FROM IDEA TO PROJECT
ACCORD has the aim to support teachers in handling conflict and dealing with cultural diversity by creating, assessing and upscaling an integrated online pedagogical practice that combines conceptual material through MOOC delivery and Serious Games for practical, experiential and hands-on learning. This represents one of the specific objective of the call and also help to foster mutual understanding and respect in classrooms and schools. It will directly contribute to fostering the inclusion of disadvantaged learners, including persons with a migrant background.
THE PRODUCT DEVELOPED BY SMARTED
The game aims at assessing and training negotiation skills through simulated interactions between the user and a virtual agent, controlled by an Artificial Intelligence system. It is free and easy to use and can be played on PC (mobile devices are not supported at the moment) with some of the most common web browsers such as Chrome, Edge, Safari, Firefox and Internet Explorer.
