Projekthintergrund
Das TourXperience-Projekt zielt darauf ab, die berufliche Bildung im Tourismussektor durch den Einsatz von Extended-Reality-Technologien (XR), einschließlich Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR) und Mixed Reality (MR), zu modernisieren. Diese Technologien haben insbesondere nach der Pandemie erhebliche pädagogische Vorteile gezeigt, da sie die Integration digitaler Inhalte in reale Umgebungen ermöglichen und so die Qualität der Lernerfahrungen verbessern.
Der Tourismussektor weist häufig einen Mangel an formalen Ausbildungsanforderungen auf, was einen Bedarf an strukturierten und kontinuierlichen Bildungsangeboten mit sich bringt. Die schnelle Entwicklung der Branche erfordert eine fortlaufende Anpassung der Ausbildungsansätze, um mit neuen Technologien und Trends Schritt zu halten. Zudem besteht ein dringender Bedarf, nachhaltige Praktiken einzuführen, um ökologische, wirtschaftliche und soziale Interessen in Einklang zu bringen.
Durch die Integration von XR-Technologien möchte das Projekt die Lehrpläne der beruflichen Bildung aktualisieren, grundlegende Schulungsressourcen bereitstellen und Lernende mit den Fähigkeiten, digitalen Kompetenzen und dem Umweltbewusstsein ausstatten, die für eine Führungsrolle im nachhaltigen Tourismus erforderlich sind. Durch die Förderung der Zusammenarbeit zwischen Bildungseinrichtungen, Branchenvertretern und politischen Entscheidungsträgern zielt das Projekt darauf ab, die Wettbewerbsfähigkeit des Tourismussektors zu stärken und gleichzeitig seine Umweltauswirkungen zu verringern.
