"In the context of lifelong learning (formal, non-formal, informal learning, work-based learning etc.) more types of learning and learning environments are emerging. The growing use of ICT tools, blended learning, e-learning and distance learning is demanding digital competencies of educators. Lack of educator’s digital competencies is acknowledged in many levels. There is a shortage of people who’d support, advise and facilitate educators with competence in andragogy as well as in using ICT in education. The development of e-learning to support adult learners requires an understanding of the principles of andragogy and learning design. Based on the characteristics of the adult learner, it is important to design e-learning - an accessible and comprehensible e-learning environment, e-learning materials that support learning, and e-learning process assessment attributes. The goal of the project is to support the growth of instructional design in adult education and develop a base of training for Instructional Designers in Adult Education (IDAE). The need for IDAE-s is in educational institutions, training centers, private companies (in HR and learning-training departments), third sector organisations etc. Current curricula and training of the instructional designers focus on formal education and the principles of pedagogy. Therefore, it is important to develop a curriculum to support the competencies of instructional designers in adult education, along with pilot training (recommended e-learning environments, e-learning materials and assessments) that can provide training for people who work or want to start working as IDAEs. The main outcomes of the project are three intellectual outputs: the curriculum of instructional designers, Instructional resources that include learning materials, learning and teaching methods, digital tools and IDAE educator’s handbook.Direct target group of the project is educators (teachers, adult educators etc.), who want to acquire the competencies of IDAE and educators from partner organisations who want to become IDAE educators. Indirect target group contains adult educators, adult learners, representatives of educational institutions and training departments of other organisations. The main objectives of the project are:1. Good quality of adult training.2. Efficient and purposeful use of digital tools in the learning and teaching process.3. Digitally competent educators.4. Cooperation between educators and instructional designers.5. An opportunity for educators to become an IDAE - a „supportive figure“, a facilitator between an adult educator and a learner. ParticipantsProject EDIT has 4 partners: *OÜ Innowise, Innowise Training and Development (Estonia) (leading partner) is a private adult education and training company. *Pucko otvoreno uciliste ANTE BABIC Umag - Universita popolare aperta ANTE BABIC Umago (Croatia). ""Ante Babić"" Open University Umag is an adult education institution.*Arbeit und Leben DGB/VHS NRW e.V. (Germany), is an institution for further adult education supported by the German Federation of Trade Unions (Deutscher Gewerkschaftsbund - DGB) and the German Associations of Adult Education (Volkshochschule - VHS). *Cead Profesor Félix Pérez Parrilla (Spain), a distance learning school for adults that depends on the Education Department of the Government of the Canary Islands. The important principle in achieving the objectives is including the phases of testing (e.g IDAE pilot training), collecting and analysing feedback from participants and other groups and complementing IO-s based on these results. The main results of the project are three intellectual outputs.IO1 Curriculum of Instructional Designer in Adult Education (IDAE) (includes pilot training in each partner organisation)IO2 Instructional resources (based online). Instructional resources include learning materials, student’s manual, instructional assignments, learning and teaching methods, recommendations for digital tools to support learning (based online) IO3 IDAE Educator’s Handbook (based online), (includes IDAE educators training).Completion of the project:*raises the awareness to use digital tools and e-learning purposeful ways and facilitates the competences of adult educators;*develops further understanding of the competencies of instructional designers in adult education;*creates opportunities to further educate instructional designers in adult education - not only among partnership and in partner organisation, but widely as the intellectual outputs are available in five languages on the project website.*supports adult educators in their teaching activities and helps to create high quality adult training in various learning environments."
