Seminars promoting virtual support for mobile students.

The growing success of Erasmus and other exchange programmes has revealed a new need for students to get more and better guidance and support. Blended Mobility, enabled by the use of educational technologies, and e-coaching methodologies, therefore are becoming increasingly popular as a complement to the traditional mobility programmes in order to support the mobile student of tomorrow in an efficient and effective way. The Move-IT project will maximize the impact of the Erasmus programme by disseminating innovative initiatives, bringing together projects and potential users, thereby emphasizing the transfer and take-up of project results by new users and mainstreaming them into higher education practices. Move-IT will trigger the discussion and keep blended and virtual mobility high on the agenda of the different European stakeholders.
