It enters rapidly not only into homes, businesses and corporations but also into academia, which has to compete with commercial forms of education. The fast adoption of online learning has been greatly helped by the pandemic and enforced social distance. In addition, today’s generation of students, especially at technical universities, is increasingly demanding with regard to teaching materials: they expect dynamism, a digital approach and very good visual quality. All of this means that higher ed teachers (with special focus on STEM) need to acquire new skills very quickly. Among the most important competencies are: methodical, design and technical skills to be able to design online education and create e-learning courses at a high quality. Help is at hand from researchers at the Gdańsk University of Technology who, in collaboration with the Austrian University of Applied Sciences FH JOANNEUM Gesellschaft mbH in Graz and the Italian Universita Politecnica delle Marche in Ancona, and with support from SEA – the Polish Academic E-learning Association, have set out to develop practical materials and multimedia resources to help teachers across Europe design engaging online education for their students. You can find a full list of great experts who contributed to creating this book at the end of this publication. In The Big Book you will find 36 chapters, hundreds of practical tips, teaching scenarios, a multitude of proven tools, practical advice and the latest trends in education. You can’t miss it!
