AmbientLearningAmbient, multimodal and context-sensitive lifelong learningMain obstacles to lifelong learning: time and money.
A survey commissioned by the European Directorate General Education and Culture, called "Lifelong learning: a citizen’s view" identified the main obstacles to lifelong learning: time and money. “Although European citizens recognise the personal and social benefits of learning, they underline that lack of time due to job and family commitments is an important obstacle. […] This suggests that implementing lifelong learning effectively must find ways to enable people to combine activities in ways that suit them practically and personally”. Objectives of the project
Exactly at the above identified obstacles start the AMBIENT LEARNING project. The objective of the project is to provide a pragmatic, easy-to-use eLearning service, which allows any time, any where and any how access to personalised, high quality learning content. The AMBIENT LEARNING service is based on stable and mature technology and offers ambient, multimodal, personalised and context-sensitive access to learning at work, at home, at a training institution or on the move. The main purpose of the project is the market validation of the AMBIENT LEARNING service by demonstrating the various services in four European (Italy, Germany, Greece, UK/Ireland) regions and therefore preparing the ground for successful market deployment. Main distinguishing features
The main distinguishing features of the AMBIENT LEARNING services to other eLearning approaches are the following:
