As we speak, ladies and gentlemen, in Patras, Greece, right now, 10 people from all over Europe are analyzing, setting goals, identifying risks, and envisioning the future of a rather interesting Erasmus+ project: iLearn4Health is a fact!
iLearn4Health is a project that focuses on delivering high quality health education to primary school students, while at the same time training their teachers on innovative teaching practices and the exciting DGBL method! Digital Game-Based Learning (DGBL) is an innovative method in supporting children to the learning process not only in classes, but also by distance. Worry not if DGBL sounds Greek to you, as details are coming soon!
Main Objectives
The 8 partners have arrived in every way possible from Cyprus, Romania, Poland, and Spain, apart from Greece, for a 2-day Meeting in our beautiful city, regarding the goals and objectives of iLearn4Health. The project’s goal is spread across 3 main points:
- Enabling the teachers and children to develop a scientific point of view of health, with reference to traditional and modern concept of health.
- Allowing teachers to provide high-quality health education by using a Curricula based on that concept.
- Promote Digital Game-Based Learning (DGBL) in primary schools.
Project Results
Through iLearn4Health, 3 project results are going to be produced:
- Electronic Diagnostic Tool to diagnose the effectiveness of the DGBL method on children’s learning.
The Electronic Diagnostic Tool identifies the factors that influence the effectiveness of DGBL on students.
