Project Details
Description
The research-project ECDL-PD (funded by the EC - programme LEONARDO II) aims to:
- Open the well known certificate ECDL to all (especially to impaired people - concerning visual, hearing, mobility and learning impairment), to enable and foster professional and social integration.
ECDL-PD wants to:
- Establish the ECDL as a standard in vocational training,
- Evaluate existing materials (Syllabus and training materials) and create add-ons for a better accessibility, which will not touch the worldwide well known and reputable ECDL-Standard.
- Work on information materials on different impairments (needs & possibilities, best-practice)
- Evaluate ECDL-Test Centers and develop quality labels.
