Course organization and structure
Studying in a face-to-face and online workgroup allowed participants to test a hybrid mode training format and reach a broader understanding of the ENHANCE Alliance targets. Sessions include both theoretical and practical parts primarily focused on specific daily goals:
– Day 1, International engagement, and alliance belonging: the ENHANCE feeling
– Day 2, ENHANCE bottom-up innovation in university administration
– Day 3, ENHANCE student participation and inclusion.
This Staff Week was designed to share a common understanding of the ENHANCE Alliance; therefore, a tailor-made approach towards the hybrid future of the European Higher Education and Research Area is used here.

The course assessment included various formal and informal tools ranging from questionnaires, focus groups discussions, one-minute papers, among others. Each course participant suggested several daily learning outcomes aligned with sessions taught and will undergo continuous assessment (individual daily pass/fail mark awarded by course tutors) gradually transformed into the final evaluation and certification.
