About the International Fall School
While digital technology undeniably influences various aspects of our society, its role in higher education has been inconsistent. In a local context centered on student projects, this second session of the EIA aims to explore the influence of digital technology from the perspective of motivation. It will thus begin with this question: Can digital technology help foster students’ motivation to learn? Engaging students is a real challenge for teaching teams. The challenge is to demonstrate how digital technology can support motivation in a way that encourages everyone toward “self-actualization through engagement with others” (Maslow 2008).
This EIA is intended for professors, teachers, lecturers, professionals in training, education specialists, educational advisors, and other professionals involved in adult education. Throughout this program, participants will be encouraged to share their expertise.
