Mobility in a digital time: Virtual mobility as an alternative for or a compl...Ilse Op de Beeck
Virtual mobility involves using information and communication technologies to facilitate international collaborative experiences in teaching and learning. It provides an alternative or complement to physical student mobility. Virtual mobility activities can help prepare students for physical exchanges, enable virtual internships, or internationalize parts of courses through online collaboration between institutions. Success requires thorough planning, appropriate technologies, intercultural skills development, and support for students. Virtual mobility is not a substitute for physical mobility but offers different ways to gain international experiences.

This presentation reflects on recent developments in the adoption of technology enhanced learning (TEL) tools within the UK higher education sector - in particular the rise of student-controlled and creative technologies to promote information, knowledge-sharing and networking in learning and teaching activities. Current generations of students are now arriving on campus with the expectation that their technologies will seamlessly interconnect with university services and support a flexible and personalised learning experience - engaging them in collaborative knowledge creation activities and developing their learning as producers of ‘content’ (Generation ‘C’). Drawing on the most recent sector-wide research (Jisc, 2017; UCISA 2018), this paper discusses the impact of these technological developments on academic practice – specifically the scope that learning technologies now present for innovation in the delivery of the taught curriculum.
DisCo 2013: Danyliuk and Paschenko - Virtual Mobility of University Teaching...8th DisCo conference 2013
Globalization through the mediation of information and communication technologies influences greatly higher education (appearing transnational education, great amount of alternative providers of higher education and runaway staff mobility in virtual space). Virtual mobility attracts attention of politicians and experts in the field of education (“The Bologna Process and the European Higher Education Area” – Salamanca Convention, 2001, includes an idea of joint European approach to virtual mobility and transnational education; “Mobility for Better Learning” – Mobility strategy 2020 for the European Higher Education Area, 2011) and scientists (National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine project “International Education on the Basis of Flexible Centers of Distance Technologies and Computer-Tele-Communicational Networks”). Problem of mobility is one of the most disputable among higher education researchers in Europe. Development of virtual academic mobility transforms modern education into a social institution which could provide different educational services to humans for their lifelong learning. Modern situation demands attention to distance education development through creation of specialized informationaleducational courses and areas of e-learning, development of e-libraries and databases, support of “network lecturers” and e-courses developers. It should stimulate university staff media-educational training they could project educational environment using modern information technologies. Our task was to investigate Ukrainian academicians’ experience and e-competences necessary for participation in virtual mobility processes (sample – 710). The instruments of measurement and diagnostics were a specially constructed questionnaire and a method of self-evaluation of ecompetences necessary for effective participation in virtual academic mobility.

Virtual mobility: an alternative for or a complement to physical mobility?Ilse Op de Beeck
This document discusses virtual mobility as an alternative or complement to physical student mobility. It defines virtual mobility as technology-supported international collaborative learning experiences. Virtual mobility can support physical exchanges through online orientation, language learning, and alumni networks. It can also internationalize courses through virtual internships, joint projects, and blended learning. Successful implementation requires consideration of technology, pedagogy, and organization. Virtual mobility is not a replacement for physical mobility but offers new ways to experience international learning.
This small publication on Virtual Mobility summarizes the main conclusions and outcomes of the VMCOLAB project.

The document discusses different paths of integrating technology enhanced learning into university studies. It begins by outlining some of the major technological innovations in European higher education in recent decades, including open educational resources, massive open online courses, and learning analytics. It then discusses challenges around opening education through open management, transparency, participation, and embracing digital values. Finally, it provides examples of innovative scenarios that Vytautas Magnus University has implemented, such as developing open educational resources and open online courses, as well as organizing virtual mobility modules between international institutions.
This document discusses a research project on using learning analytics (LA) to enhance teacher decision making. The project is funded by the European Social Fund. It investigates how LA can be applied as a metacognitive tool to support reflective teaching practices. Interviews with experts in the field revealed that for LA to be effective, administrators, teachers, and students must all be actively involved. Teachers can use LA to recognize student behavior patterns, plan curriculum, and make real-time adjustments based on data. But LA only provides data - teachers must reflect on the data to improve teaching and learning.

The document discusses innovations in technology enhanced learning (TEL) and their integration into higher education institutions. It describes how Vytautas Magnus University in Lithuania has integrated various TEL innovations over time, including establishing an Innovative Studies Institute and adopting an open-source learning management system called Moodle. The university now offers many online and blended programs and sees about 85% of its courses using the Moodle platform, which supports international students from over 130 countries.
This document discusses the challenges that teachers face with innovations in education. It notes that innovations like digitalization and online learning develop quickly, making it difficult for education organizations to allow enough time for experimentation. Teachers are challenged to constantly learn new skills and adapt to changes. The document proposes that the EDEN network establish an open professional collaboration approach to provide mutual support for teachers undergoing transformations in their competencies and roles. This would help teachers meet the challenges of innovations in education.
This document provides information about the EDEN Oldenburg RW9 conference taking place from October 4-6, 2016 in Oldenburg, Germany.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

13. The purpose of virtual mobility
Why do we need that?
Brain storm
16. VM components (by MOVINTER)
1. International student groups - students from different countries who mainly study in their
local (chosen) university with their fellow students and without going abroad to study for long
periods of time; for those students, VM is a way to internationalise.
2. Interactivity & Communication between students and teachers of different countries
through ICT – interaction an communication among groups of students/teachers based in
different countries to discuss diversity depending on national/local/contextual elements.
3. International teaching groups - cooperation in designing, implementing, course
programme evaluation.
4. Multicultural exchange (as a key objective to produce added value) - the multicultural
[intercultural, see further on] component constitutes an integral part of the concept of Virtual
Mobility and justifies the contribution from different countries.
5. Use of appropriate technological solutions - choices that support the different types of
Virtual Mobility.
6. Joint choice of the subject to be studied through VM - in practically any subject in which
comparisons from different national contexts may enhance the value of curricula and prepare
students for an international social, economic and professional environment.
7. Joint curricula design - which adds value in terms of reciprocity and mutual benefits
between the HEIs in the different countries.
8. Joint production of learning resources - or any activity easing communication, learning
and the intercultural exchange (reflective tools, non-interactive tools, collaborative tools,
communication tools, social networking tools).
9. Joint titles - wherever possible, based on a long term confidence relationship.
10. Mutual confidence relationship - the originating vision stresses that the choice of subjects
and the design of the learning experience should reflect the advantages of a multi/inter-
cultural approach.
