ABSTRACT
The analysis of successful projects provides valuable information for finding inspiration and learn from good practices to implement them in future projects. In the case of Erasmus+, there is a very rich project database with catalogued projects that allows access to them what is very useful to analyse the published data of good practice or success stories projects. In the research that is being carried out, reason for this article, a group of good practices or success story projects related to eLearning have been selected, they have been analysed based on the information found on the Erasmus+ Projects Results Platform, their coordinators have been surveyed to gather more information from the projects and interviews are being carried out with those coordinators whose projects have been, and continue to be, useful beyond the funding period even in the pandemic crisis. This article presents the methodology for the interviews and the first results obtained in four of them as an example. The main results for the success and sustainability have been the importance of analysing the needs of students and/or teachers in innovative themes, the integration of the project outcomes into the teaching-learning processes and a good relationship with the project partners. All that using ICT as a tool to better implement the project activities with an easy access from any place, at any time and with any type of device.
ABSTRACT
The work presented in this paper is the result of research on Erasmus+ projects, related to the educational field and with a connection to eLearning, that have been classified as good practice or successful story. This publication shows some of the results obtained from administering a survey to the project coordinators. Specifically, it focuses on the responses collected from two sections of the survey that have to do with the possible factors considered the reason for being successful projects and their main characteristics. At the same time, it is explored the sustainability of the project results over time and how they have been useful in the pandemic. The main findings show that the results have been positive with sufficient funds to be able to carry them out and with the capacity to go on using them once the grant period has ended. Additionally, they have also been useful on the occasion of COVID-19.
ABSTRACT
The European Union and associated countries are working on European projects that provide relevant information on the methodologies used at the educational level through different programs, including the Erasmus+ Program. These projects are the source of inspiration for the research that is being carried out to obtain a methodological guide for the successful use of digital technologies in education to improve learning. This article focuses on how the research has been approached, the analysis of projects classified as good practice or success stories related to eLearning and/or ICT, the advances in data analysis carried out so far with the main results obtained in the project mapping process and the development and application of a survey, which give clues about the most relevant aspects of the projects reviewed.
