The project is aiming
the development of an adaptive curriculum in engineering education that is
based on digital learning resources for mobile devices, responds to the
requirements for modernization and accessibility of the Jordanian high
education system to improve the educational integration of disadvantaged
learners in the educational system - groups in risk whose special needs or
socioeconomic status significantly restrict their ability for adequate
education.
Specific objectives:
1. Analysis of user
needs in different contexts and existing curriculum at three Partners
universities.
Given the objectives
of the project, this study is oriented toward assessing the extent of use of
these technologies by the specified groups of learners and opening opportunities
for their inclusion in the learning process.
2. Design of Mobile
Digital Resources (MDR) Model to support the didactic features of mobile
technologies in order to adapt them to the training conditions of disadvantaged
groups of people
3. Design of
educational scenarios:
1) Use of mobile
technologies to expand training opportunities for students with special needs;
3) Use of mobile
devices for distant training of socio-economic disabled people.
The general objective
of the scenarios is improvement of the conditions for equal access to education
and training by enhancing the motivation to participate in the educational
process, by facilitating the access and by additional activities with the
students.
4. Development and
adaptation of mobile applications and digital educational resources
This objective
addresses the need for implementation of m-learning generalized across a range
of disciplines in the field of engineering education and across institutions,
the needs of disadvantaged group’s education and training.
5. Strengthening the
institutional capacities of the 3 Jordanian universities through short term
intensive training of academics and staff members.
6.Creating system of joint actions and co-operation between partner universities
