How are Innovation skills learned in online and hybrid education?
Webinar – Introducing materials and assessment tools for teachers & researchers created by the SINCOE project
The current working life expects higher education graduates to develop innovation competencies, no matter what subject they have studied. This means that the students should learn how to come up with new ideas, improve existing processes, and adapt to changes. By developing these skills, students can add value to their future workplaces and make a positive impact on the world around them.
But how can these skills be taught, especially in online and hybrid education? In the Erasmus+ funded SINCOE project, we have collaborated to apply innovation pedagogy in online, blended, and distance learning. As a result of the project, we have created materials useful for all teachers working in online education: an assessment tool, a training package, and a toolbox to help develop innovation competencies. All these materials will be available for free on our website.
The SINCOE project group invites you to join our webinar to learn how to use these materials. We will provide inspiring examples from our pilots and explain how to utilize our toolbox.
The programme is designed for teachers interested in integrating innovation competencies into their teaching, as well as researchers and other stakeholders interested in the topic.
