TOURISTIC – Project Update

The project touristic! aims to find new and innovative answers to all challenges by upskilling disabled people in Digital Skills applied to the design of innovative commercial services and products in Online Accessible Tourism, creating new skills pathways and labour opportunities for disabled people in Europe, supporting ICT-based teaching and assessment practices and promoting the transparency, validation and recognition of skills and competences acquired through OER.

Piloting Requirements

It is proposed that the piloting process at this stage would simply involve and support participants in completing 4 simple steps:

1. Participants access the virtual campus platform at https://virtualcampus.touristic-upskilling.eu/ and the online web app at https://touristicwebapp.eu/ and create accounts in each

2. Undertake the training in the virtual campus across the courses available. Deepen and/ or assess your understanding of the practice and real-life implementation of this using the the online web app.

3. Apply your understanding of these areas with your students involved in teaching tourism, accessible tourism, etc.

4. Participate in a focus group and/ or interview to provide feedback on the experience.
