Educators as Digital Learners
Social innovation (SI) and social entrepreneurship (SE) progressively acquires importance in higher education institutions and it has been introduced in a capacity building strategy towards a redesign of academic curriculum, namely in Latin American universities. With the purpose to advance knowledge-transfer on these topics a teacher training course (TTC) was designed and developed as part of the Students4Change Erasmus+ Project. The TTC was built with a twofold purpose: on the one hand, to share knowledge about SI and SE in an online course addressed to university professors, from the 10 Latin American universities, partners in the project; and on the other hand, to develop also didactic strategies and active learning in a collaborative approach, as well as different tools, in order to promote the integration of SI and SE subjects in academic curriculum. To achieve this purpose, 51 professors participated on the online course, divided in two stages, first in eight webinars during two months, and second, a final face-to-face meeting after the end of the online course.
