Call for Papers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The growth of MOOCs has helped to make institutions, IGOs, governments, accreditation organisations and societies at large more aware of the possibilities of MOOCs for open and online education in general.  MOOCs and digital continuous education\/training are a flexible and scalable solution for a transnational, truly European response to the needs of the economy across Europe. They can keep innovative knowledge and skills of the workforce up to date and anticipate the careers of tomorrow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

MOOC platforms will contribute to regional, national and European policies for education and training, employment and growth proposing strategies for change and action plans. Supportive policies are however a determinant factor in the uptake of MOOCs at various levels. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The policy track sessions will address the extraordinary potential of MOOCs in addressing European challenges related to the modernisation of higher education institutions as well as for coping with more general political and social issues, such as labour market challenges. This includes HEIs policies, supporting policies of IGOs and governments, conditions\/possibilities to include MOOCs for credits in short programs and traditional degrees. There is also a growing need for additional new applications of MOOCs for K-12, high school, lifelong learning, CPD and professional training. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
