w e l c o m e T o t e a L 2.O
The TEAL2.O project is implemented by a consortium of 12 institutions from Sri Lanka, India, Thailand, Italy, Norway, Romania, and Bulgaria with financial support from Erasmus+ programme of European Union. Improving access to Science and Technology higher education is top priority in the participating Asian countries. Increasing Gross Enrollment Ratios and reaching underrepresented and disadvantaged groups require investing serious effort into Open and Distance Learning (ODL). Yet, ODL and increased access, especially in resource-poor institutions, pose many quality-related challenges resulting from shortage of expertise, technological equipment, collaboration and internationalization. We aim to contribute to addressing these challenges and facilitate access to higher education through a comprehensive technological solution. The TEAL2.O project will develop and deploy an open access platform for technology-enabled learning environment that will facilitate the design and delivery of quality ODL in Science & Technology higher education.
