The project “Participation and Recreation through Inclusive Martial Arts Education and E-Learning” (acronym “PRIMAE”), approved by the Erasmus Plus National Agency in the UK as part of the program Erasmus Plus KA2 Strategic Partnerships for Adult Education as action n.2019-1-UK01-KA204-061975, has reached the middle of its development path and it is time to produce the appropriate interim report of activities. The European initiative, well coordinated by Ray Sweeney, head of Ikkaido Ltd (a registered charity based in Oxford), aims to develop the first platform to provide online education and training in the martial arts sector, providing an e-learning tool accessible to all, to promote the inclusion of people with disabilities through the aforementioned sport. A respectable partnership is working on the project which, in addition to the English Ikkaido Ltd, includes the following partners: Areadne Oe (Greece), EURO-NET and Futuro Digitale (Italy), Ikkaido Inclusive Martial Arts (Ireland), Stockholm Vastra Idrottsforening For Funktionsnedsatta (Sweden), University Of Cyprus (Cyprus) and Aux Couleurs Du Deba (France).
The project fits perfectly into the European Commission’s <<Europe 2020>> strategy for inclusive, smart, sustainable and active growth which sets the goal of relieving at least 20 million European citizens from poverty and social exclusion and, at the same time, increasing the employment of the population aged between 20 and 64 to 75%. The aim of the project is, in fact, to develop an innovative and useful training curriculum that will include modules that will range from martial arts coaching for adults and children to the use of medicines in sport, from the approach to disabilities to the protection and inclusion of vulnerable children and adults.
In the first year of activity, the partners worked hardly to develop the basis of the various intellectual products, collecting many good sectoral inclusion practices, placing the emphasis on the development of a necessary pedagogical plan, developing an e-learning platform where it will be possible to participate to online courses and a respectable training curriculum.
The objectives that the project wants to achieve – underlined Ray Sweneey, coordinator of the entire project – are very ambitious and that is why we are working hardly, despite all the problems that the covid-19 pandemic has created in the various partner countries, in order to develop a project to be proud of and which can be classified at the end of the activities as a good practice in the Erasmus Plus program because it will have allowed many people with disabilities to engage in physical activity and sport, opening up, at the same time, new job opportunities in the martial arts world. The ultimate goal of the partnership is that the project could be officially recognized by the various countries and by the CEN (European Committee for Normalisation): it would be an exceptional result to which all the Partners are dedicating themselves with great passion and that we are sure to to be able to obtain.
The European initiative, which can also be followed on social media thanks to a specific Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/IkkaidoPrimae, started in September 2019 and will end if there will be no extensions due to the pandemic, by February 2022.

The UbiCARS (Ubiquitous Context-Aware Recommender Systems) MDD Framework enables developers that are not experts in recommender systems to design and develop context-aware recommender systems for e-stores and physical retail stores. The resulting recommender systems use external recommendation engines and take advantage of customer-product interaction data from the e-store (customer ratings on products, customers’ browsing history and purchase history) and the physical store (customers’ staying time in front of products).
The evaluation of the UbiCARS MDD Framework aims to make you familiar with the framework, what it does, how it is used and what its results are, in order to provide your expert feedback through an online questionnaire.
Please spend 10 minutes to participate in the evaluation by following the instructions here.

PROJECT ISSA – INTERNATIONALISATION FOR SOCIAL AND INNOVATIVE START UP’S AND ENTREPRENEURS
Since October 2019, five entities coming from Norway, Spain, Cyprus, Greece and Bulgaria are working on the Erasmus+ project ISSA – ” Internationalization for Social and Innovative Start Up’s and Entrepreneurs” is an Erasmus+ project designed to identify core and innovative learning methods that best encourage success in international activities for start-ups and entrepreneurs”. Under the coordination of the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, the partnership will strive to identify core and innovative learning methods that best encourage success in international activities for start-ups and entrepreneurs. After the two years of duration of the project, the consortium of ISSA expects to contribute to solve the special needs of start-ups and entrepreneurs by designing and making available an innovative self-training modules and virtual learning platform.
Currently, the partnership of the project is working on field research and analysing the competences of the social entrepreneurs in order to identify the training content. The EntreComp framework (Bacigalupo et al., 2016) serves as a foundation for the competences included in the ISSA project, both by using two of its competences and by adapting the framework in the presentation of the social competences applied in the project. This document therefore refers to a large degree to the work by Bacigalupo and colleagues (2016), and a more thorough presentation of the framework is found in their report.
From the field research report conducted by ISSA, the following four competences were identified as the most prominent for social entrepreneurs in an internationalisation process:

European Union Digital Education Framework and Companion Evaluation Toolkit
Created to act as a quality standard, the interactive European Union Digital Education Framework and Companion Evaluation Toolkit (EU-DEF) was adopted to guide the design, delivery and evaluation of education programmes, study units, sessions courses, and modules (http://project-digit.eu/index.php/digital-education-quality-standards/). The EU-DEF proposes five critical dimensions of an effective online product or event—structure, community, content, delivery and support – required to elicit five levels of outcomes, the pinnacle of which is organizational change.
The variables and sub-variables in the framework were identified from an extensive review of literature from existing digital education frameworks and models (link to table) and highlight what an educator should consider when designing, delivering and evaluation effective digital education.

ELSE Erasmus+ Project aims to design and disseminate a strategy and appropriate ICT tools to achieve the fundamental European goal of redesigning Higher Education, facilitating the application of Bologna principles across Europe.
Two fundamental principles of Bologna remain unrealised: 1. Students continue to be peripheral to the process of knowledge co-construction, and 2. the potential for true pedagogical innovation through new technologies that can enhance the learning experience is underexplored.
ELSE aims to design an innovative learning environment based on learner-centred pedagogies, which can activate students’ learning process through problem-solving, learning-by-doing, gamification, and digital information research. The Flipped Classroom paradigm is used where homework activities are moved from after the class to before the class, students have a first touch with the subject at home, and practice, extra material and questions are conducted later during the class.
Three tools were developed in the context of the project:
– E-Voli is a video-tagging tool that enables teachers to upload their videos and provide links to their students to access and view them before going to the class. Each student can add tags to specific time points of the video, demonstrating their comprehension or not of the content, questions or remarks. The teachers can then view a summarised preview of their students’ tags, being able to understand which parts of the course material need further elaboration within the classroom and which parts can be skipped, being in this way in line with the flipped classroom methodology.
– E-Core is a Serious-Game building platform, allowing teachers to create and develop their scenarios based on the course they are teaching. The students are then requested to play the game and to answer multiple-choice questions. When they reach the end of the game, the students can review their success percentage for the game, being able to try it again and again to improve their scores, and henceforth their comprehension of the specific subject.
– E-Dash: Flipping Moodle
The University of Cyprus team was in charge of developing a tool aiming at harmonizing Moodle Learning Environment with the concept of the flipped classroom.
The E-Dash tool offers combined and mixed learning data, including grades, comments, questions and more for each student. These data assist teachers to gain an overall picture of their students’ performance, grades, and whether the students have tried the various activities or not.
For a teacher, a board combining the data of all students of a specific course, and a separate personalized board for each student of the course are offered. For students, their learning data for each enrolled course are presented separately.
All learning activities are categorized based on: (i) whether the activity is “mandatory”, “optional” or “recommended”, and (ii) whether the activity is used as “flipping”, “during” (the class), or “after” (the class). By selecting an activity, teachers and students have access to a visual aggregated overview of the accomplishments, in different formats depending on the data produced by each activity/tool.
Please contact us if you are interested in using any of the above tools.
