HealthyMindEd first webinar: Wellbeing in digital teaching learning in higher education
22 Jan 2026, 14:00 – 15:30 CET
Digital education has opened up unprecedented opportunities for teaching, learning, and collaboration. With emerging technologies constantly reshaping educational possibilities, universities are navigating a rapidly evolving digital landscape. However, alongside these benefits, digitalisation has transformed the learning environment and introduced new societal, cognitive, emotional, and social challenges for both students and staff.
As part of the HealthyMindEd project, this session explores how these changes affect wellbeing in Higher Education as a multidimensional construct – encompassing individuals’ cognitive, emotional, physical, biological, and social capacities. We will examine how digital learning environments influence concentration, motivation, workload, social connectedness, and overall mental health, drawing on HealthyMindEd’s research on the interplay between physical and digital spaces in education.
Through hands-on practice, participants will be guided through structured activities to identify the types of wellbeing support they need in their daily academic and teaching practices. These interactive exercises will help them articulate challenges, surface unmet needs, and co-create ideas for healthier, more supportive learning and working environments within their institutions.
