Move-IT

Project: Seminars Promoting Virtual Support for Mobile Students

Duration: 12 Months (1 November 2009 - 31 October 2010)

Coordinator: EuroPACE ivzw

Partners: Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (BE), Coimbra Group (BE)

Role EuroPACE: EuroPACE is responsible for the coordination of this project.

Summary: The growing success of Erasmus and other exchange programmes has revealed a new need for students to get more and better guidance and support. Blended Mobility, enabled by the use of educational technologies, and e-coaching methodologies, therefore are becoming increasingly popular as a complement to the traditional mobility programmes in order to support the mobile student of tomorrow in an efficient and effective way. The recently finished VM-BASE project (Minerva, 2006-2008) revealed many opportunities to support exchange students from a distance but it is only when all stakeholders in student mobility understand the benefits of organising virtual support for physical mobility programmes that they really will be integrated in mainstream education and become sustainable in the long term.
The Move-IT project will maximize the impact of the Erasmus programme by disseminating innovative initiatives, bringing together projects and potential users, thereby emphasizing the transfer and take-up of project results by new users and mainstreaming them into higher education practices.
Move-IT will trigger the discussion and keep blended and virtual mobility high on the agenda of the different European stakeholders.
The main aim of Move-IT is to promote the activities of former projects, attract participants to the events and make end-users interested in their outcomes:  2 seminars, 2 webinars, final Forum, the recordings of the seminars, website portal with Repository of Good Practices and Forum proceedings.
Not only the specific project activities will be promoted but also each related project individually:
-  the manuals of its predecessor project VM-BASE, including additional translations of their practical summaries
- the outcomes of other related projects (EPICS, e-MOVE, MoreVM, SUMIT, Being Mobile, Europe Now, Mobi-Blog, ESMOS, Let's Go, ...)
