IRRIGATIONS: INNOVATIVE, VIRTUAL, AUGMENTED REALITY & EDUTAINMENT BASED, VET HANDBOOK AND eLEARNING FOR THE TRAINING IN ADVANCED IRRIGATIONS

The paper presents part of the results of the EU Commission, Leonardo da Vinci Project: LDV/ToI/2013/RO/030. The project achieved by entities from authors of the Handbook: Romania: IPA SA project proposer, writer and coordinator, Spain: University of Cordoba, Italy: 2 Partners, University of Naples and CREA/Council for Research in Agriculture and in the Agricultural Economy), USAMV Bucharest, and entities which have presented the lessons with the view of the lessons assessment: USAMV Bucharest, CCIAGR/Chamber of Industry, Agriculture and Commerce, Giurgiu), Agricultural Collegiums Sandu Aldea Calarasi, Agricultural Collegiums Viaceslav Harnaj, Bucharest, Faculty of Agronomy and Horticulture of University of Craiova, is destined for the training of farmers, technicians, people interested in the creation and development of the own irrigations.

The handbook, of 38 lessons, was converted, by IPA SA in the advanced eLearning format in HTML5. Also are elaborated 2 Occupational Standards (drafts) in irrigations. The project has developed advanced eLearning support for the quick and efficient knowledge and skills transfer, based on over 100 Virtual Reality, 3D, Dynamic Images. These Dynamic Images h create efficient animations, Augmented Reality products, developed by IPA SA, as SAReL system: Special Augmented Reality for eLearning and other AR tools. Special development, such as celebrities from dedicated novel (lampoons), contributes at the Edutainment support. The lessons have been successfully tested on the sample of over 500 interested people. The action and developed materials add contributions at the re-launching of irrigations in Romania.
