12-02, 10:30–11:30 (Europe/Berlin), Virtual Workshop 1
Many institutions are still in the beginning of their digital transformation journey and are facing similar challenges. In this workshop, challenges in the area of internationalization of higher education are discussed and possible approaches are identified using the Nowland-Nextland method. Based on the peer-to-peer strategy consulting of the Hochschulforum Digitalisierung, participants engage in an intensive exchange on strategic issues.
There was a time when our focus was on delivering learning and teaching in face to face environments. Of course, online learning, blended learning and hybrid learning methodologies were used - and the institutions and education professionals that did, are now ahead of the game in terms of strategy and delivery.
However, many institutions are still in the beginning of their digital transformation journey and keen to further develop digital learning strategies.
This is where the Hochschulforum Digitalisierung's free peer-to-peer consultancy comes in (German Forum for Higher Education in the Digital Age, abbreviated: HFD). Since 2017, our team challenges and supports Higher Education leaders to think and do things differently. In a collaborative process, involving experts as "critical friends", the status-quo and hurdles at an institution are analysed and a tailored set of good practices and recommendations to take along on a digital transformation journey are developed.
Bring your challenges to the table (feel free to use this Miro Board in advance) and join our session today to: https://miro.com/app/board/uXjVPYtjZVE=/
Meet with colleagues facing similar issues related to internationalisation and digitalisation (such as internationalisation of curricula, infrastructure, responsibilities and more)
Learn how the HFD's peer-to-peer process works and how you can benefit from it
After a short introduction, we will tackle current challenges in small groups. In this format, you yourselves will take on the role of peers for each other. As an outcome, you will know more about this effective process of building education futures with peers and will have received impulses and insights from colleagues.
