We are pleased to inform you that the Montenegrin Higher Education Reform Experts team (HERE), in collaboration with the SPHERE network and the National Erasmus+ Office in Montenegro, organized the third TAM (Technical Assistance Mission) seminar on “Digital Teaching and Learning” at the Electrical Engineering Faculty of the University of Montenegro over the past two days.
The event was inaugurated by Vanja Drljević, director of the National Erasmus+ office in Montenegro, and professor Dijana Vučković from the University of Montenegro, a HERE team member and the seminar’s initiator. The keynote speaker was Antoine Rauzy, Program Manager for Digital Education at France’s National Research Agency.
Recognizing the global significance of digital teaching and learning, the seminar provided a valuable platform to explore the implementation of digital practices in education. It offered insights into the benefits and drawbacks of digital versus traditional teaching methods, shared best practices, and presented various digital services at the University of Montenegro (by Balša Femić from the Information System Center of University of Montenegro). A panel discussion examined the digitalization process at Montenegrin universities, featuring prof.
