Objectives

One of the key reasons for this participation in the proposal is a digital skills gap that adult educators still have after intensive one year digital working. Within this project was developed adult educators' functional (digital) competences focused on andragogical approach and empowered adult educators with practical skills on how to use online tools (for ex.Padlet, Socrative, Mentimeter, Kahoot, Edmodo, Projeqt, Thinglink, TED-Ed, cK-12, eduClipper, Animoto, Edpuzzle, Canva, Quizlet, and others. 1.We have created programme and handbook 2.

Background

We noticed that adult educators already learned a lot how to use digital platforms, how to share screen, prepare ppt but still they are missing such skills (how to use and combine digital tools and andragogy theory). How to involve adult learners more into learning process, how to make digital online learning more attractive. Marijampoles Meiles Luksienes centras is a newcomer in the Erasmus projects. We have discovered that we need international experience and especially new digital working online techniques and tools. Transnational cooperation is essential to achieve the specific objectives because we share/learn from our different countries experience and fostering our digital readiness. In the implementation of the project, a transnational partnership guarantee a research that is more heterogeneous and therefore able to identify on a larger scale the needs of the target group, thus allowing an effective adaptation of the results produced by the project to the specific needs of the target group. Taking into account the needs identified on a transnational scale through the research, also the training format based on better targeted to respond to the educational gaps of the learners.
