Learningapps

WHAT IS LearningApps?

LearningApps.org is a free Web 2.0 platform and enables teachers to create and manage multimedia learning modules in an attractive form online with little effort. In addition to common task types such as assignment exercises or crossword puzzles, the authoring tool offers around twenty other task formats that are constantly being expanded by the developers.
There is a choice of different languages and a large number of examples available as OER. The resulting learning modules are small, modular teaching content that can be embedded in existing teaching scenarios.
The aim of LearningApps.org is to increase the use of audio and video content in addition to the media text and images that are widely used in the classroom. The learning material can be individually adapted to the needs of the learners.

EXAMPLES

1. “Operational communication” is part of the learning content in learning groups for professional qualification. It’s all about how conversations can be successful and which “rules” have to be observed. With the help of a multiple choice quiz, learners can test their acquired knowledge. For example, teachers can use LearningApps.org to break down recorded footage into building blocks and incorporate interactive question elements.

2. An intern tries her hand in a warehouse in the goods receiving area. There are different processes to be observed. The job coach prepares a text with gaps in which the individual work steps are explained and important aspects are to be solved by the intern herself. The job coach sends the learning app to the intern via a link. During training days, she has the opportunity to learn the individual steps involved in receiving goods and to consolidate her knowledge.

“My participants really enjoy being able to independently test their knowledge in various digital formats. LearninApps.org is suitable for generating information and knowledge among learners, but above all for consolidating knowledge and testing yourself. My participants are encouraged when they realize that they have consolidated their knowledge. The playful approach also enables people with negative school experiences to enjoy learning again."

Learningsnacks

WHAT IS Learning Snacks?

Learning Snacks allows learners to learn in small chunks. The learning snacks are structured like a messenger chat. Information can be processed and can be loosened up again and again with quizzes. This microlearning enables learning material to be broken down into small and short units. The learners can edit the snacks on their smartphone or computer/tablet.
The Learning Snacks are interactive and text-based dialogue systems. The job coaches or educational advisors can enter knowledge questions and provide appropriate answer options to choose from. Motivating sentences can be entered for correct answers, which then appear. Learning snacks are particularly suitable for repeating content or deepening knowledge on various topics.

EXAMPLES

1. The participants in a measure learn how to behave in the event of illness. This includes, for example, assessing how it feels when you are sick. Who needs to be called and when do I need to go to the doctor? The participants have to learn and internalize all these steps in the course of the professional qualification. This information is discussed and processed in groups. Learning Snacks are suitable so that everyone can check their own knowledge again.

2. An employee works in retail and has to answer various customer inquiries during the working day. Many of the questions are similar in content. The employee finds it difficult to always answer in full sentences, even if he knows the right answers, he finds it difficult to formulate. His job coach creates a learning snack for him with the most common questions and he has to choose which answer sentences are the most appropriate. In this way he gradually learns to answer in complete and well-formulated answer sentences.

"The Learning Snacks are particularly suitable for dividing job-specific knowledge into small units. As a job coach, I can not only impart knowledge, I can also use the quiz elements to enable learners to independently check their own knowledge.”

Quizlet

WHAT IS Quizlet?

With Quizlet, you can create flashcards, use these flashcards for practice and play learning games with these flashcards. A flashcard always consists of the front, the term, and the back, the definition.
This app is particularly good for practising technical terms from the learners’ everyday professional life. It is possible to access a large repertoire of flashcards on different topics.

EXAMPLES

1. A trainee is trying out a new area of work. A lot of work is done with tools. As the trainee often has to provide tools to his colleagues, it is necessary that he knows the names of the tools. Together with the trainee, the job coach takes photos of the tools used. In the pro version of Quizlet, the trainee’s own photos can be integrated on the flashcards. The name of the tool is written on the back. The job coach can share the finished flashcard with the learner. The trainee can practise the tool names with a free version.

2. A worker changes work area within the hotel and now has more contact with the guests. As international guests also check in at the hotel, she has to learn some words in English that are important for the “hotel” area. The worker has to ask for room numbers at breakfast and answer easy questions from the guests. Together with the company colleagues, words and short phrases are identified that the employee should know. The job coach prepares a flashcard together with her. The app also supports the employee in pronunciation, as there is a read aloud function. As feedback to the boss, the employee can indicate her learning progress, which is displayed in the app.

"This app is particularly suitable for people whose mother tongue is not english or who have problems with reading and writing. Through the photos of their own company and the possibility of reading the terms aloud, people without reading skills can also get into a practice mode and independently expand their vocabulary."

Oculus VR

WHAT IS Oculus VR?

Oculus VR is an app that is used with a Virtual Reality headset to simulate a realistic 3-D depiction of a different setting or environment than the person is currently experiencing. Someone using the VR headset to see this simulation can interact with the new environment in a realistic way, as if they are actually there.

EXAMPLES

1) This tool can be used to prepare clients for travel training, by allowing them to experience through VR the experience of getting a train for example and being in the train station etc.

2) This tool can also be used to simualte the environment of a particualr job role, for example a barista. A client can then virtually prepare a coffee or other hot drink and have an idea of what the real-life experience may be like.

"We use VR headsets in our organisation to support clients to travel to new places. For example, last summer we went to a conference in Belfast and were able to upload images of the venue to the VR headset so one of our employees, who is autistic, could "walk around" the venue before the event and feel comfortable that he knew where he was going on the day. This helped to rid him of anxietiearound travelling to new places and being unfamiliar of his surroundings. It was amazing!"
