This project was develop with a focus on non-formal learning. The non-formal education is the learning which takes place through planned activities, in terms of learning objectives and learning time. Where some form of learning support is present, but which is not part of the formal education and training system. The activities and courses are planned, but are seldomly structured by conventional rhythms or curriculum subjects. They usually address specific target groups, but rarely document or assess learning outcomes or achievements in conventionally visible ways.
An Educational Pill (or Knowledge Pill) is a short, concise piece of content provided to the user in a quick and efficient manner. A major advantage of this educational format is the ability to convey information in graphic, presentation, recording or video format to learn a lot within a couple of minutes. The Educational Pills are also a perfect means for reviewing all the most important information long after the training is complete or, at the same time, to simply recover the most important rules without seeing them illustrated in great detail.
