TENCompetence will meet the needs of users (individuals, groups and organizations in Europe) for lifelong competence development by establishing the best infrastructure, which is possible today, using open-source, standards-based, sustainable and extensible technology.
TENCompetence will conduct RTD activities to further develop and integrate models and tools in four specific areas: the creation, storage and exchange of
- knowledge resources,
- learning activities & units of learning,
- competence development programmes and
- networks for lifelong competence development.
TENCompetence will provide:
- New innovative pedagogical approaches, assessment models and organisational models forlifelong competence development, supported by the TENCompetence infrastructure.
- Software for the effective support of users who create, store, use and exchange knowledgeresources, learning activities, units of learning, competence development programmes andnetworks for lifelong competence development.
- Integration of the isolated models & tools for competence development into a commonframework.
The consortium will disseminate the products widely and for free (using open source & creative commons licences). It will develop new business models for SME’s and other companies to provide services in the market. A growing pool of associated partners will be trained to deliver these services in practice.
Pilots are planned for the following areas: a) training for digital cinema, b) training for continuous education of health workers, c) UNESCO-IHE competence development in water management and d) The Antwerp lifelong learning city.
