On April 24–25 of this year, a study visit was conducted to the Autonomous University of Madrid, Spain, within the framework of the Erasmus+ “eCAMPUS” project titled “Fostering Socially Distanced and Inclusive on Campus Education in Armenian HEIs.”
The aim of the visit was to present the host university’s best practices to representatives of consortium member institutions and to discuss key issues related to the development and implementation of digital competencies in Armenia’s higher education system within the Erasmus+ framework.
During the visit, participants took part in thematic workshops where they discussed strategic approaches to digitalization in higher education. Representatives of Armenian universities visited various departments of the university, where they got acquainted with the processes for developing digital skills among faculty members, student-centered teaching tools, and the implementation models of hybrid learning environments.
A particularly important aspect was the discussion around enhancing digital literacy and continuous professional development programs for faculty, implemented by the university in response to the rapidly changing demands of the educational environment.
The visit highlighted the importance of collaboration, especially in the context of university digitalization, the integration of inclusive educational methods, and the modernization of learning processes — all of which will contribute to the effective implementation of the key objectives of the “eCAMPUS” project.
