About the webinar
Technology Enhanced Learning as an interdisciplinary field has many approaches to doctoral education, depending on the country, university, faculty of the PhD candidate among other factors. DETEL Erasmus+ project works on harmonizing and innovating doctoral education in the field, defining a new study program for doctoral education.
The webinar will feature a panel discussion on the topic of doctoral education in Technology-Enhanced Learning, where four international experts will share their experience.
In this webinar, we will also inform the participants about the state of the work on the program and the doctoral Technology Enhanced Learning curriculum designed in the DETEL project. We will also demonstrate our platform for community-driven development of educational resources for doctoral candidates.

What do we know about doctoral education in Technology-Enhanced Learning?
📅 10:40 Central European Time
In this presentation, we share how we explored the state of doctoral education in the highly interdisciplinary area of Technology-Enhanced Learning in Europe. Our results indicate the fragmentation on the master and doctoral levels, challenges related to the interdisciplinarity of the field, availability and flexibility of doctoral study programs, and slow adaptation to the development of research in the same field. At the same time, there are excellent examples of educational resources, doctoral programs and courses, institutional and national schemes as well as best practices in supervision and support for young researchers.

Expert panel
📅 11:00 Central European Time
In this expert panel, we will discuss various aspects of doctoral education in Technology-Enhanced Learning. The discussion is meant for both experienced academics engaged in teaching and supervision and junior researchers working on their PhDs. The panelists will share their experience in supervising PhD candidates, including best practices and challenges. We will discuss the relations between the cutting-edge research, education, and practice of Technology-Enhanced Learning. The experts of the panel will share insights on addressing the highly interdisciplinary nature of the field, navigating through educational materials, tools and research methods from engineering, design-oriented research, social sciences, psychology, and other. The panel will include an open microphone for the questions from the participants.

Highlights from the Survey of Doctoral Education in Technology-Enhanced Learning
📅 12:00 Central European Time
In this short presentation, we will present the highlights of the Survey of Doctoral Education in Technology-Enhanced Learning, conducted in 2020-2021. We collected 229 responses from doctoral candidates, researchers, and practitioners working in Technology-Enhanced Learning.
In this survey specifically we aimed to understand the current practice and shortcomings of institutional doctoral training in Technology-Enhanced Learning. Survey results serve as the evidence basis for further developments in doctoral training in the field in general, as well as for further activities that were carried out within the DETEL project.
The highlights of the survey include:
- Informing the design of the DETEL curriculum by finding out what topics are useful but have few educational resources.
- Research methods topics in doctoral education in in Technology-Enhanced Learning
- General PhD education topics in doctoral education in Technology-Enhanced Learning
- Learning practices and learning sources used by doctoral candidates in Technology-Enhanced Learning
- Information on the challenges of doctoral education in Technology-Enhanced Learning
- Supervision practices in Technology-Enhanced Learning

Supporting organizations
This webinar is organized and supported by the consortium partners of the Doctoral Education for Technology-Enhanced Learning – DETEL project funded by the EU Erasmus+ program.
About the DETEL project
Doctoral Education for Technology-Enhanced Learning (DETEL) project will establish and deepen a strategic partnership for doctoral education in Technology-Enhanced Learning (TEL). DETEL brings together 9 internationally renowned universities and the European Association of Technology-Enhanced Learning to reflect their expertise in doctoral education into a new internationally validated program in TEL, extended with rich and professionally produced Open Educational Resources. The project grounds the design of the new program in the best practices in TEL doctoral education across Europe as well as institutional and national requirements.
