Mobile Online Courses for the Illiterate: The eVideo Approach.

More than half of Germany’s functional illiterates are gainfully employed adults. This paper presents the eVideo approach that aims at people with poor basic education. The course “eVideo mobile - digital media in hospitality industry” is a game-based work-related eLearning course. It is based on an inclusive eLearning platform. Basic educational skills are addressed in workplace-related interactive videos and exercises on different competency levels. In a small pilot study users were observed while using the course and afterwards questioned in interviews.
