Framework for the conversion of RDI project outputs into educational material

Abstract

To equip students with current tools and skills, educators must offer training that is relevant to the business world and keeps pace with technological development. Information and Communication Technology (ICT) skills are often practiced during various research, development, and innovation (RDI) projects. It is important to transfer this knowledge to the higher education context, but this is typically not the primary goal of these projects. This study introduces a new process to help create educational materials from RDI projects. Guidelines were developed for both existing and new materials, and tools and practices were tested to develop future materials. This framework improves the quality of education by transferring the most current knowledge generated by RDI projects to the educational context.
