A dynamic e-learning platform has been developed within the SKILLS+ project, accessible in English, Romanian, Spanish, Greek, Dutch and Norwegian, based on specifications developed in the SKILLS+ Learning Programme.
To comply with the requirements of the Skills+ Learning programme (IO3) regarding “thin slicing” and gamification (to raise the motivational force of the training and to increasing intercultural competences and emphasizing the European spirit), a professional artist has been involved on behalf of SEC to make a unique graphic representation of European heritage sites.
The learning platform’s entrance page shown an imaginary map, where the “sea of knowledge” that is “sailed” by micro/companies is inhabited by island (representing competence areas) that are named with a European historical reference and that have two to five “heritage buildings” each, representing “entrance doors” to lessons. For easier navigation, besides this map an additional “traditional” “drop-down” menu was designed and edited. Thus the lessons can be accessed in two ways: through the map or through the drop-down menu.
The style of the entire learning platform has been defined by this “historical” (“old time navy”) style: icons and other platform elements used in the platform have been visually adapted to this style.
On the lesson-pages a left-hand side menu helps the learner navigate among the various sections of the lesson, a “Details” menu can be used to open the full learning content. Visual and multimedia (graphs, photos, videos) are used to make the lesson pages more attractive and to support learning.
