Short Description |
|
 Due to the dynamics in business environments and the large number of changes in job roles and tasks for
employees, a time-consuming development of formal learning offers and the organisational-wide provision of
vocational training are barriers for the wide adoption and use of learning technologies. Especially SMEs perceive
current learning technologies as insufficient to support learning-on-the-job.
Thus, the overall objective of MIRROR is to empower and engage employees to reflect on past work
performances and personal learning experiences in order to learn in “real-time” and to creatively solve pressing
problems immediately. MIRROR shall help employees to increase their level and breadth of experience
significantly within short time by capturing experiences of others. A prerequisite for exploring innovative solutions
in this context is to rely on human ability to efficiently and effectively learn directly from tacit knowledge – without
the need for making it explicit.
Specifically MIRROR will provide the following output:
- Conceptual model of holistic continuous learning by reflection which incorporates the essential ingredients of
training critical thinking, awareness of emotions, (collaborative) knowledge construction, creative problem solving
and innovation.
- Within a so-called “AppSphere” a bundle of real-time, interoperable learning applications that can be used
within the collaborative and social work environment of the employees.
- Prove of learning effectiveness through evaluation within five testbeds.
MIRROR will be the first technology-enhanced learning approach that can be used in highly dynamic working
situations where no teachers, no formal content, and no explicit knowledge are available. Existing research
results from projects such as APOSDLE, MATURE, PROLIX will be made enriched by combining them with
MIRROR applications.
The MIRROR consortium brings together 15 partners of Europe’s TEL industry, high-quality research and
testbeds.
