Within the context of the ERASMUS+ European project TRALMEDES (‘Training for Last Mile Deliverers/Drivers in Safe and Sustainable Urban Areas’), a training course on an open online e-learning platform was developed to be used by drivers. Learning is made independent of time and place by offering pills of interactive learning open educational resources (OERs) for experiencing a “5 minutes” learning bite. The training material was created in H5P (https://h5p.org/) in order to create engaging, mobile friendly, reusable, interactive content. The target users here are drivers, trainers and companies involved in the last mile delivery sector, but the approach can be adopted in other training domains.

The training consists of a learning outcomes-based approach where the contents are structured in 7 modules presented in two main sections: quizzes and interactive books (ibooks) (https://trainingforlastmile.eu/e-learning-platform/).

The goal is to play an engaging learning experience tailored to the target learner’s needs, a last mile delivery actor, providing individual personalization according to own propension and flexibility in an open learning path, and promoting an active role for the learner.

The basic idea is that the learner starts by answering quizzes on a preferred subject with or without any previous theoretical study on it: if she/he answers correctly he/she can move on, in case of failure she/he is invited to check the theory on an interactive book section where the concepts are clarified.

The entry point for learners are quizzes connected to the corresponding ibook section.

This mechanism has been implemented in the answer feedback of each question by setting references to the corresponding theoretical deepening developed in the ibooks. There are more than one hundred references that works as interaction points in the 14 quizzes of the 7 modules.

The pedagogical basis behind the approach is a digital adaptation to adult education of the Vigotsky’s scaffolding, where the platform, acting as a tutor, gives an appropriate support to learners. In fact, after assessing through a quiz the learners’ current level of knowledge and skills on a specific learning outcome, it directs the specific support to meet the needs of each learner through the feedback according to the answer, guiding the learner to work inside their proximal development zone.

This work has been developed by the TRALMEDES consortium (https://trainingforlastmile.eu/partners/) guided by SUPSI and Training2000.
