3.1. Thematic Area Competence
Describe the solution from the perspective of e-CAL
The use of the solution requires the improvement of specific ICT skills with respect to the
implementation of the Babelium platform to Moodle (a widely used platform at training
organisations) as well as on the production of video and audio although the appropriate tools are easy
to use. The teacher can either produce a video file using tools that are outside of the platform, such as
video editing software, and upload that file to the platform, or record a video using his or her webcam
and use that recording as an exercise. An appropriate short and understandable instruction is included
in the handbook.
