MIRROR is a project co-financed by the European Commission as part of technology-enhanced learning research.

The objective of the project is empowering employees to reflect on past work performances and personal learning experiences in order to learn in “real-time” and to creatively solve problems. MIRROR shall help employees to increase their level and breadth of experience significantly within short time. The project builds on the human ability to efficiently and effectively learn directly from tacit knowledge – without the need for making it explicit.

Specifically MIRROR will provide the following output:

• A conceptual model of holistic continuous learning by reflection which incorporates the essential ingredients of training critical thinking, awareness of emotions, (collaborative) knowledge construction, creative problem solving and innovation.
• The so-called “AppSphere” a bundle of real-time, interoperable learning applications that can be used within the collaborative and social work environment of the employees.
• A validation of learning effectiveness through evaluation within five testbeds.

MIRROR will be a learning approach that can be used in highly dynamic working situations where no teachers, no formal content, and no explicit knowledge are available. IMC manages the MIRROR project and integrates 15 different partners (researchers, technical experts and testbeds) from all over Europe.

IMC provides to MIRROR high technological expertise, knowledge of technical system integration and experience in learning design.  By having knowledge of the industry and linkage to the supply side, IMC creates a solid base for the sustainable exploitation of MIRROR.
