Distance learning solutions for the pandemic

The resilience of education and training systems in pandemic times was based on their ability to continue the process after the closure of on-site learning. Distance learning has become a solution for many learners, with the support of various virtual education tools. Researchers and education professionals are called upon to support the transition to online learning, especially for vulnerable groups.

In this context, F2F Trust perfectly meets the current learning needs. The distance learning tool developed within the project is designed to help women access entrepreneurship, flexible working arrangements, to change their daily lives and to become active on the labor market.

The F2F Trust distance learning model is based on the positive role of mentoring, which is one of the most effective mechanisms in adult education and training, especially for low skilled adults like project target group: women of all ages who have craft skills and live in rural areas from their countries and / or perhaps belonging to minorities.

The learning program for mentors and mentees is presented on the F2F Portal in the friendliest way by an Avatar that transmits empathy through mimicry and vocal tone capturing students’ attention and giving them confidence.

F2F Trust Portal offers free accessibility from laptops, tablets with Android operating system and mobile phones.

This innovative product has a high transferability potential. In addition to being open to transferring other e-learning topics, its usefulness is all the more demonstrated in the pandemic and post-pandemic periods, when we need to find solutions to be safe and healthy, but at the same time to continue all our activities and development staff.
