Target
Transformative, Adaptive, Responsive & Engaging Environment for Learning
The main objective of TARGET (Transformative, adaptive, responsive and engaging environment) is to research, analyze and develop a new genre of responsive Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL) environments, which supports rapid competence development of individuals, namely, knowledge workers. TARGET achieves a step change in what can be done through TEL by integrating five significant developments brought together here for the first time:
- Threshold Concepts
- Knowledge Ecology
- Cognitive Load Theory
- Learning Communities
- Experience Management
The following objectives will be met:
- Pave the way for mass adoption of this new genre of responsive environments
- Research and develop a TEL knowledge creation model that combines knowledge-push and -pull
- Build on the FP7 TEL funding to establish a sizable and sustainable community for TARGET
- Provide the TARGET communities, and end-users with a highly-engaging responsive environment
- Increase the accessibility to knowledge and expertise within communities
- Achieve awareness by target adopters of the TARGET assessment methodology
- Develop an integration framework compatible with existing Human Resource Management practices
The implementation strategy for TARGET has been devised to include issues like agile development approach, phased deployment, composition of the work plan that integrates activities which are logically related, project schedule that reflects the agile approach principles, and a combination of work practices that include collaborative work environment, developer teams, and peer review.
