In E-PODS focus is put on the elements of resources and trainings in secondchanceeducation.eu. These two elements will be further developed for teachers/trainers working in second chance education.


==Objective==
==Objective==
The e-Hoop is an online hub that promotes the advances of technology for lifelong learning. Its aim is to provide a flexible tool that can be tailored to the learner’s individual needs. Its unique adaptability allows users to insert their own learning material and use it according to their specific requirements. It is thus an innovative and practical application which fosters an inclusive learning environment by specifically targeting at socially and educationally disadvantaged groups.
EPODS will focus on two objectives:
 
The specific objectives for the universal learning environment are:
 
<br> 1. To provide educators with an easy-to-use, open-source, dynamic, modifiable and expandable tool which they can adapt to their own learning materials and teaching requirements.
<br> 2. To take full advantage of broadband technologies and open source paradigms.
<br> 3. To attract educators with innovative tools and paradigms.
<br> 4. To create a learning environment that will be fun for any learner.
<br> 5. To provide motivational tools for learning thus decreasing dropout rates.
<br> 6. To combine diagnostic with educational tools; therefore being able to adapt learning to the specific needs, background knowledge and cultural differences of the learners.
<br> 7. To provide an educational tool that is adaptable to the learning preferences and styles of the learner exploiting contemporary research and already developed tools.
 
==Dissemination==
 
The e-Hoop project not only foresees the immediate exploitation and valorisation of its ideas, products and results, but it also puts in place mechanisms and process to secure that the project’s impact will continue beyond its funded life time.
 
The main dissemination channels used by the dissemination plan are:  
*World Wide Web (project website and use of participative tools such as twitter, social bookmarking tools such as delicious, as well as project databases such as ADAM and EVE)
*Internet presence integrated with the Social Bookmarking and Networking Services delivered in the Flexible Platform for Internet Services (FPFIS)
*Publications in relevant forums, blogs & journals (e.g. Journal of Interactive Marketing)
*Media coverage (newspapers, newsletters, radio stations, professional publications)
*Events (Workshops/Conferences/Exhibitions)
*Partners’ existing networks of dissemination
*Off line promotion actions (brochures/leaflets, etc.)
*Consortium internal exploitation channels
*Special interest groups of end users
*Participation to EC concentration activities


*To promote European integration of professional development of teachers/trainers in second chance education
*To set up an organic / growing database connecting tools, schools, teachers/trainers and beneficiaries


==Partners ==
Partners include:
*world-experts in instructional design leading the scientific grounding;
*experienced universities in educational ICT who will design and develop the system
*organizations who will engage educators to use the system, upload learning objects, promote the e-Hoop concept, as well as diverse stakeholders to participate in structured dialogue and trainings.


==Outputs==


EPODS will be a European wide sustainable offer for teachers/trainers in second chance education. Local/national developments and networks will be integrated on a European scale offering innovation/digitalizing in further education of trainers/teachers working with NEET. EPODS will have as output and activities:
*Development of a European professional development service:
*Vitalise the online teacher/trainer community via providing e-content for teacher/trainers and webinars.
*Development of at least 10 e-learning courses for the current professional development offers on secondeducation.eu.
*Development of a tool to create your own e-learning course




==EPODS & Europe2020==


EPODS targets three out of five objectives of the Europe2020-strategy:
*EU2020: 75% of the 20-64 year-olds to be employed (now youth unemployment over 25%): EPODS increases employment opportunities for youngsters at risk by offering e-learning tools and connecting experiences to their trainers/teachers.
*EU2020: Reducing school drop-out rates below 10% (now 15,3%) and at least 40% of 30-34–year-olds completing third level education: EPODS invests, indirectly via teachers/trainers, in a vulnerable target group, who is at the highest risk of drop out and has the lowest chances in completing third level education.
*EU2020: at least 20 million fewer people in or at risk of poverty and social exclusion: EPODS offers concrete opportunities and develops tools for teaching and training in a community and network based integrated environment to avoid exclusion and to promote chances in the European society and labour market for NEETs.
