🚀 EDEN representatives at the Launch of the Higher Education Interoperability Framework 🚀 🌍 On January 15th, 2025, the Higher Education Interoperability Framework was launched in Brussels by the European Digital Education Hub (EDEH). This transformative initiative is part of the European Commission's Digital Education Action Plan, designed to foster a more collaborative and innovative higher education sector across Europe. By addressing fragmentation in digital education policy and practice, the Framework aims to pave the way for a connected and inclusive future in higher education. 💡 Representing EDEN, Prof. Wim Van Petegem (President of EDEN ) and Dr. Sandra Kucina Softic (Vice-president of EDEN and member of the Higher Education Interoperability Working Group) attended the event to support this initiative. The European Digital Education Hub (EDEH) is an initiative of the European Commission, funded by the Erasmus+ programme (2021-2027) and operated by a consortium of 13 organisations under a service contract with the European Education and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA). #DigitalEducation #EDEN #HigherEducation #Innovation #Collaboration #EDEH

🔍 Unpacking Digital Transformation in Education 📚💻 A comprehensive literature review by the European Commission's Joint Research Centre reveals mixed yet insightful findings on the impact of digital technologies in education. Here are the key takeaways: 📈 Broad Scope of Impact : Digital technologies influence not just learning outcomes but also teaching practices, school operations, and administrative functions. 🔑 Critical Factors : Successful integration depends on factors like digital competencies, teacher training, school leadership, infrastructure, and socio-economic context. 🛠️ Self-Reflection Tools : Tools like SELFIE help schools assess and develop their digital capacity, although more understanding is needed on their effectiveness. ⚙️ Complex Interactions : The impact of technology isn't linear but multifaceted, affected by a range of contextual factors and dynamic interactions. 📜 Policy Recommendations : Emphasizes a strategic approach to digital transformation, continuous monitoring, and investment to enhance digital education frameworks. 📊 The report underscores the need for nuanced assessments and policies that consider the broader ecosystem of educational technology use. #DigitalEducation #EdTech #EducationPolicy #InnovationInEducation #FutureOfLearning EU Employment & Skills Cedefop European Training Foundation EfVET European Association of Institutes for Vocational Training (EVBB) European Vocational Training Association - EVTA EURASHE eucen WorldSkills International National Centre for Vocational Education Research (NCVER) Theodor Grassos Agência Nacional Erasmus+ Educação e Formação Agencia Nacional SEPIE Erasmus Estudiar en España Euro App Mobility ENAIP Veneto Teresa e Alexandre Soares dos Santos - Iniciativa Educação

Yesterday, on June 26, we gathered in Brussels for a workshop on the European Higher Education Interoperability Framework. The event brought together experts and stakeholders to drive the development of a more connected and efficient educational ecosystem in Europe. 🤝 We started with inspiring welcomes from Georgi Dimitrov (DG EAC, European Commission) and Michael Hörig (DAAD). The morning sessions provided a comprehensive overview of our progress, including insights from the mapping and synthesis report, followed by engaging discussions about challenges in connecting the IT systems of universities, particularly European University Alliances. 💻📚 In the afternoon, parallel sessions focused on identifying priority use cases and defining practical tools needed to implement the framework. Participants shared invaluable feedback, setting clear priorities and expectations for the next steps. 🚀 A big thank you to all participants for your active engagement and contributions. Together, we are shaping the future of a more connected higher education in Europe, in which data can flow securely and smoothly for the benefit of learners. ✨ 🌟 Stay tuned for more updates, and make sure to join the European #DigitalEducationHub: https://zurl.co/E5JV #Interoperability #DigitalEducation #HigherEducation #Workshop _______________ The European Digital Education Hub (EDEH) is an initiative of the European Commission, funded by the Erasmus+ programme (2021-2027) and operated by a consortium of 13 organisations under a service contract with the European Education and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA).

Interoperability is a word that often makes people's eyes glaze over. Put simply - why can't you look for the best micro-credential to follow from any university in Europe? Why can't you find out what are the best courses and who are the best teachers? Why can't your qualifications be recognised across borders without jumping through hoops? Why can't we use the latest EdTech tools in classrooms instead of get caught in endless discussions on if tech is evil? These are a few of the problems which interoperability solves, by interconnecting themes seamlessly.

🚀 Empowering educators in the digital transition: next generation strategies for teacher professional development Proud to share that, with the support of the European Commission's DG REFORM and the TSI (Technical Support Instrument), a collaborative project between Belgian (Flemish) and Dutch authorities is advancing the digital upskilling of educators! The main CPD providers from both Flanders and the Netherlands attended the kick-off of this project today in Brussels. Their involvement highlights the strong commitment across sectors to innovate teacher professional development and ensure it meets the demands of a digitalised world. Key outcomes will include: 1️⃣ An inventory of innovative digital approaches for teachers' professional development. 2️⃣ A new framework to enhance digital components in CPD for teachers. 3️⃣ Policy and funding adaptations to support these innovations. Thanks to this EU and TSI-backed initiative, these reforms will help drive long-term impact on education in Flanders and the Netherlands, ensuring teachers are equipped for the digital future. #DigitalTransformation #EdTech #EUSupport #TSI #CPD #Flanders #Netherlands Katrien Bernaerts Hamid Riffi IDEACONSULT International - Groupe STUDI ICF Cecile Hoareau McGrath ICT Minocw Ministry of Education and Training Schoolmakers meemoo, Flemish Institute for Archives Olav AdamiBart BoelenHans De Four
