Featuring CoTalent

The conference will feature the final presentation of the European project Working in Europe to Connect Talent Development in Higher Education, called CoTalent.

The CoTalent project aims to provide teachers in European higher education tools to stimulate their talented students. Europe simply cannot afford to waste talent. Therefore, nine organizations strongly committed to talent development in higher education have joined forces to develop tools that can help teachers spot and stimulate talents. These tools are integrated into the CoTalent Wizard, an e-learning environment helping teachers to foster talent. The CoTalent Wizard is developed in an international process of co-creation with teachers and students and consists of three parts:

1. an instrument for teachers to self-evaluate their views on talent development (MeTalent Mirror)

2. an instrument to spot talented students (YouTalent Spotter)

3. an integrated CoTalent e-library consisting of texts and mini-movies enabling teachers to foster talent and implement a research-based talent development program.

The complete CoTalent Wizard will be presented and will be ready for use during the conference. The CoTalent videos will be shown throughout the conference. Project results so far can be seen at www.cotalentwizard.eu
