In an exciting development for educators and learners alike, the UNED Radio Channel recently hosted an insightful talk focused on the effectiveness of NOOC-based microcredentials as part of the ENID-TEACH project.

The talk highlighted the results of extensive research conducted over the past two years, which included gathering the opinions of university teachers who participated in five different NOOCs.

1. Effectiveness of Microlearning: Participants shared positive feedback on the microlearning format, noting its accessibility and the ability to fit learning into their busy schedules.
2. Scientific Basis: The evaluation sought to establish a scientific foundation for microlearning as a teaching model, analyzing its impact on student engagement and knowledge retention.
3. Teacher Insights: University educators provided valuable perspectives on the integration of NOOCs into traditional curricula, emphasizing flexibility and adaptability in teaching strategies.

The findings from this research not only shed light on the current effectiveness of NOOC-based microcredentials but also pave the way for future developments in educational practices. The ENID-TEACH project aims to continue refining these innovative approaches to enhance learning experiences across Europe.

Organized by UNED, a series of workshops is designed to empower university teachers and education enthusiasts with innovative tools and strategies for effective teaching in digital environments.

The ENID-Teach workshops adopt a practical and interactive approach, enabling participants to apply what they learn directly to their teaching practices. Conducted in Spanish with English subtitles, these synchronous sessions foster collaboration and active engagement between participants and the expert teaching team.

The workshops will run from January 20 to February 7, 2025, are conducted via Zoom, with sessions recorded and made available on the UNED Channel, allowing participants to revisit the material at their convenience.

On the 17th and 18th of July, the partnership has met in presence, at the premises of Universidade Aberta in Lisbon. This has been the second transnational meeting in presence, after Paris in 2022. A new opportunity to strengthen the partnership cohesion and to focus on the different project aspects. During the meeting, the partners have discussed different aspects of the development of the project, especially those related to the creation, translation and dissemination of the NOOCs. In addition, the meeting was an opportunity to strengthen ties and make new proposals to help improve the project.

Today we have celebrated the first online seminar of the ENID-TEACH project.

During the meeting, the different project partners have introduced the five expected NOOCS and the project e-learning environment. More that 100 participants from all Europe have attended the event!

Stay tuned! The first two NOOCs will start on the 19th of January!

ENID-Teach has officially started!

Today the ENID-Teach partnership has met for the first time in order to start the project activities. We have discussed about the project activities and started to share ideas about the NOOCs design and contents.

Unfortunately, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, it has been safer to meet just online, but we are confident that soon we’ll be able to meet in presence too.
