All EYEs ON TAMK 2023

Posted on March 1, 2023March 2, 2023 by Lais Oliveira Leite

March is a special month for Eduix: for the second year we will participate in the Education Leadership Forum organized by TAMK. This time, though, we are not only sponsoring the event, but we will highly contribute with its content. This year, the Forum will be part of the EYE ON TAMK event, which will happen between March 20th-24th.

The programme is full of food for thought and we will be immersed on discussions, presentations, workshops, and networking events about (Re)connecting Professional Networks in Education.

Eduix participates in the webinar: Business Resilience through Talent Funding

Posted on January 19, 2023March 1, 2023 by Lais Oliveira Leite

It is proven that resilience and leadership are important factors of future development of businesses. They will be discussed in the webinar organized by the Nordic-Asean Business Forum (NABD) with support from Business Finland.

Representing Eduix, at 10h35 I will give a short introduction about Eduix, and contribute with my perspectives on how a diverse team in a Finnish company benefits its business, what are the challenges of being an international talent (for me and the company), my contribution to the international market, and my message for Finnish companies in hiring international talents.

Hope to see you there!

The annual IT days of Finnish HEIs was held this year in Lahti on the joint campus of LAB University of Applied Sciences and LUT University. The days offered a wide range of presentations on current IT topics with the theme “IT with a purpose”, bringing together around 500 IT professionals from higher education institutions, from management to support staff from all the corners of Finland. During the first day of the event, I gave a presentation about how Finland can use learning technologies to support building education ecosystems. Below you find a summary of what we discussed there!

Supporting education ecosystem building with digitalisation

Posted on October 26, 2022January 11, 2023 by Lais Oliveira Leite

In October 21st 2022, I had the honour to attend the panel discussion Embracing digitalisation to improve the sustainable delivery of education and training in Africa in ADEA Trennale 2022. My topic was focused on how digitalisation can support building education ecosystems. The ADEA Triennale is one of Africa’s high-level forums for political dialogue on education. The conference focuses on critical themes that transform Africa’s educational systems for sustainable social and economic development.

The objective of the panel discussion was to share experiences and working practices around EdTech issues, share ways how African countries are supporting ICT-oriented education and explore possibilities in regional cooperation. Below you find my contribution to the panel session based on the Recommendation Paper written in collaboration with Dr. Altti Lagstedt during the Edupreneurs project.

Building partnership in Ghana for digitalizing thesis work in higher education institutions

During 25th and 30th September, Eduix and Haaga-Helia went to Ghana to visit and support our pilot projects in two universities: the Ghana Institute of Journalism and the University of Ghana.

Dr. Altti Lagstedt, principal lecturer at the Haaga-Helia University of Applied Sciences, wrote his impressions about the trip at the university blog:

What is remarkable for all these meetings and sessions was the clearly positive attitude towards education digitalization. The information gathered from focus group sessions and interviews show, that there clearly is a readiness for education digital transformation.
Dr. Altti Lagstedt

Such visits and pilots are part of the research project Eduditra, funded by Eduix.

Find out more about his conclusions on the trip in his blog post here.

Despite its challenges, the year 2021 has been a mark for the internationalization of Eduix’s operations. The fact that I am writing this post in Brazil, right now, is one of its milestones. If we make a timeline of what has happened during this year, we should notice that:

Currently …

I am in my home country, after 2 years of a long wait in between a pandemic, not only to visit my dear family and friends, but also to talk with education stakeholders about Eduix and our vast experience in digitizing education processes. We believe we can support Brazilian education institutions in promoting high quality hybrid and online education with our edtech solutions!
