Edvance
Digital Education Hub - Higher Education
The Edvance project, the first Digital Education Hub for higher education dedicated to Advanced Digital Culture in Italy, is a project born within the framework of the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR), Mission 4 “Education and Research”. Led by METID - Politecnico di Milano, Edvance sees the participation of 17 of the best universities and AFAMs in Italy that have started to collaborate with the ambitious goal of creating a unique digital ecosystem by integrating the educational offerings of all the partner institutions involved.
Thus, the Edvance platform was born, with over 200 free online courses, enriched by micro-credentials and open badges. This offer aims to support students, teachers and workers in developing advanced digital skills, with a focus on the areas of’Artificial intelligence, data management, digital sustainability and transdisciplinarity.
The project focuses on the production of High-quality MOOCs and blended learning, integrating online and face-to-face education to redefine the standards of digital education.
Through the use of artificial intelligence and the integration with humanities and creative disciplines, Edvance enriches the interactivity and effectiveness of teaching, reducing drop-out rates and offering new resources for academic and career paths.
Edvance promotes modular training, enabling students and workers to build tailor-made routes. Through micro-credentials, it is possible to accumulate specific skills that meet the needs of the labour market and integrate them to obtain formal certifications.
