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 training course at the Politecnico di Torino is starting

On January 20, the second pilot training course of the Edu-Hack project is officially started at the Politecnico di Torino, which will involve about 50 university professors and researchers coming from the Politecnico di Torino, the University of Genoa and the eCampus University, members of the project Network.

The training course will be structured in two phases: until February 28, participants will be able to follow the activities provided by the EduHack online course with the aim of familiarizing themselves with teaching resources and practices offered by the digital world. Then, on the next March 24, participants will be involved in the first Italian EduHackathon to personally experience these tools in the context of a creative and collaborative event, aimed at comparing and developing projects and ideas that could improve the teaching activity and the learning experience in digital environments.
