The project started with the research on the literature and creating a new and innovative training model based on the PPT/IENE Model, aiming to improve the effectiveness training of different categories of elderly caregivers.
The Model was the theoretical foundation, which supported the creation of an adequate curriculum and suitable training objectives and outputs, adapted to the target groups of migrants working in elders care at home.
The Curriculum modules and topics based on the competences established in the four areas of the Training Model, guided the learning objective, outputs and learning activities of the online training course and the creation/mapping of the associated training/learning/evaluation materials recommended.
The partners mapped on Internet the training/learning/evaluation materials associated for the topics of the course.
They created learning tools and resources which were uploaded on the website and used in setting up of learning activities on the Massive Open Online Course (MOOC), an innovative pedagogical approaches is that of co-learning through co-creation, based on digital integration in learning.
Before piloting the MOOC , 20 facilitators were trained in the European joint training workshops on how to use the MOOC and how to conduct learning and support learning for participants.
The MOOC was piloted with 276 participants recruited by the partners from the target groups and enrolled via web.
After completing all modules, the participants completed the assessment quizzes and the course evaluation questionnaire , were graded and received certificates and badges for course.
The validated course methodology and content are available for long time on the project platform together with the training Model and Curriculum and may be used to set up new trainings or even new MOOCs.
To promote the project products, four national seminars, were organized in the partners’ countries attended by stakeholders where potential users had opportunity to learn about the MOOC and how to use the created resources to create new trainings.
