Description
With the Covid-19 pandemic, many universities have decided to implement distance learning methods in order to reduce contagiousness. Although distance learning is partially successful in theoretical lessons, there are various problems in fields such as medicine, chemistry, veterinary medicine and gastronomy where practical lessons are extremely important.
The development of technology and digitization has caused changes in the methods, models and practices used in teaching activities. While gastronomic education, which takes place with theoretical and practical training activities, seeks to adapt to digital teaching practices, the digital teaching skills of academics providing gastronomic education should also be developed. It has been seen that there are no standards and principles regarding DIGI-GASE across the EU. The creation of a digital educational guide and materials that help higher education institutions and academics to provide gastronomic education in digital teaching will ensure effective and higher quality gastronomic education.
The DIGI-GASE project aims to improve the institutional capacity of higher education institutions and professional skills of lecturers working in gastronomy and/or culinary arts’ departments. The project also aims to prepare a guide to support universities in the transition towards digital gastronomy education.
