Welcome to the website of the
Erasmus+ project MODE IT!
The buzzword MOOC causes in Europe both, praise and criticism. MOOCs provide to everybody a unique opportunity to enjoy higher education services for free, without having enrolled in a university, and have greater potentials to building up a digital knowledge-based society.
However, only about 5% of enrolled learners are able to complete a MOOC. Why? The fact is: learning via MOOCs requires additional transversal skills from learners, such as the ability of self-regulated learning, analytical and research skills, and advanced digital competence.
The vast MOOC attendees seem simply not prepared for open online learning formats due to missing competences needed to benefit from such type of studies.
The MODE IT team believed these competences should have been acquired by students already during their formal studies. The innovative MODE IT solution was: to integrate MOOC-based teaching and learning approaches into higher education curricula! Formal students had to learn via MOOCs and to increase in this manner not only their subject knowledge, but also train the ability of lifelong learning.

Upskilling of native MOOC instructors
From August 31 to September 11, 2020 MODE IT team has implemented a training for instructional designers and pedagogical support staff from project partner institutions.
This training aimed to boost skills and competences of instructional designers linked to the design, development and implementation of MOOCs and MOOC-based courses, and was an integral part of the project.
Due to COVID-19-related risks, the training of 35 hours was delivered completely online and represented a mix of synchronous live-sessions and asynchronous learning activities. The training sessions were implemented using the Moodle platform and Adobe Connect software provided by Kaunas University of Technology.
Training sessions were delivered by internal experts from MODE IT team (Mr Cengiz Hakan Aydin, Professor at the Open Education Faculty of Anadolu University, Turkey, and Mr Ramunas Kubiliunas, head of study programs Software systems at Kaunas University of Technology, Lithuania), and by invited external experts with wider experience with MOOCs design and delivery (Mrs Irina Otmanine, senior MOOC advisor and instructional designer at the University of Cote d’Azur, France; Mrs Carmen Holotescu, Director of Center for Open Education and Blockchain at the University "Ioan Slavici" of Timisoara, Romania).
The training consisted of 5 modules, which were:
- MOOCs: orientation and foundations
- Online course design
- Online learning materials and technologies
- Interactive learning and assessment materials
- Quality of MOOCs & integration of MOOCs into formal learning.
The training contributed to attaining two main goals of the project:
First, trained instructional designers were prepared to provide pedagogical and technological support to academic staff at their home institutions when designing and delivering MOOC-based classes (IO3 of the project).
Second, trainees are now expected to jointly design and implement a MOOC for academic staff on how to create and deliver MOOCs and MOOC-based courses (IO2 of the project).
MODE IT presented at the IEEE EDUCON 2020 conference
The IEEE EDUCON conference provides a global forum for academic, research and industrial collaboration on global engineering education. Due to the current pandemic situation the conference, originally planned to take place in Porto, Portugal, happened from April 27 - 30, 2020 through online collaboration tools.
MODE IT was represented in the IEEE EDUCON conference by Carlos Vaz de Carvalho, Professor at the Polytechnic Institute of Porto, on the 30th of April 2020. The MODE IT presentation dealt with a MOOC-based innovative instructional approach for curriculum design, and took place in a session dedicated to ongoing projects fostering new approaches to Engineering education.
The MODE IT project has clearly gained even more relevance considering the current pandemic situation and that raised a lot of interest from the conference participants. The corresponding Q&A has in fact extended far beyond what was originally planned with participants wanting to know more details on the project implementation, on the formal integration of online tools in traditional teaching practices and on the possibility of collaboration with the project.
The MODE IT conference paper can be found in the 2020 IEEE Global Engineering Education conference (EDUCON) proceedings (pp. 1844 - 1847).
Show must go on: Zoom meeting instead Eskisehir!
In fact, 3rd of April 2020 was supposed to be spent by MODE IT team in Eskisehir, Turkey, for conducting the 2nd transnational project meeting. Due to Corona crisis, we switched to an online meeting supported by Zoom.
As one would expect, all the discussions were dedicated to how to efficiently work on the project under new circumstances. MODE IT staff are the main drivers of digital transformation at their home universities. The challenge now is to combine this unpredictably increased workload with the project activities.
At the same time, MODE IT partners are quite optimistic: MODE IT approach towards integrating MOOC-based pedagogies into higher education curricula is exactly the solution, which their home universities can greatly benefit from and grant the desired course flexibility and openness to their students in times of Corona! Blessing in disguise, as one would say! This gives an additional motivation to actively pursue the project goals.
MODE IT at the Online Workshop Digital Competences for Open Education
On 6th of March 2020, MODE IT project was presented at the online workshop Digital Competences for Open Education. As every year, this International Workshop is organized by Politehnica University of Timișoara (MODE IT partner), through the e-Learning Center with the support of the EDEN and IEEE associations, during the Open Education Week 2020.
