LEAP will:

• Create an ePortfolio environment to facilitate improvements in learner performance, motivation, engagement and achievement;
• Create an Open Educational Resource which will be freely accessible and available on-line;
• Adopt a learner-centered pedagogy using digital technology (DT), resulting in a rich, personalised and adaptive learning experience leading to improved learner performance;
• Enhance access to formal and informal training, certificated and uncertificated VET programmes;
• Enable VET institutes to link assessment criteria to open digital badges;
• Train VET teachers, trainers, assessors and moderators to use LEAP thereby further strengthening key competences in VET;
• Encourage reflective and self-directed learning leading to deeper learning and to the transfer of knowledge and learning to hands-on performance whether in a work-based or a learning scenario

The LEAP project intends to create a ‘step change’ in the use of E-Portfolios as process-based pedagogical tool to improve learner and VET provider performance. It will exploit Digital Badges including open digital badges to create an engaging learning process leading to improved performance by learners and teacher/trainers. Read more...
