IO1 – Comparative Study: Boosting the effectiveness of online HE learning |
The Output includes two outcomes:
1) QUALITATIVE RESEARCH with focus group methodology in order to research the opinion of academics and university faculty. Each group will be composed of at least 5 stakeholders
who have recently been in the position of having to transfer their courses online. At least one focus group per country will be conducted.
2) QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH using questionnaires that will research the views of students, who have recently taken online HE courses that if it were not for COVID
19 restrictions would have occurred face-to-face. The sample size will be at least 100 students per partner country with a maximum of 400.
Activities:
A1 - Quantitative research methodology.
A2 - Qualitative research methodology
A3 - Qualitative and Quantitative Implementation of the field research
A4 - National Reports
A5 - Comparative Study
UNINETTUNO's role
providing feedbacks regarding the questionnaires to be submitted to the students and translating them into Italian language
submission of the questionnaires to 100 students
preparation of a national report on the results of the focus groups and of the quantitative research on the basis of the document prepared by the IO Leader
Output:
- The level of satisfaction of the online activities
- The difficulties that the parties involved had to face when they were involved in the e-learning procedures
- What were the most interesting and effective parts of the activities
- What they would do differently to increase effectiveness
- What would be most motivating for students?
- Any other suggestions |

IO3- iSurvive compass: Online
orientation toolkit and
customized digital roadmap
application for Interactive and
Gamified online content
Creation
|
Objective:
This deliverable will provide faculty and academics with the "hands on" tools they need to create the interactive and playful content they need. Someone can find endless tools, plug-ins and software, online activities that can help them facilitate a very interesting and playful content for their online course. However, most academics either don't have enough time to research, choose and learn all those tools that will make their content interactive and motivating, or they just find a few tools that seem fun and useful and use those, no matter if they are the correct ones for their target group, disciplines, class duration etc.
Activities:
A1- Methodology Development and Work Plan.
A2- Technological tool for interactive content creation
A3- Algorithm on appropriate available resources/tools that best suit each purpose.
A4- Custom application for interactive and playful electronic content creation
A5 - Application Pilot
A6 - Monitoring and Evaluation
Role of UNINETTUNO
IO Leader
Coordination of the whole IO with the support of DIMITRA for the technological development:
Development of work methodology
Support to A2-3-4-5
Review of all procedures

IO4- MOOC training |
Objective:
In order for HE faculty and academics to be able to successfully use the interactive and playful content creation tools that the roadmap will finalize for their courses, faculty will need to receive training on all of the tools. Following the general principles of the project, the training activities will be developed as an online course in the form of a MOOC.
Activities:
A1: Development of methodology and work plan
A2: Definition of the approach, guidelines and templates for the online course
A3: Development of online content
A4: Development of online platform
A5: Translation into national languages
A6: Upload materials to platform

A8: Evaluation and Report with Recommendations
A9: Best Practices and Evaluation Results
Role of UNINETTUNO
support in the definition of the most appropriate tools and methods to be followed for the realisation of the online course
Development of the online training contents
translation of the course materials into Italian
Output:
