The ETHLAE MOOC for educators and education stakeholders is hosted at the EAEA learning platform, EAEA’s one-stop platform, which offers a diverse range of courses tailored to meet the unique needs and aspirations of adult educators, adult education organisations, learners and policy makers.
This course addresses the critical need for pedagogical approaches and practical strategies to integrate emerging technologies into adult education. Emerging technologies can support learning, but only if they support adults’ diverse learning needs and styles and if the tools are specifically adapted to the educational setting and/or adaptable to the context in which adults are learning.
Throughout the course, educators can explore the main research insights from our research (Research tab here on the website) and discover the differences between countries in the context of emerging technologies and education. Participants can also scan through multiple external resources on how technologies work and how to use them in the context of education, and delve into learning scenarios especially targeting adult education. These scenarios present concrete ways to include emerging technologies as support for the development of basic skills in adult education: literacy and numeracy, personal, social and learning to learn competence, democracy and active engagement, digital spaces and environmental sustainability. With this MOOC, you can learn and hopefully share your knowledge and build capacity within your organisation for meaningful technology integration.
The ETHLAE MOOC is interactive, and educators can use the open forums to comment, give suggestions or advice to other educators across Europe. To access the MOOC, participants need to access the EAEA learning platform and create an account. With this account, participants just need to log in to the platform and can enroll to the course (as well as in other courses available, for example, on the just transition and sustainability).
We truly encourage enrollment in the EHTLAE MOOC through the platform so educators can use the interactive functions. However, if you do not want to create an account, you can access the content (without interactive aspects) by simply reading/downloading this document.
