THE

GOOD PRACTICE REPORT

THE HEXTLEARN PROJECT RESULTS ARE NOW FULLY AVAILABLE ONLINE

 

The report is summarizing the outcome of a long research work during the project based on a detailed research plan. Different techniques were used to collect possible Good practices of ICT use in the European Higher Educational arena. The cases were categorized in 9 territories.  Upon agreed definition we selected (shortlisted) those where at least two criteria of excellence could be observed.

 

Based on the good practices, detailed data was gathered about the selected practices with different techniques, most commonly by updating or making interviews with the representatives of the institution. Finally more than 35 detailed cases were quantitatively analyzed by a common grid of 30 questions in 9 areas from management to  communication. The analysis shows the most frequently  cited common elements in respective areas that lead to good practice, as well as some territory specific outcomes where some aspects were cited only in one or two territory cases.

The

Peer Review Report

 

The report is summarizing the outcome of a long and intensive exercise consisting of designing the approach, tools, embedding into the http://www.hextlearn.eu/  platform and final implementation and reporting of 9 peer review exercises in 8 EU countries carried out in the frame of the Hextlearn project.

 

 The virtual peer reviews have been adapted to the needs of the HEIs involved and have also been present in the main project seminars and workshops via virtual exchanges and group discussions. The 9 Peer Reviews have been carried out in 2 steps.

 

The report shows the high potential that a web 2.0 platform has in gathering HEI representatives across Europe to exchange, learn and improve their ICT approaches for teaching and learning.

 

THE

Living Toolkit Service is Online


The purpose of the LIVING TOOLKIT is:

  • to let you read and use the information we synthetised from the large number of good practice cases, interviews and peer reviews gathered from the Hextlearn community
  • to encourage you to share the recommendations you think are useful for other ICT practicioners in Higher Education all around Europe.
  • to see a broad picture about ICT good practices all around Europe to position yourself
  • to go further on the Hextlearn road in case our WikiMendations has got assuring indications to your ICT practice by using the tool: Sharing Practice
