Skills development in the field of next generation networked media over 4G+ infrastructures : the NEREUS approach and its first results

Abstract

The paper discusses the first-year results from the NEREUS project, an ERASMUS+ KA2 Strategic Partnership (2016-1-EL01-KA203-023637) for skills development in the field of “next generation networked media over 4G+ infrastructures”. It initially outlines the overall approach adopted by five European Higher Education Institutes (HEI) towards the implementation of a number of Intellectual Outputs in the areas of Informatics, Telecommunications and service/network Security, and presents the overall methodology/policy adopted for assessing the quality of the provided modules by external and internal advisory boards. In turn, the paper elaborates on the implementation of two Intensive Courses for assessing the educational/training content by real/actual audience, analyzes the evaluations results and describes the actions taken for enhancing the quality of the provided material, as well as NEREUS learning outcomes. The paper concludes by discussing the next steps within NEREUS and future work.
