Synergetic approach with eLearning, TV and mobile technologies to promote new business developments

Closed

Project aims at creating a network for cross-border research cooperation in technology enhanced learning (TEL) and developing a strategy for educational business promotion service. Project will begin implementing the strategy and pilot a set of innovative learning solutions for inclusive human resource development and promote the spirit of entrepreneurship in border regions. The project will combine three kinds of TEL implemented in a complementary way: 1) eLearning - mainly computer and/or internet-based learning; 2) tLearning - TV based learning; 3) mLearning – learning by use of mobile devices: setting up an effective & innovative cross-media learning delivery system (eBig3) that goes beyond traditional web-based learning approaches. The system will combine a wide coverage of TV technology and a wide accessibility of mobile technology with the capacity and flexibility of broadband. This will allow a learner to use a single delivery channel at a particular time (depending on availability and preferences) or a complementary combination of two or three delivery channels, thus, supporting learn-anywhere-anytime paradigm. The work on the project solution includes integration of technical issues for cross-media learning content delivery, refinement of pedagogic considerations, development of shared understanding of target user learning contexts in border areas, production of learning content & organizing course pilots. The sample courses on new system will be related to entrepreneurship or ICTs. Project consortium will develop 10 innovative cross-platform courses in Latvian and Lithuanian languages having complementary learning materials on TV, Internet & mobile devices.
