Előadáának címe: Learning Transformation in Universities: Ecosystem(s), Communities, and Innovative Pedagogies.
Higher education is undergoing a profound transformation, reshaping learning ecosystems, communities, and pedagogical approaches. This keynote will explore three interconnected dimensions of this shift:
Evolving Learning Ecosystems – The European University Initiative is accelerating the movement toward a more interconnected, borderless higher education landscape— one that fosters transnational collaboration and embraces the concept of a “university without walls”. The rapid advancement of digital technologies, particularly Generative AI, is redefining knowledge creation, access, and personalization, making learning more adaptive and student-centered.
Changing Learning Communities – Universities are becoming increasingly global and inclusive through internationalization, digitally enhanced mobilities, and a openness towards lifelong learning. These shifts are dissolving traditional boundaries between students, educators, and industries, fostering dynamic, transdisciplinary communities that thrive on open and flexible learning structures.
Transforming Learning Processes – Innovative pedagogies are reshaping how students engage with knowledge and real-world challenges. Approaches such as challenge-based learning, open labs, service learning, and gamification are fostering experiential, collaborative, and impact-driven education. These methods empower students as co-creators of knowledge, equipping them with the skills and mindsets needed for an unpredictable future.
By weaving together these transformative forces, the presentation will provide an insights into how universities can reimagine their roles in an era of openness, digital innovation, and interconnectedness.
