It also aims at training the lecturer on how a specific teaching method can be combined with a certain technology in addition to providing guidelines, best practice and strategy concepts for lecturers and universities. As such the project will contribute to the modernization of Europe’s Higher Education systems for education and training. This support system will be implemented as a community of practice (CoP) with all the results of the project and driven by pedagogical aspects. The CoP should also provide the possibility to get into contact with other lecturers and share experiences about teaching with Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL). The need of the CoP with these components has been proven before the start of the project through the analysis of different surveys.. 1 Introduction The number of useful technologies for a variety of educational purposes is already quite large and constantly rising. Nevertheless there is still a lack of formal training and of supporting digital skills within faculty training. At the same time, higher education institutions all over Europe are expected to take into account innovative technologies and scenarios such as Open Educational Resources (OER) or Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) [2], but only a small number of universities actually does. AduLeT has the primary target group of lectures at the partners’ universities. These lecturers mainly have low skills in the advanced use of ICT within teaching or do not have enough time. The analysis of multiple studies before the project identified: the following barriers concerning the advanced use of learning technologies in higher learning: (1) time, (2) motivation, (3) institutional/cultural factors and (4) self-efficacy/self-confidence All the partners of the AduLeT consortium face almost the same barriers to a different extend. The aim of AduLeT is to provide lecturers an environment with helpful information for their teaching. * Corresponding author. Tel.: +36 30 2499306 E-mail address: szabo.ildiko.1999@gmail.com
