Project Number: 2020-1-DE03-KA226-SCH-093410 Βέλτιστη Πρακτική 11: LearningApps – interactive learning modules 1. Topic/ Area Open to all subjects 2. Target group Teachers, Students 3. Type of Best Practice Online tool(s), Application(s), Online platform, App 4. Date released 2012 5. Partners/ network a) Pädagogischen Hochschule Bern, Johannes Gutenberg Universität Mainz, Hochschule Zittau/Görlitz b) Switzerland 6. Level International/EU (available in French, Russian, Italian, German, English and Spanish) 7. Description of the methods/ approach and/or theories used LearningApps is a free, web-based software and platform for supporting learning and teaching processes. Small, interactive, and multimedia learning modules produced in a pre-structured process can be used individually (via a QR code or link) or integrated directly into learning content (e.g., wiki, blog, learning platform). The theory background is based in the triangle of educational sciences, computer science and school practice and thus has a strong interdisciplinary character. From the point of view of educational science, the platform is based on the fields of e-learning and multimedia learning and the question of suitable IT systems for the production and exchange of digital, multimedia and interactive learning modules. A user account must be opened for the production and administration of the user's own apps. For each app, it can be decided whether it is publicly visible or whether the app is only available via the link / QR code. The latter defuses the 14-copyright issue when using foreign images / videos 8. Purpose/Aim The app supports teachers of all grades and classes for online training to easily produce small learning programs to deepen, consolidate or repeat individual learning steps. The app allows tailored learning programs to all lessons and all objectives. Teachers can either browse apps or create own ones. Over twenty templates are available for developing a new learning task. Designing an app is even easier if a LearningApp of the same type is taken over and modified. This simply involves overwriting the content of the existing app and saving it under a new name.
