INVITE Educational Platform

Developing Competencies and Innovative Designs for International Virtual and Blended Modalities (INVITE) aims to improve existing and inspire new modes of international virtual and blended methodologies in higher education. The project tackles different layers of current challenges of digitalization that are part of the second Digital Education Action Plan, a renewed European Union (EU) policy initiative. The shared vision of the agenda is to enable high-quality, inclusive, and accessible digital education in Europe and to support all Member States of the EU in linking their education and training systems to the stage of digitalization.  Furthermore, the INVITE project aims to create a strong educational basis for organizing high-quality and meaningful international virtual and blended academic programs and modules. Its focus lies on “student-centered” and active-learning approaches as the foundation of teaching and learning.

Along this line, the INVITE Educational Platform open interactive digital ecosystem was created to host action-training programs and to support the organization of international competition hackathons aiming to bring together institutions and teachers in the design of innovative international virtual and blended collaborations.
