Cooperative E-learning Platform for Industrial

Innovation

Building a community of digital learners in university and industry

Digital nature of education

The universities face two challenges that are big opportunities at the same time. One is the digitalization and communication paradigm. The students are digital natives and use technologies all the time while most universities practice the traditional pattern of teaching. In response to their needs, universities need to adapt learning to Millennials. Another challenge is the necessity to link the education with the practice, integrate the reality of professional innovation activities to the context of education according to the demand of industry.

Thus, the best university of tomorrow is one that is able to orchestrate the wide diversity in the supply of teaching materials, project-based learning in international multidisciplinary teams and real needs of industry and society.

This project is contributing to scale-up of flipped and e-learning in the field of Industrial Innovation.

Blended learning in Industrial Innovation

CEPHEI aims to increase the digitalization, internationalization and visibility of Industrial Innovation Education in the world scope with blended learning approaches both in Partner country universities and EU.

Goal achieved by:

1. Benchmarking, coordination and synchronization of the requirements and contents of Industrial Innovation. Standardization of its e-learning elements.

2. Turning at least 50% (60 ECTS) (or equivalent in partner universities) of Industrial Innovation education into the blended form

3. Building up the blending Labs (B-Labs)at partner universities, knowledge and technology transfer

4. Launch of the consortium platform for Open education in Industrial Innovation that connects teachers, students and industry/business (at least 100 industrial and business partners).

CEPHEI based learning model

The project results in the new model for cooperation between academia and enterprise in the field of Industrial Innovation through blended learning realised through the formed standards of blended learning education for Industrial Innovation field with the experts in the field.

What does it mean to be CEPHEI Industry partner?

The core idea of CEPHEI Project is to link universities to industry. Mutually beneficial links between universities and industries can support students in acquiring the skills and knowledge they need for the workplace. Linking with industries provides many benefits such as:

research into commercially viable products or processes;
increased prestige;
profit through royalties;
shifting the responsibility and cost of in-house training from industries to universities;
providing authentic experiences;
preparing students for the corporate world;
increasing the employability of a university’s graduates;
creating a talent pathway between universities and companies.
