Objectives and Activities
It is aimed at the implementation of ICT in teaching and learning through the creation of a co-operative network of universities with the objective to provide a wide range of ICT supported offerings in teaching and learning: a “European Virtual Campus” (EVC). The EVC is used for exchange of courses, sharing of courses and joint development of programmes and courses. Its general goals are:
- to promote the use of ICT as tools for improving teaching and learning in higher education,
- to capture the market for life-long learning on a university level,
- to enhance and develop the co-operation of the EUNITE universities in these fields.
In achieving these goals EUNITE wants to develop the following opportunities for co- operation:
- the innovation potential of ICT for on-campus higher education,
- new ways for open and distance learning,
- the internationalisation of learning programmes,
- enhanced inter-university networking in the provision of courses and programmes/curricula, and the production of learning materials.
