Hacking Innovative Pedagogies: Digital Education Rewilded

At the core of "Hacking Innovative Pedagogies: Digital Education Rewilded" (HIP-DER) is the goal of fundamentally re-imagining traditional university education. This innovative project responds to...

Set against our reimaginative and transformative ambitions, this project has five main objectives. Firstly, it seeks to create active and unbounded learning spaces where teachers, students and digital education experts meet physically and virtually to reimagine traditional university habitats, formats, practices and infrastructures. Secondly, it aims to ‘hack’ existing pedagogy by finding creative ways of overcoming known barriers and obstacles to more innovative and transformative pedagogies. Thirdly, it endeavours to create a lasting legacy by building new places and spaces for the production of knowledge and open educational resources. This includes static and rich media, a digital makerspace and a MOOC that are freely available and can be shared through various powerful networks to inspire and support other European educators. Fourthly, it aims to develop teacher digital competences by providing self-assessment tools and empower the European teaching and learning community to utilise computerized systems in innovative, creative ways to improve and develop more effective digital teaching and learning capacities. Finally, the project is based on principles of equity, diversity and inclusion and all activities will aim at meeting the present needs of teachers and students since this will support them also in the future.
