STILLLEARNING IS A ERASMUS+ PROJECT AIMING TO RESEARCH CONTINUOUS LEARNING AT WORK AND CO-CREATE NEW TRAINING SOLUTIONS WITH PARTNER INDUSTRIES.
StiLLLearning project period 1.10.2020 - 30.9.2022.
The goal of the project is to identify factors that support and challenge continuous learning at work, and develop competences needed in disruptive industries.
The goal of the project is to research continuous learning and competence development at work in disruptive industries, such as hotel and tourism, building, automotive and bioeconomy. Digitalization, automation and the need for sustainable solutions transform the branches rapidly creating a need for new businesses, working methods and innovations. Researchers, educators and company partners in this project are especially interested in learning in transformation. The project countries are Finland, Germany, Italy and Switzerland.
Based on research results the project team organizes transnational online workshops. During workshops the team brainstorms and co-creates an Open Idea Bank for novel training methods for facilitating learning at work. In further, the project team designs and pilots an open hypervideo-based cMOOC (collaborative massive open online course) for supporting new and creative ways for continuous learning.
“What are the needs for continuous learning for the future? – build your skills now”.
Key outcomes of the project
Research on continuous learning at work in disruptive industries
During the first phase of the project the project team conducts a research summarizing
1) disruptions faced in the past and expected in the future in the industry
2) current competences and future skills needed at work
3) factors which support or inhibit continuous learning at work
4) current training and competence development practices adopted by the industry.
The research results can be found here.
Co-created Idea Bank of innovative training solutions
The Idea Bank is an open online material for novel training solutions at work. The ideas are generated by participants from Finland, Germany, Italy and Switzerland representing different industries and sectors, and vocational and higher education institutions. The Idea Bank offers curated contents that are designed within the project basing on the research results and open educational resources (OER).
The Idea Bank results can be found here.
Hypervideo-based cMOOC “Facilitating learning at work”
The hypervideo-based cMOOC offers a modular and competence-based online course of planning, guiding and assessing innovative learning and training solutions at work. The course is addressed to competence developers of disruptive industries and adult educators of vocational and higher education institutions. The pilot group of course attendants is chosen from the participating countries and institutions.
The results of the pilot can be found here.
