This session offers a short overview and review of the OpenU project (Online Pedagogical Resources for European Universities) and its final policy recommendations on national and European priorities for digital higher education, stemming from evidence-based policy dialogues throughout the OpenU project.
Policy-making for digital education has the potential to advance European cooperation, innovation and sustainability within the Higher Education sector. The recommendations cover a variety of topics and aim to open up a discursive space for discussions and the development of new research questions and policy aims.
- Open Educational Resources and Flexible Study Paths
- Inclusive Digital Higher Education
- Micro-credentials
- Evidence-based approaches to innovating Digital Higher Education
- Digital Infrastructures for International Collaboration
