The project stems from long-standing experience of partner organisations, or their staff, with the education of seniors and from the effort to integrate good practice in individual countries into the common methodology. The project objective is to create a system of inclusive education of seniors (based on the common methodology) with the use of information technology and active engagement of the seniors into the creation of the content of individual courses, including participation in their implementation. Another project objective is to systematically engage the youth into the education of seniors. These aims were reached. The project was participated by 4 institutions. The project coordinator was the University of Ostrava, Czech Republic. The partners were Associação de Melhoramentos e Bem Estar Social de Pias, Portugal, FONDAZIONE MONDO DIGITALE, Italy and Associação Rede de Universidades da Terceira Idade. Profile of Participants is described in part D. Description of activities: - Analysis of the current state of senior’s education in partner organisations, focus mainly on inclusive components. Analysis was done according the structure published on project web pages https://projekty.osu.cz/isev/doc/analysis-structure.pdf. Analysis was the base for development of the comparative study. Questionnaire results are available on project web pages https://projekty.osu.cz/isev/national-documents.php. - Comparison of these analysis, identification of common and different parts, evaluation through dialogue, conclusion as an input into design of new methodology. Comparative study is available on https://projekty.osu.cz/isev/doc/comparative_study_analysis.pdf. - Main innovations: innovation of using ICT in more sophisticated way, strengthen the role of digital data in different formats, role of learning management systems and their huge potential. Innovations aim to involvement of senior’s into teaching activities and involving students, youth. Seniors were in the role of developer of eLearning courses as well as teacher. They collaborated with students in developing of the eLearning courses. - Finding of additional inclusive components from the analysis and through the discussion. - Design of the new methodology which will integrate innovations leading to improvements of inclusive senior’s education and removing of weak points. This methodology will be shared by all partners and will be base for future implementation. Methodology was developed and it is available on https://projekty.osu.cz/isev/doc/common-methodology.pdf. Methodology was piloted. - Blended mobility of seniors with virtual mobility focus on inclusive elements of senior’s education. Seniors participated in this mobility will prepare educational activity (course) for their schoolmates that will integrate knowledge and skills obtained through blended mobility. The aim of the blended mobility was to train seniors how to design and develop eLearning course in the Moodle LMS. Training was focused on methodology of the design of eLearning course in general as well as on technical issues of its implementation. - Implementation of this methodology into Virtual U3A at University of Ostrava, ev. into partners senior’s educational systems. Methodology was implemented in all partners' institutions. - Pilot of this methodology through at least one semester course in each partners’ institution. Pilot was realized in all partners' institutions. - Dissemination seminar. All partners' institutions realized dissemination seminar in their country. Erasmus Day was also utilized for dissemination of the project results. Results: - Three analysis developed by common instructions. Each partners' country developed analysis according to the common structure https://projekty.osu.cz/isev/analysis-structure.php based on the results of questionnaire for seniors https://projekty.osu.cz/isev/national-documents.php. - Comparative case study. It was created https://projekty.osu.cz/isev/final-version-of-comparative-study.php. - Methodology of inclusive senior’s education (without barrier) based on smart using of ICT, cooperative learning, social learning, integrating of youth and boost senior’s confidence. It was created https://projekty.osu.cz/isev/methodology.php. - New virtual classroom as a result of implementation of designed methodology (at least in applicant organisation). Virtual classroom was implemented in the Moodle platform. It is available on http://isev.osu.cz. All together we have created 36 eLearning courses (AMBESP 8, FMD 10, OU 13, RUTIS 5). - Courses :”seniors to seniors”. The topic of the courses will be chosen during the project. The courses will follow new methodology and will use new virtual classroom. In each partners’ institution there will be at least one semestral course. Seniors from all partners’ countries have developed eLearning courses in the platform isev.osu.cz and offered them to their schoolmates. As an example: Czech seniors have created four eLearning semestral courses. All are available on isev.osu.cz Envisaged impact and long term benefits: - Removing the barriers give more Seniors chance to take part into life-long education. This benefit was tried during covid-19 crisis. Seniors could study from their homes and be in contact with the school as well as with their schoolmates. - Increase the number of seniors participating in U3A. Using distance form of study increased number of U3A seniors. - Increase the number of active seniors, who will be able to collaborate on learning/teaching activities. - Enlargement comparative study and methodology among a vast array of stockholder. Comparative study as well as methodology were presented stockholders on national seminars and conferences. They are also available on project web pages. - Enhancement the OU in its third role (Life-long education). This benefit was also checked during covid-19 crisis. OU did not stop offering educational activities for seniors. OU has created new courses for seniors in distance form. It was possible thanks to ISEV project because more than 100 seniors that were involved in ISEV project were able to study in distance using Moodle platform.
