There is an urgent need in industry to match the training of professionals with today’s industry needs of increasing process flexibility, meeting customer and societal needs, delivering high environmental, social and ethical performance, and rapidly changing career paths of the workforce. This training should be pace-based, attractive, of high-quality, tailored to the audience and modular so learners can learn anything, anytime, anywhere. MOTOPED project will provide an approach for high quality training on demand using a blended learning approach for fast, efficient, effective and focused training of new and existing workforce, especially to increase innovation. Therefore a generic web-based training based on a toolbox approach and consisting of different teaching methodologies (videos, presentations, reading material, knowledge clips, quizzes …), the MOTOPED concept, will be developed and piloted with learners from the industrial partner. The MOTOPED concept will provide the possibility to complement the generic toolbox with add-on modules, tailored to the audience.
This will allow potential further commercialization of the platform, since it can be easily tailored to other companies or to other sectors. The project will lead to a more highly skilled workforce in the sector and as such contribute to the key targets of EIT Raw Materials.
