- Student´s digital transformation during higher education: entrance and exit digital profilePublication . Messias, Inês; Loureiro, AnaDigital technology has entered almost all areas of our daily lives to the point that we call our own society the Digital one. In the last 2 years with the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, that has forced most of us to work from our homes, connecting online, this aspect of growing more digital has accelerated. This transition to remote work reminded us, once more, of the need to empower students with the required digital skills, or e-skills, to enter the labour market that “demands highly skilled people” [1], to perform lifelong learning, and to help answering the call of the European Commission’s Digital Compass targets of developing digital competences until 2030. This paper is the first part of an ongoing research that aims to understand the Higher Education (HE) Students’ Digital Profile when they enter HE, and then assess if their existing digital profile is correspondent to the labour market´s ideal profile when they finish their studies. This research also and foremost aims to design a research model for Student’s Digital Profile, providing us with the opportunity to assess this on a yearly basis, to the students that enter HE and the ones that are finishing their studies, helping Higher Education Institutions perceive if their studies’ syllabus are adequate to empower students with the needed workforce digital competences each specific field of expertise requires. As this study is correspondent to the first part of this research, this paper will focus on the literature review and research methodology that will lead us to our first results
- Online communication and assessment practices during the Covid Pandemic: a study of the portuguese higher education students’ perceptionsPublication . Morgado, Lina; Paz, João; Pereira, Hugo; Loureiro, Ana; Messias, Inês; Cardoso, Paula; Paiva, Ana Maria Videira; Runa, Ana; Seco, Carlos; Mendes, Elizabete; Vieira, Márcia de Freitas; Oliveira, Nuno RicardoThis proposal is part of an ongoing research and presents the results on the perceptions and pedagogical practices experienced by students from various higher education degrees in Portuguese higher education institutions, during the period of social confinement determined by the Portuguese Government, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The main objective of the general research was to understand how Higher Education faculty and students experienced the digital transition to emergency education and the pedagogical practices adopted during the period. The research was based on a mixed methods approach and, in order to address the research objectives and describe the pedagogical practices implemented, specific instruments were developed for data collection. A questionnaire was developed, aimed at students, and interviews aimed at both students and faculty, focusing on technological and pedagogical dimensions, as well as the assessment of the experience. Data collection was carried out after the first lockdown, at the end of the first semester of 2020, and took place in eight higher education institutions. In this paper we will present a preliminary analysis of Questionnaire results related to two dimensions: online communication and assessment.
- Learning during emergency remote teaching in Portugal: higher education students' emotional snapshotPublication . Cardoso, Paula; Morgado, Lina; Paz, João; Mendes, Elizabete; Loureiro, Ana; Messias, Inês; Oliveira, Nuno Ricardo; Runa, Ana; Pereira, Hugo; Vieira, Márcia de Freitas; Paiva, Ana; Seco, CarlosThis chapter will address results of LE@D’s project “Teaching in Times of Emergency: Digital Transition,” which focused on the experience of rapid digital transition to an “emergency teaching,” a scenario quite different from distance education. Through a mixed methods approach, data was collected through an online questionnaire applied to students and videoconference interviews conducted with both higher education faculty and students. Participants in this research are students and faculty from eight Portuguese higher education institutions, four from universities (three public and one private) and four from polytechnic insti tutes (three public and one private), covering the regions of Lisbon and Tagus Valley, Alentejo and Algarve (Central and Southern Portugal). In this chapter, the authors present a preliminary analysis of the results obtained related to the psychological aspects experienced during this period, aiming at understanding the impact this shift has had on students’ cognitive adaptation and social and emotional processes.

- From face-to-face to online learning: designing a pedagogical model for an higher education contextoPublication . Loureiro, Ana; Messias, Inês; Rocha, Dina; Oliveira, Nuno RicardoNowadays, online and virtual platforms play a key role in contemporary society. Digital technology has become ubiquitous and indispensable to our daily routines, whereas the educational field is not an exception. Higher Education Institutions (HEI), due to the transition to emergency remote learning during CoViD-19 pandemia, had to change the way programmes were delivered. At this moment, this fact has triggered on the part of HEIs, decision-makers and the educational community in general, the need to invest in the development and redesign of Pedagogical Models, as a social responsibility of the institution, besides the legal compliance with the accreditation agencies, of courses and institutions that promote distance learning. Online learning became a methodology that was acquired and that, in some situations, prevailed on time. However, delivering online learning has its own specificities and requires certain pedagogical adaptations, to which, sometimes faculty is not aware of. According to Decree-Law 133/2019, which approves the legal system of higher education provided at a distance, certain criteria are required to be reflected in the HEIs' official documents on this teaching-learning modality. Therefore, the design and conception of a pedagogical model for online learning and distance education is crucial, since HEIs have the responsibility, regardless of the contexts, to provide quality and inclusive education. Many online programmes are available for training but HEI have a significant role in providing a formal and certified training, founded on criteria of quality, flexibility and effectiveness and based on virtual learning platforms, grounded on adapted and personalised pedagogical models. This paper aims to present the distance learning pedagogical model of a HEI which is being developed for a quality distance learning offer. An extensive literature review was carried out, which allowed to know different pedagogical models applied in diverse contexts. A comparison of the different models was made, according to a set of defined criteria that emerged from the needs diagnosed in the HEI. This resulted in a proposal for a pedagogical model, based on the following principles: quality and learning experience; ethics and academic integrity; digital inclusion and accessibility; open science and environmental sustainability; flexibility; and interaction. The model will be validated by eLearning and pedagogical experts before it can be implemented as a model in the HEI.

Morgado, Lina; Paiva, Ana; Paz, João; Loureiro, Ana; Runa, Ana; Afonso, Ana Paula; Seco, Carlos; Pereira, Hugo; Mendes, Elizabeth; Messias, Inês; Vieira, Márcia de Freitas; Rocha, Maria Antonieta; Spilker, Maria João; Oliveira, Nuno Ricardo; Cardoso, PaulaThe project MOv2EAD- Move to Distance Education: Emergency Teaching & Digital Transformation in Higher Education is a project integrated in Laboratory of Distance Education and eLearning (https://lead.uab.pt/mov2ead) started in the heart of the pandemic and with the involvement of 8 Portuguese public and private higher education institutions. Its goal was to understand the experiences of HE teachers and students and the digital transition of face to face teaching to Distance Learning (DL) during the pandemic and post-pandemic period. The results gathered a robust overview of the pandemics experience and relevant indicators to enhance the digital transformation of the HEIs involved. It also helped to develop new inter-institutional cooperation and produced several publication outputs and transformational actions in institutions.
- Digital open educational resources: teachers’ perceptions of the pedagogical implicationsPublication . Messias, Inês; Loureiro, AnaThe educational paradigm has been changing, impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, that made witness the field’s strengths, weaknesses, and lack of readiness making the transition from traditional classroom teaching to Online Remote Teaching and Learning (ORTL). While pre-pandemic studies state that teachers were willing to change, post-pandemic studies still show that teachers have a basic or medium level of digital competencies, still feeling insecure about how to effectively and efficiently use digital tools in their educational practices. The study presented here is being conducted at a Portuguese Higher Education Institution, to students of a master’s degree in Digital Education Resources, after they were trained in the development and implementation of digital Open Educational Resources (OER). This paper presents preliminary findings concerning teachers’ perceptions about the pedagogical implications of using OER after having received specific training on how to prepare, adapt, create, and implement them. This study methodology consisted of the application of questionnaires, at the end of the unit on Digital Educational Resources. The results are preliminary, concerning the first implementation of the questionnaires. Our goal is to consistently apply them, to gain a better understanding of the knowledge gained over the course, and positive and negative implications on their pedagogical experience.
