RESINT project. Activities on WP3 and WP4 Prof PhD DrSc Arturas Kaklauskas

Duration: Month 6 to Month 24 Description of the work package WP3. Development of the innovative virtual interuniversity network for resilience management educational cooperation Duration: Month 6 to Month 24 Description of the work package WP3 aims at developing a collaborative network for the teaching of resilience management among HEIs and not academic institutions. The core of this network is an open source platform for the delivery of materials proposed within the WP2 concerning the teaching and the methodology to organize innovative courses and to use new teaching tools (practice management and intelligent systems). In addition this network will enable and promote lifelong learning at large within the society by making study materials accessible outside traditional classroom environment to various parties within the society from students, teachers to practitioners and policy makers. The network will ensure not only the feed-forward (information/knowledge from centre to the beneficiaries) but also feedback (from beneficiaries to the centre). It is expected that a spiral effect will be created to continuous improvement of the knowledge and material. 16/04/2014

WP3. Development of the innovative virtual interuniversity network for resilience management educational cooperation The consortium partners will organize the use of practice management with a concrete involvement of not academic organizations in the teaching and learning. To this purpose the experience of P1 and P2 in institutional and organization building through virtual reality and Simulimpresa offer to the project a concrete and tested tool. Three major components have been identified as the main elements of the network: Development of the intelligent computer learning systems for resilience management (ICLS-RM). Integration of concept of ICLS-RM with illustrative content of augmented reality. Development of the virtual teaching environment. The development of this network will develop international relations, enhance quality assurance, manage teaching and student services and triangulate knowledge creation and dissemination with education, innovation and research. During the project training courses for academic and not academic and administrative staff will be implemented. 60 teachers, 45 managers and 30 administrative staff will be trained during the pilot project for half a year in stages/internships and distance learning. Content of ICLS-RM will be developed based on the five priorities of the Hyogo framework for Action and a ten-point checklist (local governments commit to implement disaster risk reduction activities along these Ten Essentials) for making cities resilient. 16/04/2014

Open Source in intelligent systems and Augmented Reality Duration: Month 8 to Month 24 Description of the Work Package: WP4 will start with analysis of users needs and selection of the most rational open source solution in augmented reality for resilience management in order to stimulate its further development. It will be developed an Open Educational Resources (OER) platform to host digitized materials offered freely and openly for educators, students and self learners to use and reuse for teaching, learning and research. The WP4 Working Group will be responsible for drafting standards on platforms, accessibility and inclusion, rights management, and approaches to describing, managing, and sharing learning resources, online. The platform will be built using a free and open-source e-learning software platform. The digital materials may include courses, course materials, content modules, learning objects including audio/visual, collections, and journals. They may also include materials on best practices such as case studies, techniques, and methods. The purpose of this WP is to identify what type of content is possible to be loaded. This will be an illustrative content. It won’t aim at global educational benefits, but at demonstrating the possibilities and functionality of augmented reality for resilience management, which the educational institutions/organizations will use to create their own individualized learning content, relating to their unique curriculums and teaching approaches. 16/04/2014

WP4. Open Source in intelligent systems and Augmented Reality The illustrative content will be created to be applicable in the different areas of resilience management. Based on the five priorities of the Hyogo framework for Action and a ten-point checklist (local governments commit to implement disaster risk reduction activities along these Ten Essentials) for making cities resilient open source augmented reality layers will be developed as examples for: up-to-date data on hazards and vulnerabilities; critical infrastructure that reduces risk, such as flood drainage, adjusted where needed to cope with climate change; information about schools and health facilities; risk compliant building regulations and land use planning principles; safe land for low-income citizens; ecosystems and natural buffers to mitigate floods, storm surges and other hazards to which cities may be vulnerable; needs of the survivors are placed at the centre of reconstruction with support for them and their community organizations to design and help implement responses, etc. Integration of ICLS-RM with illustrative content of augmented reality will be done.
