using Virtual Learning Applications" - IECUVADVLA
The aims and objectives of the project IECUVADVLA are to improve the chances of employment of the senior
citizens unemployed and of the persons with hearing and visual impairments, who often have a moderate level of
education.
In order to reach these aims, in the first 2 years the main activities were:
- analyse the unemployment situation in the countries represented in the partnership, the learners' needs and the
assistive and supportive technologies necessary for training people with visual and hearing impairments;
- establish contacts with representatives institutions, potential employers and with representatives of the target
group;
- identify the specific learning media methodology and the appropriate software;
- carry out of short national studies and matrix comparative report about the specific needs of the target group
and educational assistance by electronic means;
- carry out of specific instruments for learning, evaluation, training modules and other materials available on
web site, on CD and in print form (e.g. the FORTHSIGHT Programme 1.0 - The InTelligent Text Magnifier -
DEMO that offers facilities to the persons with visual deficiencies in reading and writing).
For the third year the main activities aim the dissemination through seminars and conferences, publications at national
and international level, press reports in regional and national newspapers, interviews given to broadcast and TV
emissions, using posters, panels, folders and CDs. The training modules will be improved and applied on learners in
order to increase the qualification of the senior unemployed.
The activities of the third year aims also to disseminate the project results and the best practices from different partner
countries, which will be realized by contacting the organisations responsible with disabled, through news letters,
discussions with managers, in order to convince them by possibilities to employ qualified unemployed seniors or
unemployed seniors with visual/hearing disabilities.
