摘要

欧洲大学在应对21世纪世界变化方面面临巨大挑战。需要对广泛的终身学习场景进行深刻的转变,这些场景正在取代传统的大学学习模式,并以更灵活的方式为学生提供机会。为了应对学习转型,欧洲远程教学大学协会(EADTU)于2015年启动了EMPOWER项目,以便EADTU能够分享远程教育大学在该领域的专业知识。EMPOWER项目分12个领域组织。一个是学生支持,作为学生成功的核心领域。该项目的目标是让学生在开放、在线和混合的学习环境中成为终身、自主的学习者。该计划旨在提高学生的保留率,提高学习成绩、融入社会和满意度。本文总结了过去两年为提供不同的工具和资源所做的工作,如网络研讨会和报告。这些可以帮助机构和学术界了解学生参与度和动机与辍学的关系。我们的目标是分享专业知识,了解技术在为大小学生群体开发创新、先进和高质量的学生支持服务方面的有效性。现在判断EMPOWER项目学生支持小组的成功还为时过早。本文介绍了迄今为止取得的成就。它特别概述了关注学生辍学问题的原因,以及学生支持如何有助于改善这一问题。

Developing Student Support for Open and Distance Learning: The EMPOWER Project
European universities face great challenges dealing with twenty-first century world changes. Deep transformations are required to a wide range of life-long learning scenarios, which are replacing traditional modes of university study and giving access to students in more flexible ways. To address the transformation in learning, the European Association of Distance Teaching Universities (EADTU) launched the EMPOWER project in 2015 so that the EADTU could share expertise of distance education universities in the field. The EMPOWER project is organised in 12 areas. One is student support, as the central area for students’ success. The project’s goal is to empower students to become life-long, self-directed learners in open, online and blended-learning environments. The plan was to increase student retention and enhance academic performance, integration and satisfaction. This article summarises the work that has been done during the past two years to offer different tools and resources, such as webinars and reports. These can help institutions and academics in their understanding of what underlies student engagement and motivation versus student drop-out. We aim to share expertise about how effective, or not, technology has been for developing innovative, advanced and quality student support services to large and small groups of students. It is too early to judge the success of the student support group of the EMPOWER project. This paper looks at what has been achieved so far. In particular it outlines the reasons for focusing on the problem of student drop-out and how student support may help to ameliorate the problem.
