Development of an e-learning platform for the operation and management of biogas production units (DELOS)
Aim of the project
The goal of the DELOS project was the development of an electronic e-learning platform for the operation and management of biogas production units. The contents of the electronic platform, concern the process of anaerobic digestion and the operation of biogas units and were developed taking into account the main educational needs and gaps of the stakeholders and the personnel, employed in the anaerobic digestion units.
The methodology followed for the DELOS project derives from three main, strongly interrelated aspects, including the learning objective, the learning outcomes and the specific qualifications that the participants will acquire in the e-learning process. These qualifications can be described as the knowledge, perception, skills and abilities that ultimately lead to a successful performance of workers in biogas plants.
Pilot Plan Implementation
Thirteen modules were developed for the purposes of this project. These learning modules are provided as interactive presentations. Each learning unit consists of animated and non-slides and ends with several exercises, 80% of which must be answered correctly in order to successfully complete the course.
Through the DELOS platform trainees have an important opportunity to learn the basic principles of anaerobic digestion of agro-industrial waste, as well as to gain more specific, theoretical and technical knowledge of biogas production.
Project Partners
Four members from three different countries (Greece, Cyprus and Spain) participated in the program as partners. These were four companies (Green Technologies Ltd, Marketmentoro, Scico, Aitiip Centro technologico Zaragoza).
Funding
EU (Lifelong Learning Programme No: 2013-1-ES1-LEO05-68066).
