Open and innovative education, training and youth work, embedded in the digital era
Manufacturing is today based on multiple suppliers located in different countries and continents, intensively using automation, data exchange and advanced manufacturing technologies embedded in the digital era. New opportunities to advance manufacturing are based on the so-called “Industry 4.0” design principles, including: Interoperability, Virtualisation, Decentralisation, Real-time capability, Service orientation and Modularity. Measuring technologies and in particular Coordinate Metrology are an essential tool for the implementation of this concept in modern product engineering and process control; to operate, program and manage the most advanced measuring systems, highly competent and skilled personnel is required.
The project will design, implement and validate a set of tools and learning content to innovate education in Coordinate Metrology, taking advantage of new opportunities of the digital era. An innovative content development and distribution system will be developed, allowing the adaptation to individual preferences and featuring modern tutor-learners interaction by social networks. New interactive tools for the assessment of individual learning needs will enable the identification of customised learning paths and related assessment of learning outcomes. Moreover, the project will include active participation of learners to distance laboratory workshops using in real-time expensive measuring equipment, bridging the worlds of education and work.
