METHODS NETWORK INFORMATION

The METHODS Project

METHODS is a European Erasmus+ project aimed to improve the quality of teaching and learning at the Partner Country universities through incorporating technological tools in consistence with pedagogical best practices and by building the capacity of the universities to evaluate, develop and design e-curricula to be available on an open accessible portal. To achieve this objective, the project will support establishing a national Center in both Jordan (in JU) and Palestine (in BZU) to be as a  hub for utilizing best practices in ICT in Higher Education in both Partner Countries . These Centers will facilitate establishing diverse clusters (pool of staff members from target discipline in Engineering and Science faculty with multimedia and educational specialists interested in a certain discipline) from Partner Country universities where an educational specialists will review the proposed learning material in order to ensure compatibility with the standards; and  multimedia designers who will design the interfaces, activities, presentation, layout and animation included in the e-curricula.

The specific objectives of METHODS are:

      Training and follow up with lecturers/professors on how to develop and share learning objects, as well as to collaborate with their e-courses on the portal.

      Establish a well-equipped national center in both Jordan and Palestine focused on modernization of higher education and moving toward knowledge-based economy.

      Create a hub of competences aimed to improve quality of teaching and learning by building the capacities of the partner Country universities to evaluate, develop and design e-curricula.

      Enhance the cooperation with EU partners through mutual visits to develop teaching to learning strategies and develop scalable sustainable solutions.

      Create a pool of experts and clusters of targeted disciplines (Engineering and Science) in this area.
