Virtual mobility experience addresses the need of enhancing transparency and providing accessible opportunities for achievement of Virtual Mobility Skills by supporting VET Trainers and students in acquiring and developing key competences needed to successfully design, implement and participate in Virtual Mobility.
Virtual mobility experience can be carried out through the use of a series of online courses (OERs and MOOCs) made available through a Moodle platform dedicated to the students involved. In case of VET course a simulation experience through Virtual Reality can be developed as part of VM experience. VR places learners in an immersive environment that allows them to interact with the environment in a safe way. This technology is very useful in training as it provides a safe environment without the need for large infrastructures. The biggest advantage of using Virtual Reality for training is that it only requires Virtual Reality equipment and a computer. The simulators for training are characterised by realistic 3D graphics so that the user finds similarities between the Virtual Reality and the real machinery, thus facilitating adaptation to the use of the real machine. By recording the user’s movements, the examiner or trainer has greater control of the student’s attention and behaviour, response times, types of response to normal or risky situations. This type of application allows to train workers in what will be their workplace, even before the lines are available from the design drawings and modes of operation. -
The European Commission defines virtual mobility as “a set of activities supported by Information and Communication Technologies, including e-learning, that realise or facilitate international, collaborative experiences in a context of teaching, training or learning”.(Erasmus+ Programme Guide, European Commission, 2019)[1].
