e-DIPLOMA - Dataset: European remote e-learning ecosystem survey data

This is the dataset "European remote e-learning ecosystem survey data" of the e-DIPLOMA project.

In 2022 the evaluation of the European tertiary training ecosystem capacity for using disruptive technologies in practice based e-learning was explored. It was done in the eDiploma project WP2. The research problem was: What are the main gaps in tertiary education in the institutional capacity to perform practice based e-learning with disruptive technologies? Three survey instruments were developed for three target groups in institutions: technology specialists, educators and students. The survey was composed of four blocks of capacity elements: 

infrastructural capacities, 

normative and regulatory capacities (institutional level), 

teaching cultures (community level), 

competences, attitudes and values (personal level). 

The data were collected with the anonymous web based survey approach in countries: Spain, Estonia, Hungary, Bulgaria, Italy, Cyprus. 

In each HEI or VET institution the respondents were:

Technical and didactical support staff: educational technologist, IT or technical support specialists, lecturers responsible for technology training, Digital policy administrative specialist

Lecturers or researchers who have experiences with some forms of group-learning or practice based learning

Students from the institution who have experiences with some forms of group-learning or practice based learning / to be spread among each institution, so that different areas students respond, these should not be one group from one class only)

The answers were collected totally from the following number of the technology specialists-experts (N=96), the educators (N=351), and the students (N=516). The generalizability of the data is limited due to the sampling structure: it was not attempted to reach regional coverage because countries in our sample differ greatly in size. In Estonia responses were collected from 9 institutions (3 vocational schools and 6 HEIs). In Bulgaria responses were from 3 institutions (all HEIs). In Cyprus responses were from 3 institutions (all HEIs). In Hungary responses were from 6 institutions (1 vocational school and 5 HEIs). In Spain responses were from 116 institutions (28 high schools, 41 vocational schools, 47 HEIs). In Italy responses were from 9 institutions (4 HEIs and 5 social enterprises).
