Learn More About Digital WBL Project
Digital WBL project want to develop an innovative methodological approach through virtual reality and go beyond the current training standards in e-learning methods. When the pandemic started we faced with a criticality in carrying out formative paths in enterprises. To go on with distance VET learning courses, we had to overcome not logistical difficulties but, above all, we had to deal with new teaching digital approaches. VET teachers had to develop new skills, competences and methodologies.
However, in a time of difficulty, we realised that our community was full of resources and opportunities. We understood that through collaboration with different local entities, like Innovation Hub, Universities and research centres, we could carry out our VET courses and at the same time we could enrich our educational expertise and provide a better training experience. The collaboration with other local realities allowed a didactic continuity and it made the training more heterogeneous. Moreover the cooperation allowed the training activities to be applied in different areas and sectors by achieving a greater impact on the territory In addition, we identified a great commercial potential related to the implementation of the metaverse and virtual reality in the educational field.
The project wants to guide VET trainers and Institutions into include digital work based learning path in order to provide a better training experience and capable of creating new business opportunities. Through Deal with Digital WBL project we want to develop an innovative methodological approach through virtual reality and go beyond the current training standards in e-learning methods
