It is customary for higher education e-learning specialists to meet four times a year to share their experiences – at EHTL’s summer and winter school, and additionally at meetings specifically aimed at higher education topics in spring and autumn. One such meeting took place on Thursday, April 20, at the Estonian Aviation Academy. In between meetings, we keep in touch in the Whatsapp group created at the beginning of 2023.
The topics of this meeting were cyber security, hybrid learning and plagiarism detection systems. In addition, TalTech instructional designers shared their experiences of visiting Japanese universities, and lecturer Killu-Laura Kiin from the Aviation Academy spoke about her experience using simulation software.
