#47 Breaking barriers with Digital Higher Education

How to overcome barriers in digital higher education worldwide? My
podcast guests are three outstanding personalities, who set new
standards in their specific area of competence for - students who
visit different universities, - researchers who do international
research in different universities, - asylum seekers and refugees
who try to access universities and the job market in a new country
and - emigrants who decide wo work in another country. #Prof.
Carlos Delgado Kloos from the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid is
promoting the digital micro-credentials in Spain. For him this is
the future of education. After the successful digitalization of
knowledge, in his opinion the next steps forwards to a barrier free
higher education are the digitalization of diplomas and the
digitalization of community networks. #Aleksandra Zhivkovikj is a
project officer for the European Quality Assurance Register/EQAR.
EQAR sets European standards for synchronization of the Bologna
Process in Europe and beyond. She thinks that international
standards will be only possible when we learn to let go overcome
technologies and learn from each other while searching for the best
solutions for the future. #Navin Vasudev is program manager at the
South African Qualifications Authority. His latest project is to
facilitate access of refugees and asylum seekers to universities
and the job market. He postulates a mindshift. Digitalization is
about making people’s lives better. There must be a proof of impact
for all technologies. This live podcast was recorded during the
Moving Target Digitalisation Conference 2022 organized by the
German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) alongside its many partners
(Technical University of Munich, Hasso-Plattner-Institute for
Digital Engineering) in Berlin
