THE ONLINE, OPEN AND FLEXIBLE HIGHER EDUCATION CONFERENCE
Transforming higher education in the 21st Century

EADTU has started the EMPOWERing universities initiative to support policy reform in European higher education with regard to the transition to new modes of teaching and learning and supporting innovation in higher education practices.

During the HOME conference ‘Mapping the European MOOC Territory’, participating institutions, projects and associations drafted a statement on how European institutions, governments and the European commission should react on the opportunities and threats of MOOCs.

The ECO project (ECO: Elearning, Communication and Open-data: Massive Mobile, Ubiquitous and Open Learning) ECO will launch a course on how to design MOOCs on 30 March 2015.

Yesterday EADTU organised the first of four SEQUENT online consultation sessions. This first session has covered Chapters 1 and 4 on Strategic Management and Course Delivery of the E-xcellence Manual.

In the framework of the SEQUENT project on Supporting Quality in e-learning European Networks, EADTU is organising a series of webinars. The online sessions are covering the E-xcellence and OpenupEd quality labels on On-line and Open Education (MOOCs).

This EADTU report presents and analyses the results of a survey conducted by the HOME project between October and December 2014.
