In October of 2022, the PDS team convened in Waterford, Ireland, for a pivotal project meeting focused on the upcoming revisions and expansions of the MOOCs. This meeting marked the beginning of an ambitious plan to update the PDS offerings in response to the evolving needs of adult educators across Europe. With input from various stakeholders, the team laid out a comprehensive strategy to ensure that the PDS platform remains at the cutting edge of adult education.
The discussions centered on the need to incorporate new teaching methodologies and digital tools into the PDS MOOCs, providing educators with the skills necessary to meet the challenges of modern education. The meeting also addressed the creation of new MOOCs that will expand the platform’s reach, covering emerging topics in adult education, such as digital literacy, inclusive education, and sustainable development.
The revisions will also focus on enhancing the accessibility of the platform, making it easier for educators from diverse backgrounds to engage with the content and integrate it into their professional practice. The Waterford meeting underscored the commitment of the PDS project to continuous improvement and innovation, ensuring that the platform remains a valuable resource for educators across Europe.
As these revisions and expansions are implemented, PDS will continue to play a crucial role in supporting the professional development of adult educators, empowering them to deliver high-quality education that meets the needs of today’s learners.
