Title: Learn & Exchange: Upskilling the Information Professionals of the Future: Novel Digital Transformation MOCCs (Massive Open Online Course)

Partnership:

The main objective of the LEARN & EXCHANGE project is to plan, develop, deliver, validate and start using in the educational practice a novel set of MOOCs in the domain of digital transformation with a focus on the needs of information skills. This main objective is supported by the following complementary objectives:

• to synthesize the guiding principles for designing MOOCs which support action learning;
• to develop an innovative and scalable online learning platform;
• to design MOOCs on digital skills and capabilities offering a coherent set of courses in the domain of digital transformation, including an introductory course on digital transformation and information sectors, and courses on data management and visualization; digital literacy; information organization and access, and user experience design;
• to create and share standardized international online courses to provide exchange opportunities in virtual learning environments; the courses will be developed in seven languages – English, Turkish, French, Italian, Bulgarian, Estonian, and Hungarian;
• to ensure personalized learning experiences with suitable tools with an emphasis on action learning;
• to ensure intelligent, learner-centric analytics to help instructors understand how learners engage with course materials;
• to implement a mechanism for verifying learning outcomes and generate secure certificates issued after identity verification;
  -to create assessments using templates with features such as hinting, problem banks, automatic question generation, open-ended assessments, and code testers;
• to provide learners with pathways to improving their digital skills and capabilities;
• to encourage engagement by the use of a range of technological tools;
• to disseminate the outputs and the outcomes of the project;
• to connect with networks which would help to scale up the use of the new MOOCs;
• to create a community of practice taking this partnership to a higher-level ensuring sustainability;
• to enhance the possibilities of virtual and blended Erasmus mobilities;
• to contribute to establishing a European Education Area as well as strengthen the link between education and research, to foster the critical thinking skills of learners who are information professionals of the future.
