Research and Methodological analysis
First things first, the consortium is conducting a comprehensive mapping and analysis of existing methods, practices, and tools relevant to the integration of emerging technologies in adult learning and education and in holistic literacy programmes.
This is currently being done by involving expert consultations and interviews to ALE educators, organisation representatives, learners, decision-makers and digitalisation especialists; reviewing literature and desk research, and identifying useful case studies and best practices which will later inform the development of the ETHLAE Toolbox. This collection and analysis of relevant methods and good practices is based on the existing work on emerging technologies in education setting at large, also from other sectors, such as schools, HE and VET and on a framework including criteria that are relevant for adults learners in vulnerable situations.
All partners are currently mapping and analysing existing methods, practices and tools deriving or already applied successfully in other sectors of education, but also conducting an exploration and scoping activity for the contextual implementation of ET in holistic literacy programme for adults in vulnerable situations, identifying main enablers and main obstacles. By examining existing frameworks and practices for holistic literacy for adult learners in vulnerable situation, there might be opportunities for learning improvements through emerging technologies.
This research is currently being done in Austria, Croatia, Finland, Romania, UK and at EU level.
