- Online engineering mathematics course: development and implementation of a successful projectPublication . Baptista Soares, Filomena; Paula Lopes, Ana; Cellmer, Anna; Uukkivi, Anne; Serrat, Carles; Pantazi, Chara; Feniser, Cristina; Safiulina, Elena; Martin, Errol; Serdean, Florina; Kierkosz, Igor; Kelly, Gerald; Cymerman, Joanna; Brown, Ken; Alier, Marc; Latõnina, Marina; Bruguera, M; Estela, M. Rosa; Labanova, Oksana; Bocanet, Vlad; Sushch, VolodymyrAccording to the New UNESCO global survey studying the effect of Covid-19 on higher education (2021) the pandemic has had an impact on higher education systems in terms of access and quality of teaching and learning. Covid-19 has caused the suspension and cancellation of teaching activities and its major impact on teaching and learning is the increase in online education. The Engimath - Mathematics on-line learning model in engineering education - was successfully carried out at the very right moment, as in recent two years there has been a significant increase in demand for a 100% online mathematics course with interactive learning materials and largescale practicing opportunities as well as for a mathematics online assessment model. This project has successfully developed a high-level online course as a basis for offering output-oriented education in engineering mathematics. Some of development stages, that led this project – EngiMath - to an outstanding successful end, will be presented in this paper. These go from the educational needs’ analysis to its implementation and use, even allowing an open and live test.
- A tool to aid institutions recognize their employees competences acquired by informal learningPublication . García-Peñalvo, Francisco J.; Zangrando, Valentina; García-Holgado, Alicia; Conde-González, Miguel Ángel; Seoane-Pardo, António-M.; Alier, Marc; Galanis, Nikolas; López, Jordi; Janssen, José; Brouns, Francis; Finders, Anton; Berlanga, Adriana; Sloep, Peter; Griffiths, David; Johnson, Mark; Waszkiewicz, Elwira; Mykowska, Aleksandra; Minović, Miroslav; Milovanovic, Milos; Marques, Maria A.; Viegas, C.; Alves, Gustavo R.People do not learn only in formal educational institutions, but also throughout their lives, from their experiences, conversations, observations of others, exploration of the Internet, meetings and conferences, and chance encounters etc. However this informal and non-formal learning can easily remain largely invisible, making it hard for peers and employers to recognize or act upon it. The TRAILER project aims to make this learning visible so that it can benefit both the individual and the organization. The proposed demonstration will show a software solution that (i) helps the learners to capture, organize and classify a wide range of ’informal’ learning taking place in their lives, and (ii) assists the organization in recognizing this learning and use it to help managing human resources (benefiting both parts). This software tool has recently been used in two phases of pilot studies, which have run in four different European countries.
- TRAILER – e-Portfolio for collecting and recognizing informal learning process and outcomesPublication . Mykowska, Aleksandra; Waszkiewicz, Elwira; Marques, Maria A.; Viegas, C.; Alves, Gustavo R.; García-Peñalvo, Francisco J.; Zangrando, Valentina; Conde-González, Miguel Ángel; Brouns, Francis; Finders, Anton; Janssen, José; Galanis, Nikolas; Alier, Marc; Johnson, Mark; Griffiths, David; Minović, Miroslav; Milovanovic, MilosInformal learning is becoming more and more important: Nowadays people learn more this way, through the Internet, than in schools or normal trainings. But they don’t get any certificateswhich attest this fact. So they can't show the employer or teacher etc. that they have learned something. TRAILER project aim is to solve this problem by developing a special tool for managing of all competences and skills acquired through informal learning experiences. Both from the perspective of the user and the perspective of an institution or a company. We’ll present the IT tool to show how people can make their informal learning outcomes visible. TRAILER helps users to gather all information about process and outcomes of their informal learning. Users can share this with friends, colleagues or their employees, teachers and so on. They can create an interactive e-portfolio which can be attached to their CV, cover letter or Knowledge Management system etc. After the presentation of the tool we will discuss possible areas and fields to use this tool. Also we would like to discuss all possible use of the tool by the participants and another needs in this area. Moreover we want to discuss other problems in informal learning process, ways to solve the problems and discuss other ideas of different IT tools which could help in informal learning process. During the discussion we’ll use an interactive respond system which can be used on mobile devices: it makes possible for participants to share their opinions individually before knowing another persons' opinion.
- TRAILER Project (Tagging, Recognition, Acknowledgment of Informal Learning Experiences) a methodology to make learners' informal learning activities visible to the institutionsPublication . García-Peñalvo, Francisco J.; Conde-González, Miguel Ángel; Zangrando, Valentina; García-Holgado, Alicia; Seoane-Pardo, António-M.; Alier, Marc; Galanis, Nikolas; Brouns, Francis; Vogten, Hubert; Griffiths, David; Mykowska, Aleksandra; Alves, Gustavo R.; Minović, MiroslavThe application of information technologies (specially the Internet, Web 2.0 and social tools) make informal learning more visible. This kind of learning is not linked to an institution or a period of time, but it is important enough to be taken into account. On the one hand, learners should be able to communicate to the institutions they are related to, what skills they possess, whether they were achieved in a formal or informal way. On the other hand the companies and educational institutions need to have a deeper knowledge about the competencies of their staff. The TRAILER project provides a methodology supported by a technological framework to facilitate communication about informal learning between businesses, employees and learners. The paper presents the project and some of the work carried out, an exploratory analysis about how informal learning is considered and the technological framework proposed. Whilst challenges remain in terms of establishing the meaningfulness of technological engagement for employees and businesses, the continuing transformation of the social, technological and educational environment is likely to lead to greater emphasis for the effective exploitation of informal learning.
- TRAILER: A Tool for Managing Informal LearningPublication . Viegas, Clara; Marques, Maria; Alves, Gustavo R.; Mykowska, Aleksandra; Galanis, Nikolas; Alier, Marc; Brouns, Francis; Janssen, José; García-Peñalvo, Francisco J.; Holgado, Alicia; Zangrando, Valentina; Conde-González, Miguel ÁngelEven though informal learning plays an important role in everyone's life, not everyone is aware of its importance. These informal activities contribute to the development of self-regulated learning that can help productivity in different environments. As this kind of apprentices grow, the need to keep track of this developed knowledge is becoming vital. This paper presents a study on the perception and usage of a tool that would help keeping track of learners' informal learning. This study was conducted both within academic and professional contexts and was developed within the European Commission funded TRAILER project. The contexts were similar regarding the importance and perception of informal learning, but differed concerning tool usage and the usefulness of such a platform. The overall idea of managing one's informal learning was well accepted and welcomed, which validated the emerging need for a tool with this purpose.
