Even teachers who were not very familiar with new technology are now able to develop efficient video lessons and adapt didactic activities to emergency situations. European Project CAnVASS+ has developed a new video editing tool that helps teachers and educators - even those with less digital competence – to develop multimedia educational content for custom-tailored distance learning. The European partnership is headed by the ERIFO Research and Education Agency. Italyn partners include the Fondazione Mondo Digitale and the Istituto d'Istruzione Superiore Via Sarandì in Rome.

 

During the Covid-19 health emergency, nearly all European member states had to substitute frontal with distance learning activities. Project CAnVASS+ (Content Audio Video mAnagement SyStem Plus), a strategic Erasmus+ partnership in the school education sector financed by Italian Agency Indire has developed a video editor for teachers that will contribute to continuity and allow teachers to custom-tailor activities to their students, especially those in the most fragile categories. The free software includes avatars and interactive scenarios that can be integrated with audio, text, images and focus boxes. It just takes five steps for teachers to develop e-learning lessons.

 

At canvass.media you can find various models and even create new ones. Didactic content that is custom-tailored to the needs of a class and individual students is transformed into a video file that can be shared on YouTube, Facebook and Twitter. The main advantage of the platform and its intuitive interface is to allow even teachers with not much knowledge of digital tools to maintain the quality of their lessons high and participate in the rapid transformation that is taking place due to the health emergency. On demand interactive content promotes the participation and involvement of all students, respecting individual needs and ways of learning.

 

Besides the video editing tool, Project CAnVASS+ also provides good transnational practices to reinforce the distance educational content that can be enjoyed by students and teachers and an on-line course on how to use digital tools to make classes more inclusive. All the content and tools – that are available at www.canvass.eu – have been developed by a four-country partnership: Italy, Greece, Spain and Romania.

 

Over 2500 teachers in Europe have been selected to participate in an experimental course with the didactic material and tools developed by the partnership. Some of these will become project ambassadors and share their experiences with other schools to contribute to the diffusion of innovative didactic methodologies.

 

Project CAnVASS+ “Content Audio Video mAnagement SyStem Plus” is implemented as part of the Erasmus+ Strategic Partnerships for School Education Programme with the following partners: Erifo, Italy; Istituto d'Istruzione Superiore Via Sarandì, Italy; Fondazione Mondo Digitale, Italy; Confederacion Espanola de Centros de Ensenanza Asociacion C.E.C.E., Spain; Proemasa Las Chapas C, Spain; Regional Directorate of Primary and Secondary Education of Crete, Greece; 4th Vocational School of Heraklion, Greece; Best Cybernetics Single Member Private Company, Greece; Liceul Tehnologic de Transporturi, Romania.
