M-learning to unleash households' business potential
Date du début: 1 nov. 2013,

In M-HOUSE project, an international consortium works to increase households’ awareness of their business potential and to valorize their entrepreneurial soft skills, as well as to raise households’ entrepreneurial and intrapreneurial spirit. The project aims at providing households with alternative career/employment pathways, to reach personal fulfillment.M-HOUSE exploits home economics research findings in an innovative way, developing a prototype non formal e-/m-learning course aimed at improving households soft business skills. 8 learning modules are developed on the basis of key learning situations identified by the partners, turning daily households scenarios with entrepreneurial learning potential into learning exercises (i.e. over-stressed situations turned into exercises of self-motivation).The modules are accessible on PC or mobile devices used for an interactive learning. Smart-phones/tablets’ applications represent an added value in learning (i.e. management apps, podcasts, video&audio recorder, e-books, social media apps, etc., are appealing and popular tools that can be exploited to develop an innovative m-learning course).Methodology is based on principles of performance support and on bottom-up approach, where households image themselves as managers/entrepreneurs. One exercise is the exchange of information/experience through a trans-national/trans-generational diary: a self-critical thinking on biography with recognitions of own challenges/successes to share with others and have a comparison.After the training, households are stimulated to valorising their entrepreneurial skills: getting involved in a new/social business, applying these skills in their current job (intrapreneurship), etc. The consortium supports them with concrete networking tools and mentoring.A comprehensive course toolkit for trainers is developed and agreements to adopt the training are signed with adult education institutions, to grant sustainability.
