Project Management Plan

University Pedagogy, mostly enhanced through the operation of Centres for Teaching and Learning (CTL), is a main pillar for the implementation of the European Higher Education Area. MAGNET project aims to develop a network for University Pedagogy in the West Balkans States, through know-how transfer from countries that have CTLs under operation to all partner countries. Main objectives include the know-how transfer, the foundation of CTLs, the production of educational material and the creation of a sustainable network BalkaNetUP (Balkan Network for University Pedagogy).

BalkaNetUP - (Balkan Network for University Pedagogy) Platform

A significant initiative of the MAGNET project is the establishment of the Balkan Network for University Education (BALKANETUP). This network aims to foster synergies, share best practices, and establish joint research initiatives to enhance policies and practices for the development of university education in the Western Balkans -and internationally. The BALKANETUP network connects HEIs, CTLs, scholars, and experts to advance teaching practices through shared resources, training, and research. BALKANETUP is a learning community for academics and scholars. By leveraging digital tools and fostering professional development, it supports educators in integrating modern techniques into their teaching. Ensuring its sustainability relies on expanding membership, forming partnerships, and maintaining a commitment to continuous improvement, positioning the BALKANETUP as a key driver of educational innovation in the region.

Development of MOOC’s

Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) developed by the 12 consortium partners in the MAGNET project play a pivotal role in achieving its overarching goals. These courses are specifically designed to address the diverse and evolving needs of higher education institutions, focusing on enhancing teaching and learning practices. The MOOCs are tailored to faculty and teaching staff, offering structured programs that include seminars, workshops, and lectures presented as modular learning units. These units provide in-depth training on critical areas such as curriculum and teaching design, assessment methodologies, fostering critical thinking and soft skills, and the integration of ICT, digital tools, and virtual environments into pedagogical practices.

D3.3
Series of Workshops / Lectures / Seminars

The Series of Workshops / Lectures / Seminars deliverable documents a range of teaching development programs conducted within the framework of the MAGNET project. These programs were designed to support faculty and teaching staff in higher education by enhancing their competencies in curriculum design, assessment strategies, critical thinking cultivation, soft skills development, and the integration of ICT and digital tools in teaching and learning.

D3.4
Piloting & Road-Mapping the Establishment of Teaching and Learning Centers in Higher Education

Academics perceive teaching as a core aspect of their multifaceted professional duties. However, there is a recognized need to enhance teaching practices. Faculty members identify "good teaching" as being characterized by thorough preparation, extensive knowledge of the subject matter, effective communication with students, experience, ICT skills, and an inherent aptitude or "talent." Despite this, the importance of formal training and a foundational background in teaching and learning often receives less emphasis. Academics express a willingness to improve their teaching effectiveness through professional development initiatives, collaboration with colleagues, and the creation of networks to exchange ideas and best practices. Centers for Teaching and Learning (CTLs) are institutional units dedicated to enhancing teaching effectiveness, supporting faculty development, and improving student learning outcomes. They provide resources, training, and consultations aimed at fostering pedagogical excellence. CTLs function as hubs for professional learning, bringing together educators committed to continuous improvement
