Six HEIs-Teacher Education (HEIs-TE) and six Educational Technology Designers (ETDs) are co-creating an evidence-based pedagogical model for Video-Supported Collaborative Learning. Culture for video-based e-learning and knowledge building will be established through experimentation in teacher education and VET-students in practice.
ViSuAL develops evidence-based hands-on pedagogy to utilize video-supported collaborative learning in teacher education and VET-schools. It also develops hands-on principles for a sustainable HEIs-TE and ETDs co-creation partnership. Last but not least ViSuAl develops pedagogical design principles and workable pedagogy practices for ETDs to enhance use of their products in education.
In the long run, ViSuAL will contribute to meeting the modernization needs of European HEIs in advancing digital skills for learning and teaching. Due to the practical nature and provision of workable practices for transforming education, teacher will embrace the experimentations carried out in ViSuAL in local level and spread it trough their institutes. The insights gathered during the co-creation process have an impact for the innovation capacity of the companies in partnership with their stakeholders, customers and the HEIs as researchers, facilitators and design partners of the companies. The producst and publications will be availbale as open source.
