Item TRAILER Project (Tagging, Recognition, Acknowledgment of Informal Learning Experiences) A Methodology to Make Learners’ Informal Learning Activities Visible to the Institutions(2013-09-24) García-Peñalvo, Francisco J.; Conde-González, M.

(JCR).Item Enhancing informal learning recognition through TRAILER project(2013-09-24) Conde-González, M. Á.; García-Peñalvo, Francisco J.; Zangrando, Valentina; García-Holgado, Alicia; Seoane Pardo, Antonio M.; Alier Forment, Marc; Galanis, Nikolas; Griffiths, Dai; Johnson, Mark; Janssen, Jose; Brouns, Francis; Vogten, Hubert; Finders, Anton; Sloep, Peter; Marques, Maria Arcelina; Viegas, Maria C.; Alves, Gustavo R.; Waszkiewicz, Elwira; Mykowska, Aleksandra; Minovic, Miroslav; Milovanovic, MilosThe evolution of new technology and its increasing use, has for some years been making the existence of informal learning more and more transparent, especially among young and older adults in both Higher Education and workplace contexts. However, the nature of formal and non-formal, coursebased, approaches to learning has made it hard to accommodate these informal processes satisfactorily. The project aims to facilitate first the identification by the learner (as the last responsible of the learning process), and then the recognition by the institution, in dialogue with the learner, of this learning. To do so a methodology and a technological framework to support it have been implemented. This project have been tested in several context and it is possible to say that an informal learning dialogue between learners and people in chargé of the institutions is possibleItem Managing Informal Learning in professional contexts: the learner’s perspective(2013-09-24) Marques, Maria Arcelina; Viegas, Maria C.; Alves, Gustavo R.; Zangrando, Valentina; Galanis, Nikolas; Janssen, Jose; Waszkiewicz, Elwira; Conde-González, M. Á.; García-Peñalvo, Francisco J.Informal Learning is present in everyone's life but its awareness only recently has been reported. The need to keep track of the knowledge acquired this way is increasing as its sources diversity also increases. This work presents the pilots trials on the use of a tool developed to help keeping track of the learners’ informal learning, within a number of companies spread out in three countries. This tool developed through the European Commission funded project TRAILER, is still under development, which will allow integrating the set of improving suggestions obtained from users during the piloting phase. The overall idea of managing one’s informal learning was well accepted and welcomed, which validated the emerging need for a tool with this purpose.Item TRAILER project overview: Tagging, recognition and acknowledgment of informal learning experiences(2013-01-15) García-Peñalvo, Francisco J.; Zangrando, Valentina; García-Holgado, Alicia; Conde-González, M. Á.; Seoane Pardo, Antonio M.; Alier Forment, Marc; Janssen, Jose; Griffiths, Dai; Mykowska, Aleksandra; Alves, Gustavo R.; Minovic, MiroslavThe evolution of new technology and its increasing use, have for some years been making the existence of informal learning more and more transparent, especially among young and older adults in both Higher Education and workplace contexts. However, the nature of formal and non-formal, course-based, approaches to learning has made it hard to accommodate these informal processes satisfactorily, and although technology bring us near to the solution, it has not yet achieved. TRAILER project aims to address this problem by developing a tool for the management of competences and skills acquired through informal learning experiences, both from the perspective of the user and the institution or company. This paper describes the research and development main lines of this project.
