Digital transformation in higher education, digital ecosystems, eLearning and technology-enhanced learning have become increasingly prevalent concepts and needs in recent years. Governments and Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) have been compelled to address their digital transformation in a variety of ways and develop more flexible teaching methods, while maintaining the quality of their educational processes. Such transformation is essential for meeting the needs of highly digitalised societies and the labour market.

To assist HEIs in their digital transformation, the Union for the Mediterranean (UfM) and the Open University of Catalonia (UOC) are offering a series of two training workshops and a publication for senior academic leaders, management, and teaching staff in the Mediterranean region. The first training block, which will take place on the 4 and 5 November, is 6.5 hours long over two days and will be delivered in a webinar format for ease of follow-up. The second training block will be held on 2 and 3 December, and the publication by the mid-December.

The first training block is entitled Leading the digital transformation in Higher Education: models, leadership, and quality assurance. A course for academic leaders, managers and teaching staff. It will focus on leading the digital transformation in higher education, exploring models, leadership, and quality assurance, and it is designed for academic leaders, managers and teaching staff.

Please note that UfM/UOC certificates of attendance will be issued to those participants who attend at least 80% of the scheduled sessions.
