Realising the potential of quality in learning and teaching in higher education in Europe

Abstract

The High Level Group is examining the barriers to and potential of the wider introduction of new modes of learning and teaching and will publish its report in mid-2014. It will shed a light on the most recent developments in the digital age and its consequences for higher education systems and institutions.
Technology is not a panacea for structural challenges in our higher education systems, but used intelligently, it can help to address them. It can serve to adapt teaching and learning to provide graduates with employable skills to boost jobs and growth. Its potential to free teachers and students alike from the ‘old ways’ of doing things, to move from transmission of knowledge to co-creation of knowledge, can also boost the innovation potential of higher education.
