The Conference
Schedule will include
the widely acclaimed,
traditional sections
such as Plenary
sessions, Oxford
debate, Workshop
sessions, Synergy
brainstorming, and the
PhD Symposium. The
syllabus will be
rooted in the
experiences of EDEN’s
currently running,
successful webinar

interactive engagement

flexible joining and
arrangements for
delegates.
Conference fees are
kept reasonably low
and young scholars can
apply for waived fees.
EDEN aims to
ensure the enhanced
academic quality of
the event
by publishing the
double-blind peer
reviewed papers in the
electronic Conference
Proceedings with ISSN,
discovered and linked
by Google and Google
Scholar, Alma
(ProQuest), EBSCO
Discovery Services
(EDS), with further
indexing via the
Central and Eastern
European Online
Library (CEEOL).
We look forward to the
continued support by
all participants to
ensure the success of
the EDEN 2020 Annual
Virtual Conference,
also in the hope of
seeing each other face
to face on the EDEN
Research Workshop in
Lisbon in October.

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 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. |

Contract Cheating and Assessment Design Framework
resources
|
|
|
The aim of the project "Contract
Cheating and
Assessment Design:
Exploring the
Connection" was to
develop an
evidence-based framework
for assessment design in
higher education that
minimises students’
usage of contract
cheating services. The
project website contains
a repository
of resources to
assist the higher
education sector,
institutions, educators
and students. |
