STEM-CPD scenarios and user cases – O3

Main goal: Create a collection of STEM-CPD scenarios and user cases for the CPD-Ambassadors in higher STEM education

Synopsis

The continuous professional development (CPD) learning situations are different in comparison to the learning situations of university students. Typical CPD learning activities are e.g. scientific meetings, online courses, workshops and workplace learning. In this output, a collection of STEM-CPD scenarios and user cases for the CPD-Ambassadors in higher STEM education will be created. Collected scenarios and user cases will be used at summer schools and further scenarios will be used to prepare CPD activities at the local universities of CPD-Ambassadors. In addition, developed user cases will be openly shared.

Objectives
The main objectives of this output are:

• template for online collection and description of the STEM-CPD scenarios and STEM-CPD user cases,
• online handbook for sharing STEM-CPD scenarios and user cases.

STEM lecturers at any EU universities can (re)use described continuous professional development activities and user cases and join the knowledge network.

Outputs
