E-Methodics and E-Didactics in Adult Education
Start date: Nov 1, 2013,

Reason for the projectDigital skills are by now seen as one of the basic cultural techniques, and their influence on our lives will continue to increase on an even bigger scale. According to futurologist Dr. Elke Wenzel, digitalisation in education is one of the megatrends of our time. Online seminars and webinars, as well as the utilization of web2.0 tools are therefore future trends in education, and pose new challenges to trainers, as completely new methdological and didactic tools, as well as technical tools are required; work no longer takes place in an actual classroom but in a virtual room. In our view, trainers now need to acquire new skills in order continue to successfully compete on the trainer-market as e-trainers or e-moderators. As a result of our research we have concluded that there will continue to be classroom seminars, although these will be offered in combination with online seminars and webinars. There are currently no train-the-trainers courses for e-moderation and media training available yet.Results and productsDevelopment of an inter-cultural training course for e-moderation and e-trainingImplementation of a pilot courseFinal Curriculum for e-trainingSetting up quality standardsCreating a strategy conceptFacilitating an e-learning platform in four languagesDeveloping a support tool for continuing trainer supportPossible certification of the training course on a national scaleImpactIncrease in the quality of teaching in the area of online seminars and webinars. It will become possible to teach resource-efficiently and independent of time and location. Adult education organisations and trainer can extend their range of training offers in their respective specialised fields. Learning online will not only be be available at university level, but will also be accessible to other target groups (persons with low-threshold educational level).
