This is a short description of the ACAT Method.The method uses analogous comparisons by taking examples or situations from everyday life and in consequence the logical or analogous transfer to the scientific problem. The method uses the development of imaginations or “pictures in the head” to develop a view of the analogy; this picture is transferred as a problem-solving idea to the concrete scientific problem. Multimedia material like animations are used to provide a higher level of imagination and to develop the understanding for the discussed problem.

The DISK project aims to develop missing digital competencies of adults (Adult Education AE with a special focus on so-called ”digital immigrants” which are people disadvantaged in society due to their lack of digital competencies DC and therefore count to minor educated people in DC) and to enable them to take an active role in the digital society.
The objectives are to create, implement and evaluate 15 modules teaching various specific topics related to everyday life covering DCs as a “Digital Immigrants Survival Kit” (DISK), to use flipped learning 3.0 as the training approach, to create an innovative self-evaluation tool based on competency-based self-evaluation mandalas, to create a transferability and implementation guide, to transfer the results and outcomes in a flexible way in other European countries and finally to publish the modules of the DISK Toolkit as Open Educational Resources (OER).

This document presents an analysis of the use of multiple devices in the context of multimedia-based learning. The paper includes an empirical study of learners who have used multiple devices to access and engage with learning materials. The study findings reveal that the use of multiple devices can enhance the overall learning experience for learners by providing flexibility, convenience, and accessibility. However, the study also identified several challenges associated with the use of multiple devices, such as technical issues and cognitive overload. Based on the study findings, the paper provides recommendations for the implementation of training courses delivered with multiple devices, including the need for clear guidelines and policies, user-friendly interfaces, and technical support. Overall, this document provides valuable insights for educators and trainers interested in leveraging the potential of multiple devices for enhancing the learning experience.

This paper presents an innovative method of learners’ motivation and self-evaluation in …
This paper presents an innovative method of learners’ motivation and self-evaluation in the frame of School Education. This method was developed between 2017 and 2018, has been evaluated in a case study in 2018 and has been tested in an international project in Austria, Italy, and Spain in the last twelve months. Active learning using technology is a common way to achieve good learning outcomes. On the one hand, the pre-knowledge of learners is often unknown. On the other hand, educators should create strict and well-defined descriptions of the taught competences. Finally, the learning success should be evaluated. The self-evaluation mandala is an aid for all these important issues and gives learners the direct feedback – based on the learners’ estimation – of the learning success. Mandala is a graphic depiction which aims to increase the learners’ control, satisfaction and, ultimately, motivation. It describes the taught competences in terms of knowledge, skills, and attitudes. The depiction or graphical pattern with the competence description enables self-assessment to take place at a regular pace throughout a course. This is done as a formative assessment, to provide “just-in-time feedback” as well as at the end of the course in form of summative assessment. The self-evaluation mandala forces teachers to create a well-defined description of the taught competence in terms of knowledge, skills, and attitudes. Learners use the mandalas to get informed about their future learning and give a pre-learning feedback of their pre-knowledge before starting their course. Finally, at the end of the course, the learners give feedback about their learning success using the same mandala. The comparison makes their development immediately visible. The paper explains the idea of the mandalas, their use and implementation in practical teaching. It presents a study of the successful implementation in school education (with students at secondary high school level) from several European countries. This study was performed as a research part in the frame of the ERASMUS+ project “Virtual Teachers’ Toolbox VTT-Box” 2017-1-ES01-KA201-038199 in the years 2018 and 2019.
