The main goal of the METHODS project is to raise the competencies of individual students to become active members of the knowledge society by enhancing their learning process and providing them with 21st Century competencies to become autonomous and active learners.
The project aims to improve the quality of teaching and learning at the partner universities through incorporating technological tools in consistence with pedagogical best practices and building the capacity of the universities to evaluate, develop and design e-curricula to be available on an open accessible portal.
To achieve this objective, the project will support establishing a national center in Jordan (at the University of Jordan) and Palestine (at Birzeit University) to function as a hub for utilizing best practices in information and communications technology education in both countries.
These centers will facilitate establishing diverse clusters (pool of staff members from target disciplines in engineering and science faculties with multimedia and educational specialists interested in a certain discipline) from partner country universities. Educational specialists will review the proposed learning material in order to ensure compatibility with the standards, and multimedia designers will design the interfaces, activities, presentation, layout and animation included in the e-curricula.
