DIGI-PAINT: A digital vision for Painting Decorating Educators

The lockdown period during the pandemic highlighted the weakness of the vocational training system in the painting trade. A key challenge was the lack of digital skills among teachers and students. Most educators demonstrated significant deficiencies in creating digital learning materials for students and knowledge of the most common digital tools for online learning to engage students. This was probably also due to the lack of appropriate digital content and the low level of collaboration and interaction with students in the online environment. The desires of tutors and trainers to create good digital tailored solutions in apprenticeship programs to support the digitalization of training to engage and engage learners in the virtual environment to meet current and future challenges.

To build a structured program aimed at educators in the painting and decorating sector to support them in adapting to digital. To design a resource database with painter technical content to overcome the lack of face-to-face situations. To support the work-based learning phases, several real-life situations and practical cases have been developed in the event that they will take place virtually. DIGI-PAINT would like to get educators excited about the topic of digitalization, namely virtual reality, in order to overcome its disruptive effects on the world of training and further education in the painting and decoration sector.
