Digital Practicum 3.0: Exploring Augmented Reality, Remote Classrooms, and Virtual Learning To Enrich and Expand Preservice Teacher Education Preparation

PRAC3 would be a pioneer initiative to test the efficacy of an online teaching practicum. Today’s operational online resources aiming at bringing in the ICT in the practicum are based on the web 2.0 (theoretical contents online, users’ interaction via forums, blogs, social websites, etc). However, the ultimate motivation for this consortium is to design integrated online teaching resources for the on-site school teaching training based on web 3.0, which its defining feature is the possibility to access more personalized information according to the user’s experience (e.g., Elaboration of mentors’ and preservice students’ profiles, and virtual personalized school practices).

Co-thinking and Creation for STEAM diversity-gap reduction (CreaSTEAM)

Lack of diversity, especially gender inequality and social background are some global problems in different sectors but especially latent in the context of the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering (and the recently added concept of Arts), and Mathematics (STEAM), from primary school to university level and, therefore, labor market. When we talk about diversity, we are worried about attracting representative people from all sectors of society, different cultures, disabilities, ethnic groups, gender or sexual orientation.

European history crossroads as pathways to intercultural and media education (EHISTO)

The project reacts to the growing importance of mass-medial commercial ways of dealing with history in public space that in many respects does not comply with the EU standards for history teaching. However, mass media verifiably influence the historical perception of pupils, and therefore they constitute an important factor in history teaching. Thus arises an irrefutable demand in history and civic education for a combination of intercultural and media-critical competences in studying history multi-perspectively. Following in the footsteps of successful EU projects dealing with “European History Crossroads” (shared historical topics in Europe that point out the diversity of national historical viewpoints) EHISTO,

Tagging, Recognition and Acknowledgment of Informal Learning ExpeRiences (TRAILER)

The evolution of new technology and its increasing use, has for some years been making the existence of informal learning more and more transparent, especially among young and older adults in both Higher Education and workplace contexts. However, the nature of formal and non-formal, course-based, approaches to learning has made it hard to accommodate these informal processes satisfactorily, and although technology bring us near to the solution, it has not yet achieved.

Mobile Personal Learning Environments (MPLE)

Desde hace ya algunos años en diversos blogs e informes sobre tendencias se viene anunciando que el futuro del aprendizaje online pasa por una combinación de personalización, ubicuidad y socialización, de forma que se aporte mucha flexibilidad y dinamismo al proceso enseñanza/aprendizaje, a la par que se apuesta por la importancia del aprendizaje informal como complemento y/o combinación de las acciones formativas regladas.

Teaching and E-­Learning Advances in European Mobility Space (TALARIA)

The high competition on the European labor market forces the need of increasing the quality of education. The higher quality of education at European level requires intense activities aimed at exchange of experience and skills in the process of building the Europe of Knowledge. The current higher education development strategy in Poland anticipates imminent introduction of obligatory mobility for academic staff. However, Polish academic teachers prove low mobility, which, in turn, leads to limiting relations with global and European academic community.
