Training program “Digital Educator ABC” is organized within international project “Estonia’s Best Practices for Enhancement of Moldova’s Higher Education Capacities (EST4MORE)”, developed by University of Tartu, Estonia in partnership with Moldova State University and the support of ESTDEV. The project addresses challenges faced by Moldovan HEIs through engaging three target audiences: 1) equipping educators with digital skills and strengthening e-learning quality assurance practices; 2) enhancing MA students’ knowledge of European integration and improving “future skills” to make them competitive in the labor market as the next generation of European leaders; 3) uplifting the professional skills of doctoral students by creating networking opportunities with the Estonian researchers to facilitate the transfer of know-how and best practices.
