Contribution
Technology plays a vital role, and the use of equipment, technology, several applications has become an unavoidable part of everyday life, and ULLL is no exception. But who is leading the technology-driven future? Has technology made our lives easier and our activities more efficient? Digital skills vary across age groups and as a result, the use of digital tools is helpful for some and a burden for others. ULLL is a powerful tool that could also help bridge the generational digital skills gap.
The 57th EUCEN Annual Conference, organized by the University of Tartu (EE), brings together practitioners, researchers, policymakers and leaders in the field of lifelong learning to share evidence-based practices, explore innovative methods and technologies, and discuss development strategies for better use of technology in lifelong learning at universities.
Participants are invited to contribute to one of the three interconnected strands, which reflect the use of technology in the provision of high quality ULLL, including the use of technology in the planning and delivery of teaching and learning in various delivery formats, as well as digital administration and management throughout the entire ULLL life cycle.
Sub-topics
- Using technology in ULLL
Your contribution could be linked to good practices and digital solutions that support innovative and inclusive teaching and learning in ULLL or address the use of artificial intelligence in teaching and learning, including issues related to ethics, copyright, data protection, and responsible use.
- Designing and delivering high-quality ULLL
Your contribution could be linked to (re)design, implementation, and evaluation of high-quality ULLL, including online, hybrid and blended learning for diverse learner groups based on the needs of society or cover pedagogical approaches and challenges, inclusion, learner support, assessment, and the integration of both basic and transversal skills into ULLL provision.
- Unlocking potential for digital LLL administration and management
Your contribution could be linked to good practices in digital ULLL administration and management throughout the entire life cycle, including course development, marketing, digital credentials, learner data management, automation of processes, and interoperability across information systems and digital learning environments or how digital systems can support institutional strategy, quality assurance, and cross-institutional cooperation in ULLL.
