The project AquaTED
AquaTED provides online
content about aqua culture that can be used by educators in distant
learning training workshops/courses — this is not new. But the
technology we now have is e-learning and e-learning design is a
whole new industry and there is no lack of tips, models, frameworks
on how to design online courses - we will not walk that path again.
Instead we will create stories using video, sound, image and
writing.
AquaTED was funded by EURASTiP.
The funding body EURASTíP
The European Asian aquaculture Technology and innovation Platform (EURASTiP) was a three year research, development and innovation project, funded through the EU Horizon 2020 programme, and developed in response to the EU call “reinforcing international cooperation on sustainable aquaculture production with countries from South East Asia” (see also H2020 & SFS-24-2016). EURASTiP has provided a structured basis for multi-stakeholder dialogue in the aquaculture community, within South East Asia and between South East Asia and the EU. In order to achieve this, EURASTiP has build on the experience of the European Aquaculture Technology and innovation Platform (EATiP), the ASEM aquaculture platform and the individual EURASTiP-consortium partners.
How to use AquaTED? An education journey into aquatic culture...
We provide different stories to tell something about a fish, its biology,
ecology, production, or how people buy, prepare and eat
seafood. In the end, we give some tips on how you can dig deeper,
keep on asking questions and find your own answers to biology,
ecology, physiology, trade, marketing … because in a food system,
everything is connected.
You can start anywhere you want, you can use as many stories as you wish, it is up to you to design your course/learning journey as you feel is most useful for you.
Let´s start from here...
