Abstract
The paper aims describing a collaborative international initiative of four European universities to develop a training program for supporting university teaching staff in creating and using multimedia technologies effectively (extend their digital competencies). Thus, teaching and researching staff from higher education institutions will follow a designed framework to develop their digital skills to create more realistic and attractive content that should improve engineering education (with a debate based on examples and best practices of different specializations). We relate the presented approach to MUST project (Multimedia Competencies for University Staff to Empower University—Community Collaborations, 2020–1-RO01-KA203-080399). The training curriculum and the created educational resources make up a dedicated service offered by universities through DigiCoaches who will provide training to other internal/external users/trainees in creating-using multimedia technologies effectively. The paper will enhance the quality and relevance of knowledge and skills of university teaching and researching staff in multimedia technologies by presenting an overview of the training needs assessment study. Five universities from Romania, Spain, Lithuania, Slovenia, and Republic of North Macedonia with two consulting companies from Germany and Portugal (experts in creating digital resources) will support the new multimedia curriculum and training programme development.
