Online education war still going on...

[Doru Pop]

Dear all,
as you can see from the link below, the global war on online education
is not over. What about EVA?

Dear Doru

You will get the stuff from Tampere soon.

From TAMK's point of view no administrative measures are needed to continue EVA over the spring semester. We will make our course available on  the EVA website if the website is available, and award the students with credits as usual.

We also welcome new universities to do the same. If further formal agreements are required, I believe TAMK will sign them.

Looking forward to get the autumn credits for TAMK students soon.

All the best

Cai

Dear Cai, I hope to get your materials as soon as possible, since I
cannot make the final report without them.
As far as I am concerned, I think the consortium agreement is still
needed, but there is no answer from any of the partners yet. Now that
my health is better, I will try to make a draft myself and send it to
everybody.
As far as your students are concerned, NO TAMK students did anything
for my course, so I cannot grade anybody from your University.
Best,
Doru

OK

You will have everything on your desk Monday morning I suppose.

As I said, TAMK is prepared to give a course this spring with or without a formal agreement. My students are also keen to participate in EVA courses. 
I think everything now depends on will other partners react.

I'm very busy now preparing an Erasmus Academic Network proposal, Rodica is working with it too. If bid successful cooperation between our universities will continue for at last three years. This Social University proposal is not a direct follow up of EVA because it does not involve students or a campus, but is indebted to EVA for ideas and experiences.

Best

Dear all,

as I have written before, Bicocca is not going to do anything and I would not ask the Rector anyway, given the problems I've had with the administration and the fact that only TWO Bicocca students registered for anyone of the wonderful opportunity presented by EVA courses

however, on a purely individual basis, since I am retired from Bicocca, I confirm what I have already written before: I am very willing to offer one course in the spirng under the hat of one of the universities, possibly another one in the fall - please let me know if anyone would like to go ahead with this arrangement

of the four courses Chiara and I taught, probably "Economic Models in the Media" has been the most innovative and was highly appreciated by the participants - also the final papers were quite good, showing motivation and willingness to read and discuss fairly difficult and highly varied material

best, Cesare
