As part of a delegation of Ukrainian partner universities, representatives of Kherson State University took part in the best practices training at Masaryk University (Brno, Czech Republic) from April 22 to 26 under the DigiUni: Digital University — Open Ukrainian Initiative program. The first vice-rector, professor Serhiy Omelchuk, associate professor Natalya Kuzovova, and teacher Anastasiia Volianiuk studied the methodology of developing course content for the digital platform from KhSU.
It should be noted that the DigiUni project "Digital University - Open Ukrainian Initiative" is a significant initiative aimed at supporting higher education in Ukraine in the conditions of war and post-war reconstruction. At the moment, this is the largest Erasmus+ project ever implemented in Ukraine. The team includes 10 Ukrainian universities in cooperation with foreign partner universities and associations of EU member states from France, Germany, Spain, the Czech Republic and Poland.
DigiUni aims to create a single digital educational platform in Ukraine, which will provide continuous, high-quality, inclusive and transparent education for everyone, regardless of the location of those who want to study. The project plans to use existing digital innovations in education and develop a clear paradigm for the implementation of future innovations. In addition, the project aims to support students who continue their studies in Ukraine during the military conflict, and to strengthen ties between Ukrainian universities, their students and teachers who were forced to leave the country. In addition, the project is aimed at popularizing Ukrainian studies and attracting foreign students and Ukrainians living abroad to Ukrainian education in general.
During the one-week training, the representatives of KSU immersed themselves in the methodology of developing courses for the DigiUni digital platform, discussed the pedagogical aspects of effective interactive online learning, got acquainted with SIMU - the simulation center of Masaryk University, which is the most modern simulation center in Central Europe. The project participants also learned more about the creation of electronic educational content - interfaces and tools, delved into the issue of the availability of online educational materials, aspects of support for teachers and students, including practical tools for online learning, practically worked with virtual activity technologies.
