Project Summary

We made an inventory of methods and tools and we collected examples of good practice trough a designer platform named Smore (https://www.smore.com/6mfav). moreover, we produced an Inventory of digital tools and methods and survey results. We decided to stop finishing the Smore and produce the written document Inventory of digital tools and methods and survey results because we emphasized more on the pedagogical aspects in the last part of the project. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1iEfiUlmTYZT2_nMXU6bGwQuDJFmwknRz)

The “Learning Training Teaching Activity” meetings were attended by 2 participants from each partner organization, both teachers and volunteers. These participants instructed 5 colleagues about how to use this tool in working with the target group, therefore an “oil slick” effect in using digital tools took place in the partners’ organizations. During these meetings, the representatives from each partner presented different digital tools, together with new teaching methods and suggestions on how to use these tools in class. By sharing our knowledge we learned what methods (pedagogical/andragogical) and which digital tools are relevant for our target group. At the LTTAs each partner presented one digital tool for using in teaching and learning and trained the other partners in using this tool. Overall, 28 tools were presented during the LTTAs.
So during those two years those who participated in the LTTAs as well as the colleagues at home learned how to use 28 digital tools in teaching and learning, tried them out and valued their usability for their own learners. All this work had a real impact on our organizations. Now we know more about which tools we can actually use within our educational settings and with our target group of low skilled learners. This has also given us an important opportunity to collect information so we are better equipped to guide low skilled adults towards a qualification with a different approach using ICT.
