‘SHARING OPEN EDUCATIONAL PRACTICES USING TECHNOLOGY FOR HIGHER EDUCATION’
(SHOUT4HE).
Research Overview Research Partners
HE teaching skills are best addressed
not within a single university or an
individual country, but rather through
transnational cooperation between
HEIs to develop best practice and
innovation. International collaboration
is particularly crucial in the case of
open educational practices, which we
believe are the key for university
pedagogy to keep pace with an
increasing pervasive and sophisticated
digital era. This is the foundation for
our current Erasmus+ project ‘SHaring
Open educational practices Using
Technology for Higher Education’
(SHOUT4HE). There are five university partners
(Bordeaux, Cardiff, Hasselt,
Limerick, Nice), in four countries
(Belgium, France, Ireland, the UK), all
of whom are involved in HE teacher
education.
Research Objectives
1. develop a Recognition
framework for effective use
of technology in Higher
Education (HE) teaching.
2. design an e-Platform for
sharing open education
practices and resources.
3. create a set of e-
Resources via our Community
of Practice for HE teachers.
Each partner is working with several
local HE teachers covering a wide
variety of disciplinary knowledge and
pedagogical experience with the goal
of recognising, developing and sharing
innovative practice with technologies.
IN THIS ISSUE
Meet the Universities
A brief introduction to each of the five
universities that are contributing to the
research.
The resultant framework, e-platform,
open educational practices, and e-
resources will be freely available and
widely disseminated with the aim of
achieving longer term impact on
individual HE teachers but also more
generally on university teaching and
professional development
programmes.
