Intellectual Output 2 - Learning Materials

The materials will be produced by means of a writing programme, and will follow closely the map of contents previously designed and being part of the first Intellectual Output. The learning materials will be either 1) an adaptation of the materials of the E-LOCAL courses to the new device or 2) the production of new and ad hoc learning resources.

The learning materials will be produced in 4 languages: Italian, Polish, Finnish and Portuguese, according to a uniform pattern. 4 task forces – one for each language and culture – will be in charge of the production of learning materials.

The detailed programme for the production of learning materials will be divided into four stages, strictly intertwined with the roadmap of the Intellectual Output 3.The programme for the production of the learning materials will be supervised by Unibo, which is the leading organisation of this Intellectual Output and provides all task forces with experts. All the other partners participate in the implementation of this Output by contributing to the work of one task force.

This output includes as main results the following activities:
a) Re-contextualisation of contents. Based on the common map of contents, an analysis of the existing learning materials developed for the E-LOCAL courses will be carried out, in order to re-contextualise them and make them usable with the new tool. Part of the existing materials - in particular the story dialogues, the cultural parts, the everyday life descriptions - can be effectively re-adapted for the new device. The analysis will point out 1) which materials can be readapted (i.e. the selection of learning resources chosen to be inserted in the APP); 2) how they can be readapted (i.e. the interventions to be made in order to have them re-contextualised) and 3) the necessity of creating new materials, in order to comply with the established map of contents.
b) Creation of materials. This is the production of all the learning materials to be included in the APP. It consists in the work of adaptation of existing resources as well as in the production of brand new materials if this is deemed to be necessary.
It is worth underlining that this kind of adaptation does not present any copyright problem since the learning materials were produced by the same partner institutions during the E-LOCAL project and an agreement signed by all partner institutions regulated this kind of development.
