OLEE
Online Learning Engineering Environment
In our rapidly changing times, research and learning practices are being advanced and transformed based on arising challenges. The COVID-19 pandemic and the multiple restrictions posed on learning practices have affected multiple sectors and disciplines. The need for a rapid redesigning of educational practices, which so far were dependent on physical contact, has never been greater. Various aspects of research-based learning can and should be re-designed virtually so that learners/ trainees whose learning and training activities have been disrupted due to the COVID-19 pandemic can resume productive and fruitful enquiries. To this extent, the project aims to create virtual labs and online tools for VET learners whose studies programmes necessitate lab-based work, as in the engineering sector, so they can resume their activities and complete their studies by virtually fulfilling their learning obligations.
