The next HEInnovate webinar will explore the key pillars of the national policy approaches to enhance digital transformation in higher education in Ireland and in Hungary. In addition, university representatives will discuss the impact of COVID-19 on teaching and learning as well as on the entrepreneurial culture in higher education institutions. The challenge is to turn what started as an emergency response to the pandemic into sustainable changes with a potential to enhance the quality of the learning experience.
The webinar will take place on Thursday 18th June at 6pm CEST.
The moderated discussion will engage four experts:
- Dr Terry Maguire is an educator and senior manager who has pioneered flexible and blended approaches to teaching and learning in Ireland and Scotland. Terry has led the development of Ireland’s National Forum for the Enhancement of Teaching and Learning in Higher Education since its inception in 2013
