Up2U vision The “Up to University” (Up2U) Project aims: to bridge the gap between secondary schools and universities by providing European schools with a Next Generation Digital Learning Environment (NGDLE) that helps high school teachers equip their students with the knowledge skills attitudes they will need to succeed at university
21st Century Skills for Academic Learners and Up2U approach The necessary and effective skills for the academic learner,are: • Critical Thinking & ProblemSolving • Communication & Collaboration • Information, Media & Technology Literacy • Self-Direction • Learning tolearn By using the appropriate teaching models, the learner may improve these skills and this process will even encourage the development of necessary digital competencesfor better and successful functioning in the technological world of the 21stcentury

Up2U Pilots methodologyContinuous Professional Development Module 1 – Introduction and orientation to main components of Up2U NGDLE Module 2 – Hands-on implementation and practice Module 3 – This Module follows a cascade or ‘train-the-trainer’ model
Lessons Learned from Differences between Pilot Countries • Central instance vs. multi-tenancy of Moodle: • Central : Greece, Italy, Poland, Portugal, Spain • Multi –tenancy: Hungary, Lithuania, CERN • CPD feedback input to MVP (Minimum Viable Product): • Inputs from the questionnaires used in all pilots • Access to types of learning content on Moodle: • Each pilot follows a similar way of access
Lessons Learned regarding the Up2U Platform from the various Data Sources • Teachers need to find an easy way to create content in the Learning platforms • A number of teachers have not included OERs into their courses • Teachers seem that do not use the statistical data that provided by Moodle • Tools need to be translated to the national languages
Lessons Learned from Learning Analytics Most of the tools cannot provide Learning Analytics data as xAPI statements Learning Locker cannot implement complex queries for extensive data correlations A unique way to identify an Actor in the system needs to be decided among the tool owners
Success stories • National SMCs worked on Module 2 firstly in Greece and Italy • Content incorporated to Learning Scenario template • Design questionnaire for collecting feedback from both teachers and students • Each pilot country can modify the scenario according to its needs • The proposed learning scenario has already started in February • The classes continued in March with students involvement
Success story in Greece March 2018-June 2019 • Central Up2U Instance • Greece has completed the first iteration of the CPD Module 1 and 2 • Second Iteration started with 140 teachers from 80 schools • Focus groups were created in Greece in the first two pilot classes • Results from the interviews with students were based on feedback regarding the platform, content and digital competences
Success story in Italy Central Up2U instance Weekly webinars to train the teachers 13 courses created. 72 students are working with their teachers on these courses Security Guidelines: flyers, webinars and Security Tuesday
Success story in Lithuania August 2018 – June 2019 Multi-tenant Moodle setup 135 schools have joined the infrastructure Two iterations completed with Online CPD Module 1 and 351 teachers enrolled
