Situation
In the preparation phase, before the actual learning of content, the platform generates individual skills portfolios for users based on personal data. These contain both formal and informal confirmations of skills: Job references, certificates, letters of recommendation from peers, but also reference projects, feedback and self-reflections. The platform-generated “Competence Vitae” is the central output. To develop the individual portfolios, concepts of competence modelling, procedures for the recognition of competences, open-badge and e-portfolio principles are further developed and concretized for implementation on the platform in concrete pilots. On the basis of the portfolio, the SCESC recommends a suitable further training or retraining offer to learners. A digital “motivation booster” can also be booked to support the learning process. “The personalized, dialogue-based digital coach is a motivating factor. It shows users their strengths, weaknesses, learning progress and what helped or hindered their learning. It also gives learning tips and incentives to practise more.” The voice assistant thus made learning fun, supplemented with gamification elements and real-time awards.
