A Universal Learning Environment

The e-Hoop Learning Platform is based on an open source training platform that will apply to different cultural and learning styles, and allows the adaptation of learning content based on the individual learner characteristics through the application of online diagnostic instruments.

The platform addresses people of all ages, learners and educators that are interested to learn and/or teach in ways different to the traditional methods of learning/teaching. The educational material is provided in a range of learning objects and views as well as in different languages so as to accommodate the individual learning needs of all learners. Additionally, integrated in the e-Hoop platform are several diagnostic tools (e.g. for disabilities, impairments, learning difficulties, learning styles etc)that enable the suggestion of the most appropriate to each learner educational material.

The learning environment fully exploits broadband technologies and paradigms.

Target Groups

The learning platform aims to address people of all ages and types with special provision to socially and/or culturally excluded people.

Benefits

The benefits of the learning environment comprise:

• Free personalized training, to all learners of all ages especially those who face high risk of social and cultural exclusion;
• The platform is under an open source license facilitating extension and modification, allowing to every educator and learner to benefit from it;
• Educators can upload their own Learning Objects to the platform thus supporting the concept of personalized learning;
• A fun learning environment that engages learners thus decreasing dropout rates;
• Provision of diagnostic tools enabling learners to adapt their learning experience, to their individual needs.

More information about e-Hoop and related readings are available at the e-Hoop webpage.
