Project Summary

EUBBC-Digital will create a completely new way of educational collaboration between 8 universities in Bolivia, Brazil and Cuba, with the support of 7 universities & 3 SMEs in Europe. The partners will prove that it is possible to, in the digital environment of today, create a set of “global but local” “Dilpomado programs” of interest to the Latin American partner universities through re-using and sharing a number of available digital learning units, adapting these towards the local environments for the respective regions and by creating new units for global use. It will be proven that re-use of such learning units will allow for efficient creation of local degree-awarding programs, in which the teacher-collaboration will become extremely powerful and efficient. It will furthermore be proven that such a system will allow universities in less advanced economic regions to leap-frog a significant number of barriers and collaborate on more equal, but less broad, terms with highly reputed global HEIs.The project emphasizes several new aspects: • Sharing/re-using high-quality educational units from various sources allows the partners to create new, modern courses without having all the competences and human resources within the whole program area• This “share-economy” allows a “global but local” perspective in which the degree-awarding HEIs in emerging economies combine expertise from international and local specialists, offering courses and programs based upon the local community/citizens needs• Sharing and combining expertise from international and local specialists increases the quality of the educational material• It gives learners the freedom to learn from a broad perspective of international teachersEUBBC-Digital builds, through participation of academic & administrative staff, capacity towards detailed learning units as well as new types of degree-awarding academic programs created through enhanced international collaboration with globally developed OERs
