Project Summary

WITEA-ID is a transnational project that draws on existing and emerging digital and international mobility competencies and skills needs in higher education, translating them into an approach of short term events with highly relevant inputs and reflecting critical cybersecurity issues.

The project intends to create the infrastructure necessary for learning events with transnational and international participants on the side of students as well as teachers. Opening such events to the broader public due to digital transfer of the teaching sessions should enable more inclusivity of the education (overcoming the geographical, health and other obstacles and also age barriers).

WITEA-ID aims to:
– Ensure that HEI students and teachers are at the forefront run of research, technological developments and innovation in digitalisation; (to enhance digital competences);
– Ensure that current and future professionals have the work attitude, knowledge, flexibility and competencies that they can cope with rapid changing EU job market demands; (to enhance competences for international mobility and multilingualism);
– Identify the existing and emerging needs of teachers in digital education and enhance the responsiveness of initial and continuing training for teachers to these needs; (to enhance digital competences);
– Promote synergies, cooperation and cross-fertilisation among partners (to enhance internationalisation on the participating institutions);
– Include new stakeholder groups in short time events (to enhance inclusivity).

Main outputs of the project will be:
– Guidelines on the recommendations for the International Weeks and similar events identifying the existing ways of organising such events, identifying competencies of students and teachers for international mobility, analysing methodology for teaching and learning in the context of global mobility and respecting their security in the digital world;

– 2 Workshops for Teachers, bringing up innovative tools and approaches in digital teaching;

– 2 Weeks of International Teaching, bringing the theoretical knowledge into practice;

– Web-based e-learning Toolkit (e-Toolkit): an open-access online resource to improve international mobility competencies in higher education, helping to assess competence growth;

– Web-based e-learning Toolkit (e-Toolkit): an open-access online resource to improve digital competence, assessing digital competence of the participant;
