SOCATEL PROJECT & EDUCATION
The SoCaTel project aims at creating a multi-stakeholder ICT platform which facilitates the co-creation of better and more accessible Long-Term Care (LTC) social services. To ensure long-term impact of SoCaTel’s outcomes, it is crucial that the young generation of social workers is educated about co-creation practices and their benefits. As such, under the leadership of FONTYS, a SoCaTel Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) is prepared in multiple languages and shared via the European MOOC repository so as to promote the incorporation of co-creation content in social work studies. This platform is part of the Opening up Education initiative to provide a single gateway to European OER (open education resources). The first adopters will be the universities participating in the project: URV, FONTYS, UTA, GFC and TCD. These 5 higher education institutes are planning to use the MOOC’s content and teaching resources in undergraduate and graduate courses.
