Better e-Learning for All
Date du début: 1 déc. 2015, Date de fin: 30 nov. 2017 PROJET  TERMINÉ 

Based on the partners' experience on barriers to e-Learning, 'Better e-Learning for All' ('Better-E') proposes a global approach to create better e-Learning. The Project's name is already providing information about its objectives by demanding an upgrading on the quality of e-Learning practices and simultaneously an enhancement on the number and characteristics of the Organizations and people to involve in e-Learning. Partners are aware of the common cross-borders barriers to e-Learning which had been previously identified by the partners. The barriers had been divided into three categories: - Access: the physical and technological infrastructures in which the learning occurs and through which the material is presented; the availability of appropriate learning resources; the social infrastructure in which the material is presented. - Stakeholders: learners, trainers and Organizations; - Course: contents and Pedagogy Considering this barriers' ensemble, 'Better-E' proposes tools and methodologies to diminish them, providing solutions both from a technological and a pedagogical perspectives, surely considering and empowering the necessary (and also the most fragile) stakeholders. The project Objectives are, among other: - to propose, to test and to create a user-friendly and pedagogy-centered e-Learning Platform for courses promotion; - to introduce and to incorporate e-Learning into Organizations (training provider NGOs, and other) usually not included into e-Learning practices; - to promote e-Learning as an inclusion device considering the fact that traditional Education and Training are regular social inclusion mechanisms but so far e-Learning is not; - to use e-Learning to encourage active citizenship and entrepreneurship through initiatives fostering green skills and entrepreneurial mind-sets and skills. The Project will directly target two main groups (further applicable to an endless number and type of users): Training Provider NGOs and their targeted audiences. The philosophy sustaining it is the need to generate e-Learning best practices near Organizations into Adult Education and Training Systems but usually not into e-Learning. Engaging them into e-Learning will consequently benefit their target-groups by engaging them with the new set of social support offers available. The Project foresees the direct involvement of dozens of NGOs from the involved countries. It should be noticed that the scientific, pedagogical and technological scopes of the deliverables are prepared and will be applicable to the entire range of e-Learning stakeholders, namely Schools, Universities, Training Provider Companies, among other. Project promoters will engage into a Preliminary Research to upgrade the state-of-arts within their contexts (Organizations, people, policies, Countries). They will then conceive, test and launch the 'Better-E Platform', an online tool to fully conceive e-Learning courses embedded of technological solutions and pedagogical concerns. In order to test the Platform and engage final-beneficiaries (NGOs and people), the Partnership proposes the conception, testing and deliver of 2 e-Learning courses: 'Entrepreneurship', promoting active citizenship and entrepreneurship and failing social exclusion cycles, and 'Easily Moving from Learning to e-Learning', an instruction course also teaching, but not restricted to, how to use the 'Better-E' Platform. During the entire process the Partnership will be committed with Dissemination activities and internal and external incorporation activities. Monitoring and Evaluation and Quality Assurance play an essential role through the entire Project cycle allowing the decision for the best inflection processes whenever needed. A participatory methodology is implemented in order to involve all the applicable stakeholders: promoters and users. The cycle of conceiving/testing/refining/launching requires the active involvement of final beneficiaries, generating mutual responsibility and ultimate ownership. Tangible products to deliver are fostering strong intangible results: the enhancement of both the practice and the quality of e-Learning, the increasing of the number and type of e-Learning promoters and, above all, the problems for which better e-Learning practices can contribute with a solution. Not only Education and Training are foreseen as e-Learning scopes, 'Better-E' Project fosters Social Inclusion and Cohesion. The chosen acronym, Better-E, reveals simultaneously this great concern towards the importance of better 'e-Learning', but is as well capable of providing additional interpretations of relevance in the current times: 'Better-E' may recall 'Better Europe', by means of strong European Partnerships contributing for better common societies; it may as well recall the English word 'Battery', symbolizing the strong energy of partners while developing the project together, making it aligned and responding to the Erasmus+ global priorities and aims.
