UNICollaboration - Projets INTENT - EVALUATE

Welcome to UNICollaboration.org, http://www.unicollaboration.org/ the website of a newly established, cross-disciplinary organisation for telecollaboration and virtual exchange in Higher Education. The organisation was launched at the Second Conference on Telecollaboration in Higher Education at Trinity College, Dublin.

UNICollaboration has two main objectives:

to promote the development and integration of telecollaborative research and practice across all disciplines and subject areas in higher education
to actively engage in awareness raising of telecollaboration and virtual exchange at institutional and policy making level

Actuellement les enseignants des universités européennes utilisent de plus en plus l'Internet pour mettre leurs étudiants en contact avec d'autres salles de classe autour du monde afin qu'ils puissent collaborer ensemble, développer leurs compétences en langue étrangère et acquérir de l'expérience dans les échanges interculturels.

Voici quelques uns des objectifs du Projet INTENT pour le développement de la télécollaboration en langues dans les établissements européens d'enseignement supérieur:

- Élaboration d' une enquête sur les projets de télécollaboration interculturels à travers l'Europe

- Mise en place d' une plate-forme virtuelle (http://www.uni-collaboration.eu) où les enseignants trouverront d'autres partenaires ainsi que les ressources pour accompagner leurs échanges et projets à venir.

- Développement de différents outils pour les enseignants intéressés par la télécollaboration en langues étrangères: un e-portfolio pour évaluer les projets des étudiants, des bases de données des tâches télécollaboratives et des documentations pour aider les professeurs dans leurs propres échanges.

- Réalisation d'ateliers régionaux et d'une conférence internationale sur le thème de la télécollaboration en langues dans l'éducation universitaire.

This experimentation will evaluate the impact of telecollaborative learning on student-teachers involved in Initial Teacher Education in the participating European countries and regions. Telecollaboration, also commonly known as Virtual Exchange, involves engaging trainee teachers involved in Initial Teacher Education in task-based interaction and collaborative exchange with fellow trainees in other locations through online communication technologies.

Commentaire de Monica le 26 juillet 2019 à 12:46: Congreso internacional de la ULE sobre formación del profesorado
Investigadores de 34 países del proyecto 'Evaluate' expondrán los intercambios virtuales como método pionero de formación
El proyecto europeo liderado por la ULE 'Evaluar y Promocionar la Telecolaboración en la Formación de Profesores' (Evaluate en inglés) que ha investigado durante tres años el impacto de los intercambios virtuales en la formación de profesores en varios países europeos, culminará el próximo mes de septiembre con la celebración del Congreso Internacional 'Los Intercambios virtuales y la formación del profesorado del siglo XXI'.

Aunque los resultados de este proyecto -financiado por la Comisión Europea con un presupuesto de 450.000€- ya fueron presentados por su coordinador, el profesor Robert O’ Dowd, ante la Comisión, la próxima cita científica servirá de punto de encuentro y de exposición de los avances del proyecto en torno a los intercambios virtuales como un método pionero para el sistema educativo de la educación superior.

Robert O’ Dowd destaca que los futuros maestros y profesores "necesitan estar preparados para las clases del mañana" y ese sentido reclama la importancia que tiene en el profesorado "las habilidades y competencias necesarias para desarrollar procesos de enseñanza y aprendizaje en diversos contextos culturales, para trabajar de forma interdisciplinar y para la utilización de las tecnologías de manera innovadora".

Un engranaje de enseñanza global en el que juegan un papel clave los intercambios virtuales "ya que es un método que involucra a los estudiantes en proyectos interculturales de colaboración online dentro de sus programas de estudio".

El congreso internacional –el cual se celebrará del 2 al 6 de septiembre en la Facultad de Económicas de la Universidad de León- incluye tres conferencias plenarias, 53 presentaciones paralelas, cuatro talleres y dos mesas redondas sobre los intercambios virtuales y su aplicación en la educación universitaria y, en particular, en contextos de formación docente.

Además, se contará con la participación de 160 investigadores y profesores universitarios de toda Europa, aunque también asistirán representantes de los ministerios de educación de España, Hungría, Alemania y Portugal, así como vicerrectores universitarios de un gran número de universidades europeas. En total, habrá 34 países que estarán representados en la conferencia, prioritariamente europeos aunque también se espera la presencia de congresistas procedentes de Estados Unidos, Brasil, Japón, Turquía y Corea del Sur.

El congreso se organiza en colaboración con UNICollaboration -la organización interdisciplinaria para los Intercambios Virtuales en la educación universitaria- y se contará con la presencia de otras dos iniciativas de Erasmus +: el proyecto KA3 Evolve y Erasmus+ Virtual Exchange.

El consorcio del proyecto europeo Evaluate ha contado con seis universidades europeas (España, Portugal, Hungría, Alemania, Italia y Reino Unido), cinco administraciones públicas de países europeos (incluyendo el Ministerio de Educación de España y la Junta de Castilla y León) y la red de universidades del Grupo Compostela de la que la Universidad de León forma parte.

El proyecto ha investigado la potencialidad de la "telecolaboración" como una herramienta docente que permite que a grupos de estudiantes locales llevar a cabo intercambios virtuales sobre aspectos y contenidos concretos de una asignatura con otros grupos de estudiantes en el extranjero utilizando para ello herramientas tecnológicas como Skype, Google+ o el correo electrónico.

El objetivo principal del proyecto 'Evaluate' se ha centrado en conocer el papel que desempeña el uso de estos intercambios virtuales entre futuros profesores y maestros en varios países de la Unión Europea en el desarrollo de sus competencias lingüísticas, interculturales y digitales, competencias claves para los profesores del siglo XXI.

Second call for papers for our International Conference on Telecollaboration in University Foreign Language Education. The conference will take place at the University of León, Spain on 12-14 February 2014. The deadline for registration and paper submission is 1 October.

The conference aims to look at the different ways in which telecollaboration can contribute to foreign language education at university level and how it can be integrated into universities’ internationalization programmes and policies. We welcome contributions which focus on academic research related to online intercultural exchange as well as practical reports of telecollaborative exchange projects taking place between universities around the globe. We are also particularly interested in hearing perspectives of student mobility coordinators, university management and other stakeholders in regard to how telecollaboration can make a more comprehensive contribution to university education

Colleagues can register and submit their proposal on the conference website: http://unicollaboration.unileon.es/registration.html

The conference is being organised as part of INTENT project, financed by the European Commission’s Lifelong Learning Programme. More information: here: http://www.scoop.it/t/intent-project-news
