Ken Mccarthy from South East Technological University (SETU), in Waterford, Ireland. Ken told us all about the NTUTOR project.
Ken McCarthy is the NTUTORR Institutional Lead at SETU. NTUTORR is a national collaborative technological sector project designed to transform learning, teaching, and assessment by focusing on transforming the student experience and developing the capabilities of all staff with particular and critical focus on the Sustainable Development Goals and EDI.
DChiLL strives to conceptualize a multidisciplinary, cross-sectoral and inter-university knowledge creation model that combines physical and virtual learning environments with collaborative digital tools. Here international multidisciplinary student teams, facilitated by teachers, collaborate with researchers and external stakeholders on challenges of digital literacy and inclusion in partner's regions.
Informed by the Digital Agenda and Framework for Digital Literacy, an online self-assessment tool based on DigCompEdu methodology is being designed. The tool is the first step in identifying the digital literacy needs of educators. It helps us to understand how skilled we are digitally and where and how we can improve. The tool is accessible through our website. Stay tuned to take the test as soon as it is released!
The Community of Practice (CoP) is created as a space for sharing. Here teachers and professionals in the field of education will learn from and inspire each other, by co-creating innovative pedagogies, developing and testing new methods, and platforms for digital collaborative learning.
By joining the CoP, you have an opportunity to learn from and with international colleagues through shared practices, which are supported by activities and tools designed by IGNITION partners. You will learn more about digital skills and competences.
The CoP is open to every teacher and professional in the educational field from all levels of digital skill sets. We also welcome warmly digitally highly skilled teachers for sharing their knowledge.
Join us and become future-ready for the next generation of digital youth!
The official kick-off of the CoP takes place in the week of March 14-16, 2023, during an IGNITION Learning Teaching and Training Activity hosted by our partner in Ireland, South East Technological University in Waterford. After that, all CoP's events are organized in an online setting and will be communicated through IGNITION's LinkedIn page.
