INTACT Platform: a case study in a training course Conference Paper uri icon

abstract

  • The development of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and the paradigm of modern society require that schools and training centers adapt to the new realities resulting from the need to develop learning skills throughout life, by using tools that promote collaborative learning and the decoding of emerging literacies based on multimodality. Besides, the continuous changes in the work market demand for continuous learning, preparing trainees for it means preparing them to develop collaborative and Information Technology learning skills based on e-learning, b-learning and m-learning. This poster aims to present the evaluation of using the INTACT (Interactive Teaching Materials across Culture and Technology) platform in a training context, namely the exploration and evaluation of the INTACT platform in a training course in Portugal. As such, the trainer created, developed and shared learning objects and contents on the platform in order to be used in training context, both in the classroom and in distance learning, promoting collaborative learning. At the same time, we assessed whether it is desirable and feasible to use the INTACTplatform in a training course, both from the trainer and trainee’s perspectives.
