    DigiFLed: Modernization of university education programmes in foreign languages by integrating information technologies PI The project aims to improve the quality of education at tertiary level by strengthening the FL-related curricula with ICTs in Ukraine. Its objectives are: 1) to address mismatches between the requirements of the labour market and the offer of HEIs; 2) to provide FL professionals with the necessary training in ICTs; 3) to foster cooperation between partner universities; 4) to strengthen the relationships between HEIs, schools and entrepreneurs; 5) to enhance visibility of Ukrainian language and culture internationally. The EU value added activities shall contribute to the wider objectives of EU innovation and digitalization policies through: 1) innovating curricula in terms of content (digital and transversal skills), mode (electronically mediated) and methods (blended learning, real-problembased teaching); 2) continuing Bologna-type reforms via credit system and quality assurance; 3) introducing new training schemes and hands-on training on developing ICT-enhanced FLT products; 4) developing and launching ICT-based courses and open online courses; 5) creating a network of partner universities' virtual centers. The target groups are FL students, university teaching staff and in-service FL professionals. The number of persons to benefit is about 1400. The planned results are as follows: 1) the gap between the requirements of the labour market and the offer of HEIs narrowed; 2) the university curricula in FL innovated; 3) the quality of educational systems improved; 4) students and teaching staff ICT-trained; 5) international links strengthened; 6) Ukrainian language and culture promoted internationally. The 10 outputs planned are of the following types: 1) improvement of digital skills of university staff, students and in-service teachers; 2) modernization of university curricula and equipment; 3) development of new courses and learning resources; 4) forming a network of partner universities’ virtual centers. 01/01/2024 31/12/2026 71277
