Overall objectives of the inclusive learning resource

Inclusive learning intervention logic: (What are the overall broader objectives to which the action will contribute?) 

It seeks to define what transformational learning with mobile technologies looks like and to help stakeholders design and evaluate transformative mobile learning episodes using a bespoke mobile app.

Objectively verifiable indicators of achievement: (What are the key indicators related to the overall objectives?) 

Sources and means of verification: (What are the sources of information for these indicators?) 

In the context of an Erasmus+ KA2 application the University of Hull (UK), National University of Ireland (Galway), PXL Hogeschool (Belgium), Hogeschool Inholland (The Netherlands), Centre for Advancement of Research and Development in Educational Technology (Cyprus), Technology Enhanced Lifelong Learning Consult (The Netherlands) and the University of Technology in Sydney (Australia) set out series of activities to achieve this ambition centered on the collaborative construction of a mobile app to support the developing and evaluation of innovative mobile pedagogies, designed and tested between the partners and a network of 24 associated partner schools working as part of a transnational network.       

Project Consortium: Universtity of Hull, University of Technology Sydney, Galway University NUI, Hogeschool PXL, Hogeschool Inholand, TellConsult, CARDET Cyprus.

Risks and Challenges:


Specific purpose of the inclusive learning resource

Inclusive learning intervention logic: (What specific objective is the resource intended to achieve to contribute to the overall objectives?) 

The project aims to demonstrate how the professional profile of educators  can be strengthened to ensure that learning is responsive to the benefits and opportunities afforded by mobile technologies. It seeks to define what transformational learning with mobile technologies looks like and to help stakeholders design and evaluate transformative mobile learning episodes using a bespoke mobile app, developed iteratively over three design cycles. Additionally, the app supports users in evaluating the impact of these transformational lessons, enabling teachers and their school leaders to make more informed judgments about how they invest and deploy these technologies in future.

Objectively verifiable indicators of achievement: (Which indicators clearly show that the objective of the actions/resource has been achieved?) 

Sources and means of verification: (What are the sources of  information that exist or can be collected? What are the methods required to get this information?) 

Risks and Challenges: (Which factors and conditions outside the user's responsibility are necessary to achieve that objective? (external conditions)) Which risks should be taken into consideration?  


Expected results on implementation of the resource

Inclusive learning intervention logic: (The results are the outputs envisaged to upscale. What are the expected results?) 

Objectively verifiable indicators of achievement: (What are the indicators to measure whether and to what extent the action/resource achieves the expected results?) 

Sources and means of verification: (What are the available sources of information for these indicators?) 

Risks and Challenges: (What external conditions must be met to obtain the expected results on schedule?) 


Activities

Inclusive learning intervention logic: (What are the key activities to be carried out and in what sequence in order to reach the expected results?) 

​The project includes the following activities:

​​The creation of a multi-purpose mobile app that will support educators and pre-service teachers in designing and evaluating creative and innovative learning episodes for their students. The project team uses a design-based research methodology to design and construct the app over three iterative cycles.

A scoping report informing the app development, involving extensive consultation with experts in the field of mobile learning.

Multimedia case studies on the use of the app in 24 partner schools.

An online MOOC and various academic papers to disseminate the outputs and findings from the project with a wider audience.           

The  MOOC is created  to support teachers and teacher educators in designing, evaluating and sharing innovative pedagogical activities or scenarios that embrace the use of mobile technologies as tools for teaching and learning

Objectively verifiable indicators of achievement: (What are the means required to implement these activities, e.g. personnel, equipment, training, studies, supplies, operational facilities, etc.) 

Equipment: PC and Internet access

Sources and means of verification: (What are the sources of information about action progress?) 

No costs

Risks and Challenges: (What pre-conditions are required before the use of the resource starts? What conditions outside the user's direct control have to be met for the implementation of the planned activities?)
