Sažetak
The aim of this presentation is to present Erasmus+ project Digital Education for Crisis Situations (DECris): Times when there is no alternative. The project is focused on innovative digital practices implemented in higher education institutions (HEI) in the field of (L)IS during COVID-19 pandemic. Project’s main coordinator is Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, University of Osijek, Croatia, along with 8 partners and associate partners – Stiftung Universität Hildesheim (Germany), Universitat de Barcelona (Spain), Universitet po bibliotekoznanie i informacionni tehnologii (Bulgaria), University Computing Centre, University of Zagreb (Croatia), University of Sarajevo (Bosnia and Herzegovina), University of Mostar (Bosnia and Herzegovina), Victoria University of Wellington (New Zealand), and St. Petersburg State University of Culture (Russia). The purpose of this presentation is to present project’s goals, methodology, intellectual outputs and expected findings. Since COVID-19 pandemic, education has changed dramatically (Daniel, 2020 ; WEF, 2020) which has been supported by different studies (Ali, 2020 ; Bergdahl & Nouri, 2020 ; Radha, Mahalakshmi, Sathish Kumar & Saravanakumar, 2020 ; Reimers & Schleicher, 2020 ; Zawacki-Richter, 2020). Together with digital technologies, education started to face different questions, contradictions, challenges and opportunities that need to be addresses (Berger & Thomas, 2011 ; Johns & Sharma, 2021 ; Thomas, 2011). In accordance with the beforementioned, we will discuss the role and importance of DE and OERs for HE in crisis situations such as COVID-19 pandemic, the issues and challenges that HEI face in that context, as well as how to successfully approach those issues and challenges.
