A PROGRESS REPORT FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF ARTS IN BELGRADE (UAB)

In the past period, the project team of the Erasmus+ MAGNET project was especially dedicated to the establishment of the Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL). Regarding this, during the summer months and in September, several meetings were held with the Rector and the management of UAB, in order to create the legal framework for the constitution of a new organizational unit at UAB. Presence of UAB project team members at the General Meeting in Tirana was of particular importance. Professor Gordana Karan and project officer Andjela Russo shared their experiences, as well as positive practices of establishing CTLs in partner institutions.
The proposal for the establishment of the CTL was discussed and submitted to the bodies of UAB. The changes of the Statute have to be approved by the Statutory Committee, the Senate and the Council of the UAB. The completion of the whole procedure is expected in the beginning of November. In the meantime, the project team is strongly committed to the conception of the CTL activity plan, in accordance with the objectives of MAGNET project. Academic members of the project team – Prof. Gordana Karan and Prof. Ivana Drobni – have been focused on the preparation of the first MOOC course, with literature and other materials.
Regarding communication and dissemination of the project, all information on the project’s activities and progress was presented to the bodies of UAB. During September, the Deans Board and the Senate were informed in detail about the General Meeting in Tirana and the key steps that will be taken to establish the CTL. Information about the meeting in Tirana was published both in the Serbian and English version on UAB website, as well as on the social media Instagram and LinkedIn.
