Projects
2020 9 Conversations: Network building for self-employment of refugees
The project will develop a set of self-study materials accessible to refugees to help them make better decisions when they start their own businesses in Europe. The Nordic study circle approach will be implemented to prompt refugees to have up to 9 conversations with appropriate local professionals in order to build the local network they need to succeed. NTNU is an associate partner sharing expertise in UDL and ConCurrent Design. My role will be supporting project management and ensuring quality.
2019 Prof E Sus: Implementing a sustainable mindset for a future-oriented lifestyle
When training guest-oriented vocational skills to students who will go on to work in small canteens, bed and breakfasts, cafes and restaurants, how do you impart a sustainable outlook? That is the challenge of the Prof E Sus project. We are developing a teacher training built on sustainable education competences and are exploring the value of case studies as a pedagogical approach. My role is quality assurance in project management and outputs.
2015 M-HOUSE: The purpose of the M-HOUSE project was to increase households’ awareness of their business potential and to valorize their entrepreneurial soft skills. M-HOUSE originates from the idea that households (both traditional and not) are based on simple business rules, which, if properly understood and valued can lead to greater creativity and employment opportunities.
My role in this project was to develop and implement the quality assurance plan, including the setting up of an external voluntary quality board of interested experts.
2015 FLITE: The dccdFLITE project built on the proven technique of using ConCurrent Design to fully develop an online course including the associated business plan to develop an online course that would train higher education students in entrepreneurial skills. These entrepreneurial skills included the use of CCD as a project management process. The project was aimed at IT students but open to anyone with an entrepreneurial interest.
My role in the project was to develop and implement the quality assurance plan including the establishment of a voluntary quality board of external experts to advise the project on the quality of its products.
2013 Uni-Key – Turning European placements into a learning environment for entrepreneurial skills – as a key competence of graduates of European universities
The Unikey “Bottom up approach” meant that we approached students/graduates when they get out of their “comfort zone” by undertaking an EU university-enterprise mobility period like Erasmus placements, for example, for which they need to leave their home university. Unikey identified key situations during a placement period and turned them into key entrepreneurial learning situations, i.e. entrepreneurial skill trainings aim to train and prepare for practical situations each student might experience before, during and after the stay abroad.
My role in the project was to develop and implement the quality assurance plan. I also helped in the development of the learning modules.
2012 UnderstandIT: The UnderstandIT project used the VITAE course to test how ConCurrent Design (CCD) could be used to develop a design document for an elearning course. ConCurrent Design originated in the engineering world and was here being transferred to a didactic context. The process of using CCD for elearning design can now be applied across educational institutions. One of the innovative aspects of the project is that the end product was not just a course implementation plan but also a business plan describing the resources needed and associated costs. My role in this project was to devise and implement the quality assurance plan.
2010 VITAE In this project which I coordinated, we aimed to empower vocational teachers to mentor their students and colleagues to work competently in the digital world. The core of the model is a “Train the Trainer” course.
