level of digitalization and digital pedagogy as well as concrete experiences and un-
met needs in terms of digital education in each partner country. Thus, the Guide-
book has served as a general baseline and reference for the development work
that subsequently was conducted in the project.

 As the second step: the Curriculum of Non-Formal Methodologies for Online
Leaning. As a direct follow-up to the findings in the initial research, this activity
aimed to collect and describe examples of digital teaching and learning concepts
and tools that could serve as best practices and be directly applicable in education-
al settings for adult education professionals.

 As the third step: the Course Piloting for Adult Education Professionals. This activi-
ty aimed to train a number of teachers from all partner countries in using the digi-
tal tools included in the project Curriculum. As part of the practical training, the
participating teachers furthermore developed and described their own teaching
courses, using these tools and providing examples of pedagogical exercises for
learners.

 As the fourth step: the Interactive Learning Space and Video Forum. Finally, this
activity presents and thoroughly illustrates all the methods and tools that have
been developed and described in the AiDKiT project. On the final platform, teach-
ers and other stakeholders thus get the opportunity to become familiar with and
benefit from the AiDKiT tools in digital teaching situations.

In summary, from this approach, the AidKiT project aimed at contributing both
knowledge and practical methodologies in line with the general efforts to increase the
prevalence of digital pedagogy and online based learning in adult education through-
out Europe. The project was implemented in a partnership between organizations in 5
European countries: Germany, being the Transeuropean coordinator, as well as Ro-
mania, Poland, Lithuania and Denmark.

1.2 THE GUIDEBOOK OF BEST PRACTICES

The present guidebook was based on desk research and interviews in each of the 5
partner countries, focusing on:

 A national desk research of the state-of-the-art situation in terms of digitalization
as well as prevalence of digital methodologies and programmes in adult education
in general and, in particular, in adult education targeting various groups of vulner-
able adult learners.
