Nataliia Matsai, Dean of the Faculty of Natural Sciences, and teachers of the Department of Landscape Gardening and Ecology, Kateryna Berezenko, Iryna Kyrpychova, Olena Bordiugova, and Serhiy Skakovskyi took part in the webinar of Ukrainian scientists and graduates of the Fulbright Program  for representatives of displaced higher education institutions on the topic: “Certification Programs: Rapid Prototyping and Implementation of Innovative Educational Programs”, which took place on September 15.

Oleksii Molchanovskyi, head of the Innovation Office of the Ukrainian Catholic University, shared his experience in the development and implementation of certification programs. Certification programs are an effective mechanism for the HEIs, their duration can range from several days to months. Such programs allow trying out new topics, test and attract new audiences, test the work of new teachers and teaching approaches, and can also bring additional income to the university.

The advantages of certification programs are rapid prototyping and validation of ideas/hypotheses; programs are not burdened by license requirements or mandatory training formats: you can try anything in any configuration; the widest possible range of formats, duration; allow building various educational products for a wider audience; develop faculty/department expertise; add to the financial autonomy for the faculty/department; expand the network of teachers.
