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.
The METHODS Network – a
network of opportunities
The METHODS Network aims to open a wide range of
opportunities:
-
To facilitate exchange of good
practises between the members through the METHODS portal and
twinning procedures in order to promote transfer of knowledge
between its members;
-
To encourage the submission of common
proposals and development of projects between the members of the
network;
-
To assist in the establishment of
METHODS best practices;
The METHODS benefits for
its Network members
The METHODS Network members obtain numerous benefits to
grow, share, learn, and modernise:
-
The chance to exchange good practises
between the members through the METHODS portal and twinning
procedures and to promote transfer of knowledge among its
members;
-
To access a transnational forum of
discussion in ICT in Higher Education;
-
To participate in common actions
between the members of the METHODS Network, such as: seminars,
submission of proposals and development of projects, submission
of publications in scientific journals and scientific
conferences;
-
To participate in training workshops to
be held under the theme of ICT in Higher Education;
