We have just finished the following Grundtvig workshop, scheduled for 22-29 September 2013:
"Usage of the modern ICT potential in awakening motivation to read among adults"
(ICT: Information and Communications Technologies)
During the workshops the adult educational staff was introduced to the ICT potential, like: creation of communication platforms, creation of digital materials for mobile devices (tablets, smartphones, e-book readers), online tutoring, forums administration or blog creation.
Next, the participants decided which ICT solutions for informal education they would like to implement for their trainees and students, to rise their competences in the ”adult literacy” field.
After identification of their needs, they were working on their own projects which they would implement after returning to their institutions.
During the workshops the participants were working on the actual solution, which they would be able to implement in their institutions.
The solutions, which were presented during the training were as follows:
-Creation of a readers forums for the public library, allowing the readers to order/extend books via the internet, while obtaining additional information, commenting, posting in forums administered by the library staff
- Working with adults in the multicultural schools on the joint event (for example a theatrical spectacle based on the local mythology, telling tales, publication of those tales in a form of an audiobook)
-Creation of an educational platform for the low-skilled, allowing the informal online education (written text understanding – law, official), cultural and lingual aspects and in the end better adaptation to the society
The workshop were supplemented with the meetings with the institutions, which implemented ICT solutions rising reading/writing skills among adults from the ”adult literacy” groups.
The participants were introduced to the good practices for working with seniors in public libraries.
