Last few places remaining for iEducate - Final Conference 20th September 2011

The future of learning technologies and vocational education will be showcased at a one day event hosted by Warwick University’s Digital Lab on Tuesday 20^th September.

The EU funded project iEducate, managed by Coventry company e-Learning Studios, is organising the conference to demonstrate to vocational education and training professionals across the UK and Europe how they can use technology to enhance their work with learners.

The event is the culmination of a two year project where 6 organisations from across Europe worked together to develop a rich resource website, a virtual training island in Second Life, an accredited e-Learning course, and delivered live training at workshops in several countries.  The conference in Coventry will cover all of these areas, and also look at several newly emerging technologies and teaching methods that can be used in education and training.

Pete Stevens, iEducate Project Manager, said, “This has been an ambitious project creating resources and sharing teaching methods with educators across Europe who all have different skills levels; but it’s been very interesting and I’m looking forward to meeting the conference guests on the 20^th”.

If you would like to attend the conference you can contact sabine@ieducate.eu or visit the project’s website www.ieducate.eu

iEducate is funded by the EU’s Leonardo da Vinci Lifelong Learning Programme and helps vocational educators to connect with a new generation of learners through demonstrations and applied training in innovative technologies and teaching methods including a virtual teacher training space, an accredited e-Learning course on developing quality e-Learning, a rich website and more innovative new technologies to address the changing workplace. For more information about the project activities please have a look at the website www.ieducate.eu

iSpectrum Gains a Game Range

iSpectrum aims to improve the work-based social interaction skills of people with Autism, Aspergers and other related special needs through a virtual work environment to increase their chances of gaining employment.

What is iSpectrum?

• An engaging new Serious Game for people with ASD
• A 3D e-Learning course for ASD practitioners on using virtual work environments
• Training and workshops across Europe on new ways to deliver social communication and interaction skills
• A website hub for information and advice on these exciting innovations.

The FACTS

• 332,600 people of working age in the UK are diagnosed with Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and only as little as 6% of them are in full- time employment.
• In Bulgaria there are at least 15,035 people with ASD;
• In Italy 116,114 people with ASD;
• In Germany, 164,849 people with ASD.
• In the EU the unemployment rate amongst people with ASD is considered to be higher than 90%! 

iSpectrum will use these innovations to give people with ASD a smoother integration into professional life.   Users will be able to play, learn, understand, and act out different social roles as an employee in a variety work environments.   ASD practitioners will learn how they can incorporate virtual worlds into their training; and Employers will benefit from a more diverse  workforce.

 iSpectrum is funded through the European Commission’s Leonardo Lifelong Learning Programme.  Five partners from the UK, Germany, Italy and Bulgaria, with assistance from practitioner, business and user advisory groups, will create a serious games virtual work environment specifically for people with ASD. This will be designed to promote the understanding of body language and facial expressions, social relations, conversation skills and dealing with abstract concepts.  Some people with ASD have difficulties with communication, social integration and social imagination. As a result they might find it difficult to undertake vocational training, find out about job opportunities and also retain a job. The project intends to improve the attractiveness and delivery of Vocational Educational Training for people with ASD in the fields of retail, office (IT) and manufacturing, which are common vocational areas for employed people with ASD.  

iSpectrum also seeks to provide intelligence, skills and knowledge on the benefits of serious games work environments for ASD practitioners through integrated research, testing and trials, live training and a 3D e-learning course, but also to increase knowledge and expertise in this area across Europe.

July's Introduction to e-Learning Course, a great success

July’s ‘Introduction to e-Learning’ course was another great success.  Delegates who attended said they thoroughly enjoyed the day and found the course to be very informative and a great insight into the wonderful world of e-Learning. Here are some of the comments from the delegates:

A great day which was well organised; the tutors were very good and they presented well   The administration of the course was also very good.  I will definitely recommend this.

Elizabeth Irish

Just want to thank all of the staff for the warm welcome and hospitality you all gave and showed me during my stay in Coventry.  It felt like a real family atmosphere, I would recommend anyone to attend training at e-Learning Studios and wouldn’t mind coming back myself!

Errol L. Mondell

The great thing for me was the realisation that it is possible to get on to the ‘merry-go-round’ without spending a lot of money, and being able to recognise applications that would suit the needs of our clients.
