be encouraged.
► With the increasing reliance on digital technologies in education, the development of the digital competencies of both students and staff (teachers and administration) is of key importance and should be supported at the institutional level, but also at the level of the ENHANCE Alliance through dedicated offers of short-term educational activities intended for students and staff.

ENHANCE ALLIANCE
The ENHANCE Alliance consists of 7 leading European technical universities: Berlin University of Technology, RWTH in Aachen, the Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg, the Norwegian University of Science and Technology in Trondheim, the University of Technology in Milan, the University of Technology in Valencia and Warsaw University of Technology.
The Alliance educates a total of 245,000 students at the universities and employs over 41,300 people. Over the past 5 years, 4,400 employees and students of ENHANCE have participated in various exchange programs between universities being part of the Alliance. The partners obtained a total of over 4,050 patents.
The aim of the project is systemic, structural and permanent cooperation between the universities of the Alliance, which will lead to the development of new solutions that go beyond the existing models of cooperation.
The specific objectives adopted by ENHANCE universities include: the introduction of innovative teaching methods on a large scale, facilitating students to choose subjects from the offer of partner universities, creating a system facilitating the mobility of the academic community and reducing bureaucratic barriers.
Universities participating in the project will cooperate with associated partners – enterprises, city offices, student organizations, research networks, foundations and non-profit organizations.
