During the month of July, the STEAM People project partners have collected the results of the WebApp validation process.
The validation has been carried out to evaluate whether the WebApp prototype is useful, to assess whether activities facilitate the development of the planned skills and competences, and to evaluate whether it addresses the needs of adult learners, which will allow the improvement of the prototype and the development of the final version of the platform.
For the validation phase, the project has involved a total of 38 adult trainers and 105 adult learners from 5 different countries (Turkey, Spain, Sweden, Germany, Estonia and Portugal) who have collaborated by giving their opinion on the WebApp after testing it.
The results obtained in the validation were very positive!
Adult trainers feel that the WebApp is practical, and they like the content that available in it, the wide variety of activities and the visual elements. Adult learners were also happy with the WebApp: they also thought that it’s practical and has a wide variety of interesting challenges, and also consider that the topics covered are innovative and interesting.
Of course, things can always be improved. At the online meeting held this month, partners discussed the feedback received from participants to implement improvements to the prototype of the WebApp. The improvements that will be implemented in the final version are diverse, designed to make the user experience better:
- The platform will be programmed so that it recognises the user’s language automatically.
- Levels of difficulty will be added to the challenges.
- Higher quality photos and graphics will be added to improve the visual elements of the challenges.
- A user guide will be created in video format, which will explain how the WebApp works in a simple way.
Once the improvement work is completed, the final version of the WebApp will be released, open and free for any user interested in it.
