Target Project:
The global competition for highly skilled people has led to increasing acceptance by organizations, as a key business strategy, of the need to retain and re-train their existing staff through some kind of tailored competence development that reduces the lead-time for a learner to achieve target productivity: the environment that supports rapid competence development of individuals, namely knowledge workers within the domains of living labs (innovation) and project management.
The TARGET environment is conceived as a complex learning process supported by the TARGET platform, which consists of a set of innovative and advanced tools and services. Here, the learner is presented with complex situations in the form of game scenarios: interacting with the game results into enriched experiences that are gradually leading to knowledge acquisition.
With the aforementioned focus, the TARGET Project explores and integrates five relevant research fields:
