KA-2 SHUTTLE

OBJECTIVES
Adapting to technological change and evolving demands of the labor market, HE pedagogies must evolve to activate HE students. HEIs need to reshape course and task design and offer multidimensional learning opportunities for all. The project promotes innovative teaching aligned with Education 5.0, integrating generative AI as pedagogical tools, fostering inclusive leadership skills, redesigning HE learning environments, creating courses, and training educators able to guide and motivate others.

IMPLEMENTATION
Redefine pedagogical digital framework for Education 5.0 while embracing AI-assisted pedagogical potential; develop and co-teach inclusive HE courses on visionary leadership skills integrating AI as a pedagogical tool; create and pilot interactive multimedia open access resources more suited to younger generations, including e- and m- mlearning content; hold transnational trainings, workshops, blended programs and a conference for educators, students and stakeholders.

RESULTS 
A pedagogical framework, 4 national and 1 transnational reports on transformative pedagogies, including AI assisted tools, a set of 5 modular interactive e-books on leadership skills accessible as OERs, 5 certified or approved modular courses, consisting of approx. 40 modules in total, activating employability and leadership skills, 2 transnational teacher and student

MAIN PRIORITIES
HE: Stimulating innovative learning and teaching practices
ADU: Improving the competences of educators and other adult learning and guidance Staff
Education 5.0 concerns innovative pedagogical uses of digital technologies, including the use of AI-assisted scenario planning for inclusive and visionary leadership, in education with social and human responsibility, and inclusion. It develops technology-based educational contents and practices, through interactive (and immersive) educational experiences capable of engaging learning styles of young learners, while addressing important security, safety, health, and ethical standards to improve human life. It can further develop students’ employability skills and provide upskilling given their lack of technological know-how or understanding of Industry 4.0. In a nutshell, Education 5.0 harnesses digital transformation into a tool for social transformation and inclusion.

SHUTTLE engages with Education 5.0 through the perspective of innovative teaching and learning for activating employability and job-related skills. Innovation in this area constitutes a real challenge for educators, especially those that do not invest in the potential of digital technologies in education, including AI, student-centered collaborative pedagogies, or participatory and interdisciplinary approaches. Therefore, the priority for SHUTTLE is the stimulation of innovative learning and teaching practice through upskilling pedagogies and technologies in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) that are multidimensional, inclusive, as well as oriented towards responsive learning environments to learners’ needs. This cannot be done without addressing digital transformation as a central tenet of inclusive multicultural contemporary societies that impacts not only HE learning environments but also employability and job-related skills. That is why the project develops a pedagogical framework, course materials, stimulating learning environments, methods, and tools with which to practice inclusive and transformational leadership and transversal skills. Throughout our approach to future-proof leadership training, the project experiments with the use of generative AI for scenario planning to create anticipatory visions and stories of the future; this supports strategic and innovative leadership not only in the world of work but also in education. HE staff too need to learn about and recognise the importance of investing in the creation of technology-based educational contents and of rethinking job-related skills for Industry 4.0 as part of their interaction with students and other stakeholders. Consequently, by targeting university students with different needs and at different stages of the academic careers, and/or in need of upskilling, and HE educators, the innovative learning and teaching practices and addressing digital transformation brought by the project builds a capacity for multidimensional development of teaching practice.
