The Centre for Educational Technology and Excellence (CETE) at The Maldives National University (MNU) participated in the kick-off meeting of the Erasmus+ funded project DIGITAsia – Digital Transformation of Asian Higher Education, held in Sri Lanka from 12 to 14 February 2025.
Coordinated by the University of Zagreb, Croatia, the three-year project aims to advance digital transformation and promote Education 5.0 across higher education institutions in the Maldives, Sri Lanka and Malaysia. With a budget of €719,634, the project aims to train 150 higher education teachers and support the development of 130 hybrid courses.
During the meeting, partners discussed project activities, teacher training plans and strategies for sustainable digital transformation. Through its participation, CETE contributes to strengthening MNU’s digital education initiatives and promoting innovative, technology-enhanced teaching and learning practices.
The project will run until 31 October 2027, building on the achievements of the earlier Erasmus+ AMED project.
