ELoQ - e-learning-based logistics qualification

ELoQ is the acronym for "e-learning-based logistics qualification" and sums up the main goal of the project: realizing vocational education in the field of logistics for adolescents with disabilities through e-learning-based activities. As the target audience of the project is apprentices with disabilities, the e-learning methods and activities used within the project have to be fully universal accessible and thus usable for both apprentices with and without a disability. The apprentices will be qualified in the field of storagement logistics, comprising tasks like conveying goods, working in the goods receiving department, warehousing goods and picking and packaging.

To achieve the goal of the project, based on a sector study a curriculum for the vocational training will be developed. E-learning activities and methods require learning-management-systems (LMS) and authoring tools that are fully accessible and barrier-free. Therefore different LMS and authoring tools will be evaluated for their accessibility. Furthermore, different educational methods and settings – so called educational scenarios – will ensure e-learning activities to become an essential part of the vocational training.

Another critical aspect for sustainable integration of this training program (of the long-term success) can be identified in qualifying educational supervisors. Thus, educational training personal will be qualified within the project on how to use e-learning as a teaching tool and how to create their own accessible e-learning materials and courses.
