CodeMob- Teaching coding and mobile devices in telecentres
period: October 2015 – October 2017 source of funding: Erasmus + KA2 Strategic Partnership for Adult Education coordinator: ALL DIGITAL website: http:// www. codemob. eu
The CodeMob project responded to identified needs for developing an innovative training curricula and providing training courses on coding and the effective use of mobile devices in telecentres.
These topics were particularly relevant for young jobseekers. Therefore the objectives were twofold: firstly to enhance the digital competences of unemployed young people; and secondly to enhance e-facilitators’ competences by training them how to deliver these courses.
We involved 17 e-facilitators from four countries who participated in blended learning including face-to-face training and online learning. More than expected, 125 young job seekers took part in the pilot training, delivered by the trained e-facilitators.
The development of the training curricula was preceded by a desk research for similar courses and curricula across Europe, and a thorough needs analysis of the target group. The CodeMob curricula was presented and validated at an international workshop held in Brussels in March 2017.
To implement the blended learning training programme, an online training platform was developed. The platform, available through the CodeMob project website, is aimed to be also used by other e-facilitators, outside of the Consortium and of those who already participated in the programme.
In October 2017 a“ Do It Yourself” toolkit was published for telecentres and other educational and training organisations. It presents the CodeMob curricula, introduces the online learning platform, and also gives practical tips on how to implement such training programmes in digital training centres.
The project was implemented in partnership with four ALL DIGITAL member organisations: Interface3( Belgium), Telecentar( Croatia), ComNet( Hungary), and Colectic( formerly El Teb, Spain); with the methodological support and quality insurance by the Technical University of Dortmund( Germany).
