Cooperation: research and realityINNOVATIONS Virtual mobility in Higher education Open educational resoures (OER) Quality assurance
Research and Reality• Cooperation between tertiary education
institutions and Lithuanian Association of Distance and e-Learning (LieDM association) lead by VMU:– Conferences, trainings, seminars;joint
projects, research, quality assurance– Seeks to develop synergy among
national, regional, and European initiatives and programmes.
Innovations• For Virtual Mobility;• Innovative Curriculum Using
OER
Virtual Mobility in HE• How can teachers and institutions prepare
for VM? • What are VM process phases and what
decisions need to be taken to start the VM process?
• How to design a curriculum for virtual mobility?
• What competences may be improved or developed in VM activities?
• How to implement VM in HE? • What learning and teaching methods, and
what technological solutions should be used?
Innovations suggested by ERASMUS +project
Opening Universities for Virtual MobilityPr. No. 2014-1-LT01-KA203-000550
• Consortium universities developed virtual mobility (VM) curriculum (modules) for a Master degree program in a collaborative way by teachers from consortium universities;
• Each partner leads the development of at least 2 modules. In total - a MA study program in Education science composed of 10 modules.
Innovations suggested by ERASMUS +project
Opening Universities for Virtual MobilityPr. No. 2014-1-LT01-KA203-000550
• The modules are developed using the best experience from the partners’ universities in the field of education, ICT, management and etc. which means that the program is interdisciplinary;
• It can be used as a unique on-line program or splitted and used by modules. It could be implemented later by each partner individually or in cooperation with one or two partners.
Challenges for study timelines and other intercultural issues
Challenges and collaboration
• Different experience• Different quality
assurance requirements
• Different scenarios of contact hours
• Different experience in online learning
• Different understanding of collaboration
• Time/ point of view/ other challenges
Innovations suggested by projects (OpenProf; Re-OPEN – Recognition of Valid and Open Learning)
Project number 2016-1-LT01-KA202-023131• Foster open international collaboration of
professionals for innovation• Train the staff of educational institutions
– on use, reuse, and development of open educational resources (OER) and
– creation of innovative curriculum for work-based learning using OER
Innovations suggested by projects (OpenProf; Re-OPEN – Recognition of Valid and Open Learning
Project number 2016-1-LT01-KA202-023131
Key innovations in training of teachers and trainers, as well as adult educators:
– open educational resource and open curriculum development and licensing
– open collaboration, as well as– designing curriculum for diverse target
groups including the mode of work - based learning;
– Validation of open educational resources.
OpenProf Project Results – 3 training materials on
1. OER and sustainability models• OER characteristics and types• OER development process • Guidance for OER use, reuse and creation
2. ICT tools to develop and adapt OER• ICT tools for OER development• licences for OER use, re-use and adaptation
3. Innovative curriculum designing for work - based learning for CVET, VET and adult education
• characteristics of innovative curriculum for WB learning• syllabus for an online course development• learning activities for learners using OER

Requirements for teachers for collaboration in OpenPROF
• Digital competence• Openness for idea sharing,
critics and learning• Benevolent attitude towards
collaboration and innovations
Challenges for teachers creating and adapting OER
• Tools to be used for OER creation• Tools to publish OER• Requirements for OER editable
version• How much the OER should be
adapted to become a new OER?• How open are we - should the OER be
open for commercial use?
Quality assurance/ support for teachers
• Leonardo da Vinci TOI project • REVIVE VET - Reviewing and Reviving
VET practices
Quality assurance criteria for integration of ICT in VET and CVET
Quality assurance procedures • Acreditation of formal and non-formal
courses by peer review at LieDM , • QA procedures at University level for
distance learning courses.
