Vila-B

In the “Vila-b” project, a continuing training measure for “specialists in ecological and climate-friendly renovation of old buildings” was designed, implemented and evaluated. For this purpose, learning on the construction site was enabled by a developmentally structured, didactically oriented approach centred on virtual learning in the work process. An overarching blended learning approach complemented the learning concept. The results are intended to help secure the competitiveness of small and medium-sized enterprises in the construction sector by expanding their specific skills in ecological building. For this reason, a competence centre was established in Verden, which offers the continuing training measure after the end of the project in cooperation with the nationwide Working Group for Ecological Timber Construction (AKÖH) and its cooperation partners. The learning concept developed in the course of the project is primarily aimed at the target group of skilled workers on the construction site. Nevertheless, elementary parts of the system developed for learning in the work process can be transferred to other sectors of the manufacturing industry.
