Results ComOn Project: Bulgaria, Poland, Portugal and Spain

Abstract

Technology is transforming, at a faster and faster pace, the way we live, relate, interact, and communicate. Smartphones, tablets, notebooks, computers are among the many tools that can provide and support people with a better life. Nevertheless, there are skills and competences needed for them to really seize all their potential. The European Com ON project seeks to provide a training program to empower European adults to understand, create and share audiovisual messages and stories.

In the first phase of this project, partners had been actively working on the development of the e-Learning course, taking into consideration the results of Intellectual Output of the first phase of the project that resulted in four e-Learning modules: Digital narrative; Video creation; Image creation and Illustrations.

Since the development of the draft versions of the learning materials finished, it was time to elaborate the subsequent step: the pilot testing and implementation. This phase started with the preparation of the guidelines for the pilot, which was planned to test the ComOn products with potential users and to gather their feedback. This pilot phase included the functionality testing of the e-Learning platform and the usability testing. All partners selected participants and developed the piloting training, with at least 25 participants per country. In this article we present the global results of this testing stage, with the key findings, conclusions and improvement recommendations by all consortium partners. The results presented in this article could be useful to all of those who are developing online courses for adult learners.
