Canva

WHAT IS Canva?

Canva offers modern designed templates for almost every use-case (Social Media, Flyer, Logo, CVs, image editing). The great advantage is that it works according to the modular system and you can design by drag and drop. So you don’t have to have expensive and complicated image editing software anymore- you can choose between many fancy designs online and customize them for your purposes.

EXAMPLES

Social Media: with Canva you can achieve good looking and well designed results like instagram or facebook posts and storys. Furthermore, learning materials and CV for the participants can be created.

"In our organization, we use Canva for our Instagram account because it gives us good and fast ways to create designs for our posts- without having to learn difficult and expensive graphic ports. The posts can be posted directly to Instagram through the Canva app."

TaskCards

WHAT IS TaskCards?

TaskCards offers multiple digital boards and has a wide range of use cases. It can be used to store educational content that can be made available to clients in any place and at any time. Furthermore, it offers the possibility for remote teamwork, as well as individual work in classes, as well as for organisational topics.

EXAMPLES

1) Educational content can be stored and presented to clients. All types of content can be mixed, including text, videos, pictures, links or external tools. With an authoristion function, specific rights for reading and editing of content can be assigned to specific groups. That means, that you only have to provide one whiteboard, but you can share different links with – for example – more or less extensive difficulty. Or you can share one link, but activate content dynamically, when it is suitable.

2) To organise consultation days with job coaches, pedagogical assistants and clients, a board can be set up, where every time slot gets a different card. Further information like login data for video calls can be stored, as well.

"There are many more examples of how we use TaskCards in our organisation. We plan our collaborative teaching and collect ideas, we let participants work individually or collaboratively with TaskCards and we even started to think of creating portfolios. TaskCards is limited in it's functions, but that is precisely why it does what we want it to do."

Soy Cappaz

WHAT IS Soy Cappaz?

The Soy Cappaz app helps people with intellectual disabilities to learn how to better cope with daily life. This app enhances independence through example (pre-recorded videos). It is categorized into four categories: I need help – Where am I? – My Work and My Calendar.

EXAMPLES

This app is used to teach tasks that include various steps following a chronological order, as they are often difficult for our participants to remember, so this tool helps facilitate learning these steps. The participants learn independently by watching.

1) I NEED HELP- Helping the individual when travelling about. The steps taken to use the bus and arrive to work, for example. Each PID can have up to three caregivers on the app and if they need help or if they need to access any of these three caregivers, they can via the app. This is helpful when travelling in the city and the individual may get lost or change their route and they may have questions.

2) MY WORK- Dealing with his/ her daily tasks. We teach a concept such as how to use a washing machine, and then, through this app, the participant can try it again using a system consisting of self-created code bars that can be placed near the appliance (i.e.- a washing machine, or photocopier) the individual wants to use. By scanning the code, it automatically connects to the video created beforehand of how to use this appliance, so it creates cohesion and a connection between the previous learning and the present situation whilst enhancing independence. This is helpful, as the participant can use it as many times necessary until they feel they have learned the task.

"This app helps us in our work as it promotes our client’s independence through a visual, easy to use system. This app shifts the educator’s role to secondary, as the participant’s role becomes primary. It is especially helpful to us as educators teaching individuals who have difficulty reading, and difficulty remembering things."
