O1: NANO-CODE DIGITAL UNIVERSITY AULA

Leader: Sofia University St Kliment Ohridski
Targets: higher education tutors and graduates; wider public
Type: e-Learning platform
Media: Internet
Languages: Bulgarian, English, German, Greek, Turkish

Background

A preliminary analysis of the results of an e-survey among the potential users regarding the content, functionality and use of the Nano-Code platform revealed demand for:

  • A dedicated virtual space which would allow remote access to teaching/learning content.
  • An IT-based educational platform to host various blended teaching/learning modules and methods and enhance the capacity of tutors and graduates for their application.

Content

The Nano-Code Digital University Aula hosts:

  • Simulation of a flexible environment to fit different teaching/learning needs.
  • Interactive, distributed and IT-based content to be fed into a novel e-system for organisation of an innovative educational curriculum.
  • A space for impact through dissemination and utilisation activities.

The Nano-Code Digital University Aula has the following subpanels:

1. Information about the project: its aims, objectives and progress and applicable materials

2. The NANOC-Code digital teaching/learning panel which:

  • Hosts the innovative e-educational curriculum created using Content Management System (CMS).
  • Follows a multilingual approach for the interactive presentation of the content.
  • Boosts the educational e-system which offers blended opportunities with online and offline access.
  • Gives opportunities to trainees to choose links and supports them to find specific competency-based Learning Pathways (LPs).
  • Allows for final tests covering dynamic questions for (self)-evaluation.
  • Facilitates trainees’ choice regarding the type of learning.
  • Supports the partnership in maintaining, updating and rationalizing the Nano-Code educational programme.

3. Nano-Code e-resources: a meta-database of:

  • Records of useful links, legislative documents, studies, reports, etc., pertinent to the EU and national practices in higher education.
  • National and EU information in Nanotechnology against COVID-19 and related sectors.

4. Nano-Code open forum for dissemination and utilisation: the project deliverables offered to a large audience of end-users and target groups.

Where is the innovation?

The Nano-Code Digital University Aula possesses:

  • Multilinguality and multifunctionality character
  • Accessibility
  • Flexibility

What is the impact?

The Nano-Code Digital University Aula is a dedicated virtual space to be maintained after the end of the project.

Transferability potential

The Nano-Code Digital University Aula transfers:

  • The best practices in e-teaching/learning and information provision on Nanotechnology to fight COVID 19.
  • Categorized information and knowledge in Nanotechnology and digital education.
  • A specialised mode of content organisation which can be transferred to other contexts and subjects.
