www.up2university.eu 2
Outcomes of the Del 5.2
Adaptation of the general model
1. Lesson Learnt I: In some cases Module 1 and 2 became one unified Module
(accessible online) where teacher training and use by student at school are
part of the same continuum.
2. Lesson Learnt II: Need to support an informal /not structured approach that
will eventually land into the formal learning framework
3. Lesson Learnt III: necessity of a better communities integration for all
stakeholders to be involved.
Pedagogic counseling on Pilot activities in
schools
1. Define a possible common path to carry on the Pilot (e.g. prerequisites, goals,
main contents and methodologies) within all the pilot countries
2. Provide the partners with Learning Objects for teachers’ training on a
minimum common tracks: technology enhanced learning, computational
thinking, critical thinking, GDPR guideline, LALT.
3. Establish an evaluation protocol to assess participation and learning
outcomes: (flexible) criteria to be followed, online survey, (optional)
observational grid based upon LA
Enabling predefined Learning Paths
1. predefined Learning Paths to show how existing OERs might boost a
common, comparable, "teacher training" / "student learning“
2. Design and create 3 initial OERs on skills
a. Pedagogical introduction about all skills
b. LALT- Communication
c. Critical thinking
3. Testing in pilot countries
4. Adaptation and translation to foster uniformity

WP5 Internal task groups to achieve a set of WP5's sub-goals
• Mockup of a Country based Communities Dashboard:
9
• Promoting activities based on the “University as a Hub” principle,
alongside the one done directly by Up2U in schools.
§ Universities already involved in Up2U will act as Hubs of pedagogical
innvoation and as Pilot Coordnators
§ Some university already has a national “recruiting programme” for
specific type of degrees
§ Universities generally are entering the area of “orienteering and
sensibilisation” toward the country specific educational needs:
§ Sapienza, e.g. wants to promote recruitment in:
§ Health and Medicine, Tourism studies, Heritage studies
§ Activities such as summer courses, “scuola-alternanza lavoro”, courses
towards secondary schools will have this goal
General Activities: University as a
Hub I ( ‫ל‬‫ה‬‫ר‬‫ח‬‫י‬‫ב‬ )
10
• Promote activities based on the “University as a Hub” principles,
alongside the one done directly by Up2U in schools. (New slide)
• Pedagogical support the integration of existing Jupyter notebooks for
formal/informal in Up2U.
• Involvement of authorities, like Heritage Ministry, to pilots with secondary
schools about learning scenarios that focus on “non-scholastic themes”
such as “Emergency and seismic education and risk mitigation” and
“Valorisation of Archaeological sites”
General Activities I ( ‫ל‬‫ה‬‫ר‬‫ח‬‫י‬‫ב‬ )

communities
Central management, hierarchical structure,
mandated / monitored participation.
Examples: Schools
Direct contact with the organisational leadership, to identify
needs and constraints and design a needs-based solution.
Examples: Letter to the Education Ministry
Organized
networks
Central support and platform, self-organising or
supported activities, voluntary participation. Limited
common infrastructure.
Examples: Scientix
Direct contact with network facilitators, to define sponsored
activities. Engagement with network members through
supported channels.
Example: Involvement with local representatives f Scientix in
Greece
Emergent
communities
Self-organising, little or no organised support.
Voluntary participation. No common infrastructure.
Examples: Local association of professional like
Impariamo ad imparare in Italy
Direct contact with influencers in the community. Engagement
with community members through established channels.
Example: involvement in the pilot activities of some of their
members (Italian Case with Giovanni Lariccia and the
association Impariamo ad Imparare)
Emergent networks Fluid membership, minimal structure and social
cohesion. Limited commitment. No common
infrastructure.

Lessons learned from D5.4
www.up2university.eu 15
• Reach a wider range of stakeholders, social networks and professional learning
communities as well as independent teachers and students to ensure sustainability of
the project.
• Provide formal and informal tools that teachers can leverage in order to develop their
students’ Up2U skills.
• Make more effective use of system-wide learning analytics to enable us to improve
tools, content and student feedback.
• Enable easier access to more diversified types of content that support development of
Up2U skills. Universities, SMC, CPD module 2, gateway stuff…
• Create more effective CPD with increased focus on establishing professional learning
communities.
Task Force
Unifying content and pilot activities
• Uniformity of content and activities in the pilot countries related to the Up2U
ecosystem in a similar way.
• Analyze and discuss the possibility of designing and implementing similar actions
in the form, structure the content and discuss the preparation of the general
course(s) on the Up2U ecosystem.
• Consider that it may be necessary to create content to implement a model course
uniformly.
www.up2university.eu 16
Task force
Engaging communities
• Formulate a plan to enrich Up2U’s usability by engaging additional
communities in Europe and involving them with the Up2u ecosystem
• These communities include national and international teacher’s
networks and organizations that support large numbers of schools, as
well as communities of students in both formal and non-formal
education programs.
www.up2university.eu 17
National & International
o National teacher’s organizations and networks.
o Organizations that promote pedagogy and
learning technologies for teachers and schools.
o Professional Learning Communities for
teachers.

communities on an international level
• Independent users (teachers and
students)
www.up2university.eu 19
Teachers’ CPD
Module 1: will be implemented in the
remaining pilot countries
Module 2
Teachers will implement what they
learned in Module 1 in their own
classrooms
Up2U will provide four types of on-
going support for the teachers
Module 3
‘Train the trainer’ module -
teachers who excel in the first two
Modules can continue to Module 3
www.up2university.eu 20
Moodle module distribution (Tools - OER
Resources and interactive Activities) including
external tools connected via “External tool” (LTI)
and H5P interactive multimedia tool (represented
as “Interactive content”)
Teachers’ CPD most engaged courses
www.up2university.eu 21
Top 15 most engaged courses, by students and teachers, teachers
active creating content and students active engaging with content.
Independent Users
§ Independent teachers -The platform needs to be sufficiently flexible to
support independent teachers whose schools have not yet affiliated with
Up2U.These include innovative teachers, early adopters, technology-
oriented teachers as well as pre-service teachers, who have displayed their
interest in different aspects of Up2U’s tools and content.
§ Independent students -Up2U can also benefit independent students who
require enrichment content to smooth their transition to university,
especially in ‘gateway’ subjects like mathematics and English as a Foreign
Languages.
§ Up2U needs to ensure that users can easily define their degree of
engagement with Up2U content and/or tools, and use as small or as large a
part of the ecosystem to meet their specific needs.
www.up2university.eu 22
Independent Users Statistics
www.up2university.eu 23
High numbers of ‘independent’
users were identified by Google
Analytics of the project’s website.
These users visited the Up2U
system from different countries,
from across Europe, Canada, US,
India and South Africa in addition
to the pilot countries.
Steps to Engaging Community
• Mapping different communities and organizations.
• (see slide #8 with its proposal of a “Community Dashboard”)
• Establishing contact and exploring possible collaboration with these
communities and organizations.
• Cooperating with different communities to establish which aspects of
Up2U ecosystem could interest them.
