Our project aimed to promote the use of ICT in combination with soft skills techniques in the adult learning focusing on ICT tools for distance learning, on the basis of exchanging good practices between the partners and in response to the priorities of the Programme. The main objective of this partnership was to develop an educational guide for a course with a focus on Soft skills for adults in order to bring them back to the labour market. The proposed course is based on good distance learning and teaching practices and is the outcome of the combination of methodologies deriving from the multidisciplinary approach of the members of the partnership as well as from the experience gained during the teaching in the various participating countries. Main objectives are: - enhancing focus on Soft skills for Adults in the processes of learning, teaching, training at various levels: promoting access to and learning through OER; supporting ICT-based teaching, training, as well as ICT-based assessment practices. Supporting teachers, trainers, educational staff in acquiring or improving the use of ICT for learning and related digital competences; - developing adult educators’ competences to deal with diversified groups of learners, make use of new technologies for better outreach and teaching outcomes; - improving and extending the offer of high quality learning opportunities tailored to individual adult learners, including through innovative ways of outreach and delivery; This project will help educators, trainers with an open innovation online guide for: - Develop a new approach to adult education and training which focuses on learning outcomes and learner responsibility and autonomy. - Encourage the development of effective lifelong guidance systems, as well as integrated systems for the validation of non-formal and informal learning. - Ensure flexible arrangements adapted to different training needs of adults, including in-company training and workplace-based learning. - Developing mechanisms for ensuring that educational provision better reflects labour market needs and that it provides possibilities for acquiring qualifications and developing new skills which increase people’s capacity to adapt to the new requirements of a changing environment. - Promoting the acquisition of transversal key competences, such as learning to learn, - Making better use of ICT in the context of adult learning, as a means of widening access and improving the quality of provision
Our partnership created a project that is developing the soft skills for adults on a new ICT scale that is easily accessible to adults. The main aim of the project was promoting the usage of ICT in the process of development of soft skills in the adult learning focusing on ICT tools for distance learning, on the basis of exchanging good practices between the partners and in response to the priorities of the Programme. The strong partnership among the institutions and civil sector, created a new approach. With our project we created a set of intellectual measures that are with the main focus on Soft skills for adults. We have realized that this are measures that are needed in bringing our adults back on the labor market. With the proposed approach and measures from this project, the partners have developed a set of measure that are identifying in the developed IOs. With this IO we make a clear classification, strategic positioning and development of measures for tackling the main objectives. The main objective of this partnership was to develop an educational guide for a course with a focus on Soft skills for adults in order to bring them back to the labour market. The proposed course is based on good distance learning and teaching practices and is the outcome of the combination of methodologies deriving from the multidisciplinary approach of the members of the partnership as well as from the experience gained during the teaching in the various participating countries. The number of participants have been more then 300, including the multiplier events. Main objectives that we reached are: - development of OER in the form of online platform (web page) like an open educational resource that is focused on adult education. - enhancement of soft skills for addults in the process of learning, teaching, training at various levels: - promoting access to and learning through OER; - supporting ICT-based teaching, training, as well as ICT-based assessment practices. We have added a possibility to submit a test for your learning. - Supporting teachers, trainers, educational staff in acquiring or improving the use of ICT for learning and related digital competences; - developing adult educators’ competences to deal with diversified groups of learners, make use of new technologies for better outreach and teaching outcomes; - improving and extending the offer of high quality learning opportunities tailored to individual adult learners, including through innovative ways of outreach and delivery; Each adult can pick exactly what course he would like to follow and what area he needs advancement. This project will help educators, trainers for: - Develop a new approach to adult education and training which focuses on learning outcomes and learner responsibility and autonomy. - Encourage the development of effective lifelong guidance systems, as well as integrated systems for the validation of non-formal and informal learning. - Ensure flexible arrangements adapted to different training needs of adults, including in-company training and workplace-based learning. - Developing mechanisms for ensuring that educational provision better reflects labour market needs and that it provides possibilities for acquiring qualifications and developing new skills which increase people’s capacity to adapt to the new requirements of a changing environment. - Promoting the acquisition of transversal key competences, such as learning to learn, - Making better use of ICT in the context of adult learning, as a means of widening access and improving the quality of provision With our developed IOS we are focusing on creation of unique learning experience for every adult. This learning is followed with possibility to test the new information that they have received and self- evaluate and re-evaluate their learning. We consider this to be important aspect of the development of Open Educational Resource that is accessible to all. We have developed 4 intellectual outputs, from which one is very innovative online free educational resource. There have been 5 transnational meetings and 2 training that have been held in N.Macedonia and Bulgaria. The last and not the least, we hade a large multiplier event on which we make a dissemination of the all results and created an open space for discussion and development of new ideas.
