IO3: the production of the content of the Cluster4Smart course
IO3: TRAINING MATERIAL
Let's know the Phase 3 of the Cluster4Smart project: the production of the content of the Cluster4Smart course. This is actually the current step of the project, and all project partners are involved in the content development.
Selection of the pedagogical tools
The Cluster4Smart training is being developed as an e-learning training, involving innovative and interactive pedagogical tools. Thanks to E-learning tools, it is possible to learn after work at home in order to acquire a certificate of vocational training.
Using the best pedagogical tool according to the covered topics and to the future trainees was for us essential. That’s why we benchmarked the existing e-learning tools, to select the most appropriate ones.
Here are the e-learning tools which we selected:
- Videos
- Tool sheets and course documents
- Quizzes
- Augmented infographics
The production of the lessons’ content is directed by gnomon and the University of Strasbourg and has been divided up among the consortium.
Production of the training content
Our pedagogical team is composed of professors and professional experts in cluster management from the different consortium’s organisations, including teachers who give classes in the cluster management’s master at the University of Strasbourg. They have been selected according to their expertise as regards the curriculum’s content. A future article series will allow you to get to know better our video speakers.
Now, we entered the production phase which means: scripts redaction, storyboards, makeup, lights, filming, claps, cuts, music, postproduction just like the shooting of a real movie! We are working hard to provide you a high-quality e-learning experience!
Last but not least, our online courses will be available in February 2020.

The Cluster4Smart project held its 3rd meeting in Strasbourg at the beginning of October. The partners reviewed the work done since March, and Clémence Castell from the University of Strasbourg presented the finalised version of the Joint Curriculum. This document is based on the results of the previous study (“Cluster management abilities, capacities, skills and competences towards a smart industry”, the output of Phase 1 in the Cluster4Smart project) and will serve as the basis for all the course development efforts. The basic structure of the Joint Curriculum is divided into 4 parts as can be seen below, and the full document is available from the downloads section of the website.

TheCAP Cluster Manual
2020-02-28 07:59:33
There are over 2,500 innovation clusters in Europe, yet some argue that the future is being invented outside of Europe. Many clusters are inward looking and acting more as an agglomeration of stakeholders than as active business and innovation creators. But how can we accelerate the transition from "clusters-as-usual" to "clusters-of-change"? How can clusters and innovation ecosystems create...
