Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)
'The 24-month ELEVATE project proposes a hybrid training and certification environment, which integrates the application software to be taught in the pedagogical-documented educational process, allowing the software development SMEs to deliver innovative e-training services and to address (more than adequately) the needs of their business partners and customers. Thus, the ELEVATE project addresses the business needs of the software development SMEs participating in the project in the field of application software training through their business partners and customers networks. As the software development SMEs have restricted resources to allocate in research and development (R&D) activities with regard to secondary corporate objectives, including e-training in the produced application software products, the proposed ELEVATE project provides participating SMEs with potentials and financial support to outsource a critical mass of research and technological development (RTD) activities to industrial companies and universities with larger research capacity and proved, successful experience in R&D, European-wide initiatives. The ELEVATE RTD performers will undertake significant research activities on behalf of the participating SMEs and deliver technology know-how in the fields of e-learning, educational content aggregation and material creation, learning management system and application software integration, and pedagogic standards and models. Led by CAS Software AG, the consortium consists of 8 partners from 7 EC member and associated countries (Germany, Belgium, Swiss, Greece, Cyprus, Italy and Turkey), including software development SMEs, industrial companies and universities.'
Introduzione (Teaser)
A new system embeds training and certification modules into normal software applications. Users can easily switch from training to using, meaning more natural and effective learning.
Descrizione progetto (Article)
Software training has been around since software began. However, effective training comes from a learn-by-doing approach, typically absent in training to date. Now software can be efficiently taught as an everyday tool.
This is what the EU funded the http://www.cas.de/ (ELEVATE) project to develop. The project ran for 24 months and is now concluded. The project concept was to embed training modules into various off-the-shelf software applications. The modules would demonstrate the software as used in real contexts, and the modules would be created according to innovative teaching techniques. This combination is expected to result in more effective training.
ELEVATE's concept treats software as an everyday tool, and allows the trainee to switch between training and actual use modes at any time. The system also includes various levels of certification of the training outcome. The system consists of three components: the interactive interoperability layer, an intelligent personalised trainer, and training, evaluation and certification.
Additional project goals included validating its results by developing prototypes specific to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), as well as promoting the uptake of such prototypes. The project met these aims.
Via numerous complex technical steps, the project developed an innovative training/certification environment integrated into the application being taught. This effectively accomplished the training objectives. ELEVATE developed such modules for three pre-selected software applications, which have been successfully validated. The work constitutes five exploitable assets.
The project's dissemination activities centre on promotion of its system concept. That is the capability of SMEs to develop, alone or with limited assistance, their own training materials based on ELEVATE's tools. This concept provides options for systems analysis of the software to be taught and for various training methodologies. Further dissemination activities included face-to-face meetings and academic workshops, as well as academic publications. The project promoted itself using general news media, via web presence and email delivery, and through non-academic meetings targeted at SMEs and other potential customers.
The consortium's work is expected to yield better training outcomes, including improved SME productivity and independence.
