E-LIFE Evaluation Report e-LIFE e-LEARNING VIRTUAL CENTER FOR PEOPLE WITH PHYSICAL DISABILITIES 2011-1-RO1-LEO05-15322 e-LIFE Evaluation Report e-LIFE E-LEARNING VIRTUAL CENTER FOR PEOPLE WITH PHYSICAL DISABILITIES 2011-1-RO1-LEO05-15322 This project has been funded with support from the European Commission.

LdV Project “e-LIFE” – e-LIFE INTRODUCTION The work not only individual’s having an income but also their social relations, personal satisfaction, happiness and familial relationships etc. Employment has a considerable role in solving the problems of disabled people. What needs to be accepted here is the fact that disabled people needs to be employed more than able bodied people. However, it goes without saying that one of the most disadvantageous fractions of the society in terms of employment is disabled people. Disabled people encounter many challenges in working life. They are more or less a part of employment market depending on the development level of the countries in EU. Attitudes of disabled people as well as their employment are of much importance. However, disabled citizens are maybe the group which feels the discrimination in working life most. Companies prepare job analyses and definitions without considering disabled workers which particularly impacts working methods of disabled people who are newly employed. Also, working place buildings are constructed ignoring some certain physical needs of disabled people which do not allow them to work comfortably. They receive less money due mainly to their being disabled though they do the same work as others. Besides, they are also less likely to be promoted which is another reason alienating disabled people from "A Leonardo da Vinci Project" e-LIFE – e-LearningVirtual Center for People with Physical Disabilities 2011-1-RO1-LEO05-15322 2/53 LdV Project “e-LIFE” – e-LIFE working life. This is a clear proof of why disabled people want to work at home. In conclusion, individuals with disabilities are faced with the problems of employment. This means that human resources are going waste in terms of national economies. This project aims to providing a job to people with disabilities with which they can exhibit their knowledge and skills at the highest level through start and builds a successful virtual assistant business and offer guidance to build a thriving practice. Virtual assistance is one of the growing businesses in today‘s computer-driven world and a ideal solution particularly who need work at home jobs due to a disability. Virtual assistance allows them to career, good paying options, and build new skills as a business owner. The project also adopted the principle that each individual in the society must be able to benefit from the right to work in terms of macro employment policy. Employment is the way to prevent disabled people from the feeling that they do not depend on others and they are the burdens of society and to make them see that they are actually a part of society. Thus, they will feel the happiness of being useful. Based on these facts we are opening the doors of e-Training Program for people who are disabled and looking to create a virtual assistant business. Training materials are all on website, in a member’s only resource area and "A Leonardo da Vinci Project" e-LIFE – e-LearningVirtual Center for People with Physical Disabilities 2011-1-RO1-LEO05-15322 3/53 LdV Project “e-LIFE” – e-LIFE the program contains six modules.

"A Leonardo da Vinci Project" e-LIFE – e-LearningVirtual Center for People with Physical Disabilities 2011-1-RO1-LEO05-15322 4/53 LdV Project “e-LIFE” – e-LIFE METHODOLOGY We are focused on the outcome, so we have used the summative evaluation. The instrument used is questionnaire. For each Module partners developed a questionnaire with multiple answers. Each questionnaire has between 15 – 25 questions. The time for completing a questionnaire was 30 minutes. Partners developed two more questionnaires. One was addressed to virtual assistant and another one to employers/trainers/companies. For these questionnaires we used a Likert scale. The Virtual Assistants and companies should tick one of the followings: Strongly Agree, Agree, Neither Agree or Disagree, Disagree, Strongly Disagree. All these questionnaires are attached in Annex.

  • Art and Science: Seen As Dichotomous Practiced As Dependent Hannah Green
    Art and Science: Seen as Dichotomous Practiced as Dependent Hannah Green Department of Art & Art History Honors Thesis University of Colorado at Boulder April 7, 2014 Thesis Advisor Melanie Walker | Art & Art History Committee Members Shu-Ling Chen Berggreen | Journalism & Mass Communication Françoise Duressé | Art & Art History 1 Abstract: Art and science have an undeniable connection. Many artists and scientists work with or in both fields, however, public discourse and educational structure has created the notion that the subjects are completely disparate. Art and science are divided in classes, majors, and degrees. Furthermore, science is typically required from elementary to collegiate levels of academia, whereas art is optional. Both fields, however, work through creativity by analyzing and critiquing the world. In my thesis work, Death Becomes Us, I have collected flora and fauna, which I later scanned on high-resolution scanners. The resulting large-scale prints (24” wide) reveal complexities of the specimens that evade 20/20 eyesight. The bees and flowers are all dead thus indicating the major colony collapse of pollinators that play a fundamental role in the world from ecology to economy. My work treads the line between the subjects of art and science and aims to bridge the divide that the public sees in the subjects by appealing to both fields, conceptually and aesthetically. By looking at artists and scientists it is clear that the separation that has occurred comes from a change that needs to take place from the bottom up. In other words, art and science need to be integrated in order to eliminate the hierarchy that has become mainstream thought.

  • The Art of the Brain
    ON TOPIC Letter from the Editor THE ART OF THE BRAIN: “Brainbow” and the Difficulty Hello Readers! of Distinguishing Science and Art I wanted to start out this edition of my bimonthly letter by thanking you all, wholeheartedly, for your readership. I like to think of SciArt in America as being in its infancy; while the pith of SAiA resides in the fascinating artists and projects we feature, I see amazing possibilities in how SAiA can grow into the larger role of serving as a major platform for all things SciArt. It is thanks to your support, and the fantastic additions to the SAiA staff, that we were able to help SAiA grow up a little this issue, and we’re thrilled to now be reaching readers across the globe. Since launching our first issue, it has become increasingly evident to me that while the greater art world is characteristically less group/movement and more individual/movement-based, the SciArt part of the art world is brimming with enthusiastic, dedicated, and inspirational artists to whom an artistic community is still a central concern. Whether it is because SciArt is riding the implicit communal energy of a recently founded art movement, because the particular artist concerns in SciArt make community more ap- pealing, or because we’re all a bunch of science nerds at heart and just like talking about science with other nerds, the degrees of separation between everyone in the SciArt world are very few, and wonderfully so. While SciArt varies across medium and subject, the drive to share the wonderous phenomena of our existence is what binds us.
