Key Elements of THE GAD Methodology

The GAD Platform and Game offer tools with high transferability potential, as they can be easily used by teachers/ tutors/ educators.

Different activities to promote the tool will be carried out at the end of the project by the partners.

Through the platform it is possible to develop different types of open source educational content, according to the studentsneeds.

Through learning by doing, educators and trainers work on the development of several digcomps (levels 2,3,5,6 DigCompEdu) and are supported in creating their educational content and tailoring it to their specific needs/approaches
