The Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) is hosting an important international visit of the Transforming the Kosovo and Albanian Education System by Introducing Digital Technology in Teacher Education (TKAEDiTE) project partners.
The three-day visit, taking place from April 15 to April 17 at NTNU’s Gjøvik campus, brings together academic staff, institutional representatives, and policymakers from across Europe. The initiative aims to strengthen collaboration and promote the integration of digital technologies in teacher education systems in Kosovo and Albania.
The visit to NTNU is organized as part of the TKAEDiTE project to facilitate faculty and staff members of consortium partners with exposure to NTNU infrastructure, teaching and learning facilities and educational best practices. The workshop aims to shed some light on the tools/techniques employed in course delivery, assessment, and evaluation at NTNU.
The consortium includes leading institutions Linnaeus University in Sweden, University of Prizren, the Polytechnic University of Tirana, the University of Tirana, and several key education authorities from Kosovo. Their participation highlights the project’s broad regional impact and commitment to advancing education through innovation.
The agenda features a series of workshops, presentations, and interactive sessions designed to showcase NTNU’s teaching methodologies, infrastructure, and best practices in digital education. Participants will engage with NTNU experts on topics such as modern teaching tools, course delivery techniques, and evaluation methods.
Highlights of the first day include a welcome session, an introduction to NTNU’s Gjøvik campus and city life, presentations from the ISA Research Group and ColorLab, and a special meet-and-greet session with the Ambassador of Kosovo, Dr. Nita Luci. The program also includes campus tours and visits to laboratories and lecture facilities, providing participants with firsthand insight into NTNU’s academic environment.
This visit represents a significant step toward enhancing cooperation between European higher education institutions and supports the overarching goal of modernizing teacher education systems through digital innovation.
