Preparation meeting about the upcoming 3is Workshop in Girona: Learning and teaching innovations in Higher Education

The Online Preparation Meeting for the upcoming 3is Workshop on Learning and Teaching Innovations in Higher Education, provided a general framework and insights into the evolving landscape of higher education. The meeting brought together partners to discuss the need for change in traditional training approaches, focusing on the rise of active methodologies and the significant gap often found between teaching practices and assessment methods.

A central theme of the discussion was the shift from conventional, lecture-based learning toward more engaging, hands-on methodologies. Participants delved into the reasons behind this shift, noting that traditional teaching, while structured, often lacks the dynamic engagement that promotes deeper understanding. In contrast, active learning fosters participation, encouraging students to take ownership of their learning. As mentioned, “Students in active learning are doing things, not just listening.”

The upcoming workshop in Girona promises to be a platform for furthering these discussions, offering educators a chance to explore new approaches that make learning not just informative but transformative. This collaborative event will provide tools, strategies, and case studies on how active methodologies can reshape teaching and assessment to meet the needs of modern learners and educators alike.

We look forward to seeing participants in Girona as we work together to advance innovation in Higher Education.
