DEFEP working group meeting: summary of results and plans for the future
Uman National University of Horticulture hosted a meeting of the DEFEP working group with Olena Filimonova, project coordinator from Petro Mohyla Black Sea National University. The meeting summarised the results of the project’s tasks, including sociological research and analysis of European practices in the field of distance education. The DEFEP team developed regulations for the regulation of distance education, which became the basis for the internal regulations of the partner universities. The participants discussed the research results presented in the monograph and reports and considered further steps to improve the methodology of distance education, etc.
They also discussed the establishment of distance learning laboratories, where modern equipment and software have already been purchased. At the same time, meetings are held with employers and stakeholders, which will help to update educational programmes and curricula for more effective training of students. The results of the project are actively discussed at scientific conferences and round tables, ensuring a constant exchange of experience and knowledge between all project participants.
The importance of further cooperation between the partner universities within the project was also emphasised for the successful implementation of the objectives.
