It started on 29 April and continues until 22 May the free webinar cycle open to the public organised by MIP Politecnico di Milano Graduate School of Business e CRUI Foundationwhich sees lecturers from the world's most prestigious universities - Imperial College London, University City London, UC Berkeley, Open University and Politecnico di Milano - discuss the most important innovations in digital education.
The initiative aims to offer insights, share best practices and suggest sound approaches for professors and academic institutions interested in making the transition to online education as effective and efficient as possible.
The health emergency caused by the Covid 19 pandemic is pushing universities around the world towards online delivery of both under-graduate and post-graduate courses. Some institutions are better prepared to meet this challenge, others are experimenting with new approaches to distance learning for the first time in recent weeks. Doing so effectively is not only a matter of technology and platforms, but of redesigning the educational approach and of knowing the digital educational tools and related pedagogical orientations.
The meetings, which will take place in Italian and last one hour, will be hosted by the Microsoft Teams platform. Participation is free of charge and open to the public, after registering on the site www.som.polimi.it/webinar-mip-crui.
