E-Story achieves the following objectives: - Develop a Conversational Storytelling tool for Adult Education: They wanted to create a system that uses conversational stories to evaluate the quality and satisfaction of adult education programs. - Improve Feedback Mechanisms in Adult Education: By using engaging stories, the project hoped to get better feedback from participants in adult education programs. This would lead to a better understanding of the educational process and how to improve it. - Design Stories that Cover a Wide Range of Scenarios: The project aimed to develop stories that could be applied to various adult education contexts. They created three main categories: acquiring job-related skills, social inclusion programs, and personal development courses. - Offer the Tool in Multiple Languages: They translated the stories and platform interface into nine languages to make it accessible to a wider audience. Overall, the project aimed to create a more engaging and effective way to evaluate and improve adult education programs.
The last pandemic years have made one thing clear: the lack of digitalization is a problem affecting many people, in Italy and across Europe. This penalizes various activities, including schools, work, universities, and training. The adult education sector has been more affected than others by this, and thus the goal of the E-Story project is to contribute to strengthening the methods of measurement and verification of European training effectiveness, in the adult education sector, and to experiment with new technology that allows for a more effective approach to administering student consultation tools. The aim of the project was to enhance the evaluation of education of adult activities by an innovative tool, based on conversational storytelling methodology. The initiative has produced the delivery of a multilingual platform to access three “stories”, one for each typical education for adults course. The creation of the stories was based on a research action promoted through the partnership and aimed to define the specific scope of the education of adults. The tool was developed in nine languages: english, italian, french, german, spanish, portuguese, lithuanian, romanian, dutch.
