The partnership is working on 15 teaching modules for the Teachers Academy
A meeting dedicated to the European STEAMEdge project was held recently (17 and 18 June) in Madrid. The meeting saw the organisations and universities involved working closely together to define and consolidate the next stages in the development of the Teachers Academy, focusing in particular on the skills framework.
Work has begun on creating over 15 teaching modules based on the most advanced competence frameworks and artificial intelligence. The modules will integrate cutting-edge technologies such as AI, the Internet of Things (IoT) and the use of drones, combining them with an inclusive STEAM approach and project-based learning (Project-based learning). This work will also capitalise on the wealth of experience gained from previous major European projects.
Work has been carried out on the implementation of online assessment tools, skills mapping modules and checklists. These tools will be integrated into a virtual learning environment (VLE) to guide educators towards the modules and training pathways best suited to their needs, whilst simultaneously collecting valuable data for continuous monitoring.
Another key focus has been the definition of a framework for micro-credentials through the European Digital Credentials (EDC) system. The aim is to align training pathways with national regulations and produce a cross-border guide to facilitate the formal recognition of skills acquired across Europe.
The Madrid meeting proved to be a key moment in translating STEAMedge’s strategic vision into concrete tools capable of bringing innovation to schools and universities and preparing teachers and students for the technological challenges of tomorrow.
Project manager Annaleda Mazzucato took part in the proceedings on behalf of the Fondazione Mondo Digitale.
