This project will cover the needs of educational processes and their participants, taking into account the increasingly intensive use of digital solutions adolescents. It will help for building the accessible web-based platform for creating educational content and tests that could be used in educational processes. The nature of the platform is based on the latest 360-degree virtual technology. It allows the learning process to be carried in as close to real environment. This kind of a technology allows virtual lessons to be upgraded with a wide range of tools such as text, photo, collage, sound, video, interaction in the form of test / test game.
The platform is addressed to:
– teachers;
– lecturers;
– students;
– people in continuing education
– people interested in vocational training or corporate training;
The goal of the project is the emergence of an electronically web based system for the creation of educational content, teaching in a close-to-reality environment and a subsequent testing of the achieved outcomes.
The product steps up on three basic fundamentals:
- reproduction of the real environment within a particular school topic
- accessibility of the technology, user-friendliness and interaction with the system
- analytical section for reporting of the outcomes
The technology in brief:
The bases for creating the educational content are 360° purposive virtual tours corresponding to the curricula.
The technology allows the tours to:
- create informational markers with possible extensions – text; photo; sound; link; video
- make up tests, comprising of a question/series of questions and possible answers
- create educational games – urging activities in the process of which knowledge/educational content is conveyed
The system is organized on two levels::
- Generally accessible (visible and accessible to all) includes all lessons, presentations and games, created within the system
- Administratively – accessible to registered users, creating educational content; making a personal administrative profile, permitting a content creation
System organization:
The public release of the system will be loaded with the primary created educational content. The system will include a section on how to use it covering as follows:
- Video lessons
- Explanatory presentation materials
The building up of a lesson/content will be possibly active/visible only on the administrative level until it is developed to the level appropriate for use in the training process. In the test/training play there will be a section for generating the results of the individual trainees. When doing a test the trainees will be recognized by means of a registration thus allowing their objective assessment.
The maintenance of the system and content security will be implemented by the Interactive Bulgaria foundation. It is the ambition of the project team, on its completion, the product to be adapted and distributed to all EU member states, multiplying the effect of the invested European funds.
