Project overview
Turning Digital improved the quality and accessibility of adult education by helping educators transform learning programmes into effective digital formats. The project combined capacity building with an online learning platform that supported educators in delivering e learning and gave adult learners easier access to skills development opportunities.
Turning Digital project was created and realized with intention to create a tailor-made employment support
system that will improve QUALITY and ACCESSIBILITY of adult education and consequently increase adult
PARTICIPATION in it. All that was recognized in pre-project analysis as gaps that should be addressed, both on
the level of participating countries as well as in Europe.Adult educators, as direct target group,were in search for
new skills and frameworks which will allow them to reach and engage adult learners into their educational
curriculum through e-learning systems, while maintaining quality of adult education activities. This need was
addressed through multi-level capacity building process and development of platform for continuous education of
adult educators to transform their curriculum into digital form, as well as to offer their e-learning educations
toward adult population. Adult learners as final beneficiaries were in search of high-quality and easily accessible
educations that will help them to find an employment. Hence, same platform was designed and shaped to enable
adult learners to expand existing and adopt new knowledge by attending distance learning training in a simple,
efficient, and economical way.
Project Results
Research with 62 adult educators from three partner countries mapped knowledge and skills across the preparation, implementation and evaluation phases of digital adult education. The findings informed the Turning Digital e learning guide and the project's capacity building programme.
The Turning Digital platform created two connected spaces, the Educators Hub and Learners Hub. Educators could strengthen their digital teaching skills and publish curricula, while adult learners could access free online learning opportunities designed to support skills development and employability.
