Moocs for digital inclusion

The strategic partnership will promote actions, at a national and international scale with the purpose of building contents, digital instruments and analyzing the impact of ICT in a global world. It will pay special attention to learners that have never used the Internet and with disadvantaged backgrounds. It aims to help people facing the process of civilizational change (social, political, economic, and cultural) and, consequently, to shape the needs of future generations.

The main outcomes of the project will be:

A multiplatform embedded with augmented reality (mobile, tablet)
An e-book regarding “good practices guide in ICT”
Multi-trans-disciplinary e-modules about “Academia Equity and Inclusion – disadvantaged backgrounds”
An interoperable and multi-platform website
Digital educational content (MOOC)
Modular compilation of OER content about “learners with disadvantaged backgrounds”
Market based resource-scaling tools to employability
Providing context aware services for a Digital labour-market life-cycle
Market-based resource scaling policies for cloud applications
