dc.description.abstractEvidence-based European and national policies are having a very large impact in the development of the Portuguese higher education system, helping shape institutional strategies and teaching and learning practices. This has been dem onstrated in the major transformational experiences undertaken by higher education institutions (HEI) in recent years. This phenomenon results mostly from the combined impact that changes in legisla tion, funding and quality evaluation have in institutional leadership decision-making and the academic communities’ perceptions. This push and pull effect is critical for accelerating educational change. On the one hand, policies are informed by emerg ing research trends and innovation developments. On the other hand, they redirect research efforts and commission innovation outputs, leading to the transformation of educational practices. This transfer of knowledge process is however challenging and is not always successful. An important factor which has influenced evidence-based institutional policies and practices in Portugal is international comparability. The feedback provided by international independent review bodies, most notably the OECD has consistently influenced Government policy and indirectly driven to institutional change, as well. In this chapter, an example of this complex process is analysed. We focus on how the European and national policies, based on research evidence, but also on inter national comparability of results, have contributed to accelerate the development of open and distance education in Portugal. In addition, we also look at how this effort has been put in test and affected both positively and negatively by the emergency response to the challenges of the Covid-19 crisis. We conclude with a prospective analysis on teaching and learning futures and how the expansion of open education and its convergence with adaptive learning and artificial intelligence will continue driving the digital transformation of Portuguese higher education practices.pt_PT
