The Italian EduHackathon online: what a success!

Great success for the first Italian EduHackathon organized and promoted by the Nexa Center for Internet and Society of the Politecnico di Torino. The event, because of the Covid-19 emergency, was held entirely online on 27-28 April 2020, experiencing a form of participatory distance event in which 20 teachers from different disciplines and from different universities (Politecnico di Torino, University of Genoa and eCampus University) took actively part. The teachers involved, divided into 5 working groups and lead by 5 experts and facilitators, collaborated intensively in the elaboration of 5 ideas (Collaborative learning, Il gioco dei Lego, Drag&Fly, Decameroom and Path to the Future), valorizing what they learned by following the EduHack online course and working together, with very good results, to the concrete development of projects and tools to improve teaching and learning in digital environments.

The EduHack Network lives!

Today was held the first webinar for the universities and institutions that decided to join the EduHack Network in recent months. Great participation and enthusiasm for the EduHack project and its purposes, which the Consortium partners have illustrated in detail focusing in particular on the training pilot paths experimented within it and on the several tools and services that the project makes available to its network, to then collect questions, suggestions, and ideas for future use by all the new members.

The EduHack Network is alive and ready to collect the participation of other universities and institutions interested in its approach and, more generally, in the development of innovative practices in the field of education.
