A key focus is <\/a>the integration of Blended Education (BE) into university programmes to foster flexibility, enhance inclusivity, and democratise the educational process. The overarching goal is to embed BE models into curricula to better prepare students for the demands of the Digital Age and facilitate their integration into the regional and European labour markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the next 33 months, in collaboration with institutions such as University of Aleksander Moisiu Durr\u00ebs, HV H\u00f6gskolan V\u00e4st, TAMK UAS Tampereen Ammattikorkeakoulu, Universidad de Le\u00f3n (ULE), University of Mostar, University of Donja Gorica, Podgorica, University of Banja Luka, University of Fan S. Noli, University of Montenegro, University of Prishtina, and University of Gjakova Fehmi Agani, the project will pursue the following objectives:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

-To enhance the pedagogical and digital capacities of academic staff and students by incorporating innovative learning and teaching methods into WB HEIs for Blended Education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

-To redesign courses by integrating the Blended Education model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

-To promote the modernisation, inclusivity, and democratisation of effective learning environments by embedding blended learning and teaching approaches in relevant legislative documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
