The comprehensive learning system “I want to learn German”, which supports immigrants in German language acquisition and social integration, has earned a prestigious European award.
“Ich will Deutsch lernen” is a free, publicly available online course offered by the German Adult Education Association (Deutscher Volkshochschul-Verband). The curriculum focuses on social integration, professional development, and German language and communication skills. Online tutors are available around the clock to help new users.
Avallain’s flexible authoring tool and customisable platform enabled the creation of more than 10,000 interactive content units based on real-life scenarios. The course is not just relevant for new immigrants already in Germany but also for refugees or those planning to immigrate. The German Federal Ministry of Education and Research supported the development of the learning system.
The interactive digital learning system was awarded the Comenius EduMedia Seal in June 2015 by the German Society for Pedagogy and Information, which has been recognizing top European educational media for 20 years. A jury of international experts and scholars selects top multimedia projects based on the curriculum, pedagogy, and instructional design.
