In this age of rapid and continual change in life and work, continuing education is more important than ever. Individuals are often faced with the challenge of finding the continuing education course that suits their needs. InfoWebWeiterbildung (IWWB) is a web-based meta search engine that has for many years supported individuals in finding suitable courses. IWWB-PLUS implements new web and information technology to concentrate on an improvement and functional expansion of the existing platform.
The following main objectives are pursued:
- Chatbots: Implementation of dialogue technologies to support users in finding appropriate continuing education offers
- Light Assessments: Development and integration of appropriate procedures to assess the current state of knowledge in people with an interest in continuing education, to find matching continuing education offers.
- Interoperability with external information providers (Europass): linkage to the EUROPASS system to personalise users’ lists of search results
IWWB-PLUS furthermore aims at re-engineering the UX design to clearly improve user experiences by an optimal human-machine interface design.
