Call for participation: EUA Survey on digitally enhanced learning and teaching
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Due to the coronavirus crisis, universities have come under sudden pressure to shift to digitally enhanced teaching and online learning. While this is a temporary measure in an emergency situation, the topic will continue, and is likely to play an even more prominent role than before the crisis.
This survey https://eden-online.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=d513a442748b7ef82571e9bbb&id=af2a1dbd45&e=6610be86c2 aims to map the situation regarding digitally enhanced learning and teaching at higher education institutions across Europe, regarding benefits, impact, challenges, plans and strategies for the future. The survey was planned long before the coronavirus crisis started, but it also includes some questions on how higher education institutions are adapting to the changed situation. The survey is open to all European higher education institutions through 4 June 2020.
