AWARE: Ageing Workforce towards an Active Retirement


Description

The platform developed in the AWARE
was based on:
s Environment adaptation module
s Sharing knowledge module: This
module will enable workers to maintain
an active role after retirement
s ICT approach module: This module
will be a trainer tool for the platform
and the provided services.
The platform developed using opensource
software and the system will be
modular in design to maximize flexibility
and extensibility. Techniques of visual
exploration and emotional analysis were
used to identify the preferences of ICT
for the elderly people that they will use.
A special attention was focused in the
pedagogical methodologies implemented
in the platform (the educational models
that will be considered will be: recreational,
sociocultural, interactive, etc.).
The project aimed at developing a Social
Network totally designed basing on
the requirements and the needs of the
final users, and that will be integrated
in the final platform with all the other
modules.
