On the 6th and 7th of June, 2018 the M-Easy partner have met in Nicosia, Cyprus to coordinate and plan the next steps of the project. During the meeting, partners have reviewed the contents for the mobile application and have worked on the e-Directory in national languages in order to include them in the training course, in partner languages.

The online assessment tool is also under preparation. The purpose of the online-self-assessment tool is to facilitate learners get an idea of their mathematical knowledge related to the 27 set skills defined by the consortium. This, in turn, can guide the learning course and provide a good description of the improvement of mathematical skills after the learning course.

Our appreciation for perfect organization of the meeting for the meeting hosting partners - CARDET!

The next partner meeting will take place in Vienna, Austria on the 6th and 7th of December, 2018.

On the 6th and 7th of December, 2018 the M-Easy partners held a winterly partner meeting in Vienna, Austria to coordinate and plan the next steps within the M-Easy project. The focus of the meeting was on reviewing the status of the problem-oriented mobile apps for mathematical skills development and finalizing the assessment tool for pre- and post-assessment of maths skills for learners. We also planned the next steps for the impact evaluation of the project and discussed how adult educators and local communities could best be integrated into the project.

The purpose of the 4th partnership meeting was: to finalise the piloting, define project impact, sustainability, preparation for the Final report, evaluate the Project‘s outcomes, activities and management, discuss partnership participation in the final European Conference of the Project ‘M-Easy‘, plan the follow-up activities at European, national and local levels.

The Partners were active an engaged during our last meeting because they wanted to share the latest experience from ‘M-Easy’ training national piloting, discuss many important issues and one of the most important questions – sustainability of the project’s outcomes.

The ‘M-Easy’ team will be happy to see mobile app created by us in action and used by the learners and educators, teachers. Thus, we did our homework and prepared for the main multiplying event of the Project – Final European Conference, which was held on the next day after the partnership meeting and was a successful step in the dissemination and sustainability of the ‘M-Easy’ Project’s outcomes: training course “‘M-Easy’: Mathematics is Easy”, Toolkit for adult educators: “Developing competences needed for effective running of 'M-Easy' training course” and e-Guide for Community Workshops for better integration of the low-skilled adults, migrants, refugees and asylum seekers.

We invite everybody interested to visit our website https://measy.lpf.lt/ or contact the partners on contacts provided in the website! The website, mobile app ‘M-Easy’ and all training programs are created as Open Educational Resources and can be accessed by the learners and used free of charge. They will be maintained and after the Project’s end.

The training activity of the M-EASY project was held in Palermo from 27-31 of May with a huge success.

During this five-days training, partners had the opportunity to discuss various issues on how to improve the online platform in the most effective way.

The presentation of e-Directory of existing mobile apps is a crucial part of the learning process as well as of the training-because as explained it provides the learner with the opportunity of initial self-training in order to improve their mathematical skills by using an innovative Mobile Apps approach.

One of the most important focuses of the training was to test all the 22 problem-oriented mathematical apps, the so-called scenarios, as well as to contribute to their development in order to ensure a positive impact for the specific target groups of the project. Participants from all partner countries worked in groups in order to test the functionality of the Mobile Apps in both content and technique level. Through this activity, participants had the opportunity to discuss individually as well as in groups any necessary improvements they wish to see in the Mobile Apps.

In addition to the above, it was also introduced the ‘’Learner’s Support Corner’’, where the future learner can have the opportunity to discuss along with adult educators.

The last two days of the training were devoted on the presentation of the ‘Toolkit for adult educators’, focusing on developing competences needed for effective running of the M-Easy training course. This two-day presentation had five different thematic axes:

1. Open and Innovative digital era Mobile Apps methodology for better outreach of the low-skilled learners.
2. Methodology and Lessons plan
3. Guide on how to work with problem-solving Mobile Apps on developing mathematical skills.
4. Assessment and monitoring tools to facilitate validation process of the obtained within ‘M-Easy training course skills and competences.
5. Effective learner-oriented educational approaches for low-skilled adults, including refugees, asylum seekers, migrants.

Finally yet importantly, in the final session of the training, partners shared success stories of integration of low-skilled adults through education, hoping they can be a benefit to lead to great project’s results.
