Paper Abstract:
|
The training and learning of social skills in organizational settings has become more and more important for an effective
communicative exchange between members of staff. Especially in companies where the line of communication has to be
fast and unmistakable, e.g. in crisis management units, the regular training of communication skills is therefore
indispensable. The DREAD-ED project proposes an innovative, technology-based teaching methodology to meet these
needs. The methodology provides a cost-effective e-learning training platform which enables its users to train soft skills
under safe conditions. Results of the first evaluation trials are presented at the conference. |
