E-competences and E-communication for People from their Mid to Late Forties and Seniors |
The first aim of this project is to explore a multidisciplinary approach to ICT (Information and Communication Technology) education for people from their mid-to-late forties and seniors.
Issues such as: (a) How can these people integrate themselves in the current scenario performed by the application of ICT in new forms of work organisation and new niches of employment or civic engagement? (b) How can they be encouraged to have a longer working life as professionals or volunteers? Or, (c) Which pedagogical methods and practices can promote learning processes for that purpose?, they all are vital questions that underlie this project. The principal pillars of this research are three, namely: (1) What does this population segment want to learn from ICT to improve their skills and enlarge and improve their working life? (2) Which are the main pedagogical methods and practices that our partners use?, and (3) How effective are the above mentioned pedagogical methods and practices with our students?
