Information about webinar:

The webinar of the project EduEnvi was organized at 31st of March 2020. 86 people were registered for the webinar and 50 people took part. Teachers, students, representatives of enterprises, as well as stakeholders from Kazakhstan, Russia, Spain, Denmark, Finland and Greece participated in the webinar.

The webinar demonstrated the results of piloting courses uploaded to the platforms of Al-Farabi KazNU and the St. Petersburg National Research University of Information Technologies, Mechanics and Optics, and the participants shared by concrete examples from practice.

In the developed courses were used the knowledge and skills necessary to create courses for online learning, which were acquired during training at workshops that took place at the University of Applied Sciences Tampere, Finland, on the use of innovative technologies such as Socrative, Aswergarden, padlet, prezi, screecast matic, google my maps, zoom, etc .; at the University of Applied sciences in Lillebaelt, Denmark, the purpose of which was the use of problem learning methods aimed at the development of scientific thinking, and at cooperation between the university and the industry; as well as at the University of Valladolid, whose goal was to explore the latest best practices in sustainable waste management.

Thus, the teachers took part in the development of online courses, which were successfully completed and piloted during the end of 2019, and the beginning of 2020, and the results of which were presented at the webinar.

How to cooperate with industry on a problem within Sustainable Waste Management https://eduenvi.tamk.fi/2019/12/17/how-to-cooperate-with-industry-on-a-problem-within-sustainable-waste-management/ Tue, 17 Dec 2019 10:11:55 +0000 http://eduenvi.tamk.fi/?p=1041 Continue reading ]]> One focus in EduEnvi has been on Learning Innovation and Entrepreneurship through University Industry cooperation. During the project a serie of workshops have been organized within the theme and a handbook of How to cooperate with industry on a problem within Sustainable Waste Management is published. The work is led by UCL University College from Denmark.

The purpose of the workshops organized within the theme has been to introduce the participating teachers to industry/university collaboration in order to instruct them in including casework in their teaching.

According to UCL teachers Elisabeth Agerbaek and Ellen Houmoeller, the Enhancing Competences of Sustainable Waste Management, cannot be done separated from its contexts. In other words, the premise is that the learning of the competences are done best as “learning by doing”. Thus, the breeding ground of the workshops is for the teachers to learn how to place the students in this kind of context and provide with the necessary tools.

Involving industry challenges in everyday teaching involves a series of additional challenges for a teacher. In order to prepare each teacher to deal with these challenges, the workshops revolved around the context of an industry/university collaboration used at UCL, Denmark.

The workshops were constructed based on significant phases that are necessary when initiating the collaborations as well as phases during the project and after the end of project.

The first step of the workshop is to instruct the teachers in how to create contact with a local industry. The next step is to provide the teachers with tools in order to create a project description. Furthermore, the following steps of the workshop is to instruct the teachers in facilitating the project as well as executing the project themselves with focus on facilitation and collaboration. The final step in completing the workshop is to provide the teachers with the tools to evaluate the process and the outcome.

The seminar was devoted to a circular economy and digitalization of waste management in conditions of urban development. During the seminar the participants visited a number of environmental services in the Helsinki Region and  the cities of Helsinki and Vantaa as well as their energy companies implementing the “waste to energy” approach.  Interesting information was received that will be used in preparation of the online courses in EduEnvi project. The synergy of our two projects will continue to manifest itself, helping to increase their sustainability and dissemination of the results.

Managerial Meeting on Quality assurance https://eduenvi.tamk.fi/2019/08/15/managerial-meeting-on-quality-assurance/ Thu, 15 Aug 2019 07:43:05 +0000 http://eduenvi.tamk.fi/?p=824 Continue reading ]]> The managers from partner universities assembled in Yekaterinburg on 4-5 June 2019 for the reports, prepared by Sergei Polbitsyn of Ural Federal university and Dina Williams of Manchester university on quality assurance results and further development.

All participants of the meeting approved that the progress of the project conforms the requirements of the grant agreement.

However, some issues to be improved were sounded. The first and the most important was the issue on reporting on activities. The information on few grant activities is lacking and it is needed to be presented on the grant website.

The external evaluator Dina Williams emphasized in her report that the partners are doing well with the delivering the expected outcomes, but partners lack attention to the information flows. She noted that it would be useful to adopt internal standards on what information must be posted on outcomes and activities.

The meeting was concluded with better understanding for further improvement of quality assessment of the grant.
