Abstract


Within the eLCAr project new knowledge in the field of LCM is created: Guidelines based on the ILCD Handbook, tailored to the needs of LCA practitioners in the field of electric vehicles. Additionally, a set of training materials was produced and applied within this project. The materials consider individual learning preferences. In consequence, a cross-media training concept based on a blended approach of different media types has been developed: Self-learning script, seminar training and e-learning media. All media follows the same modular outline, thus allowing switching between and combining the different training media. This flexible set-up allows an optimised knowledge transfer and thereby enriches the outcome of the newly created eLCAr guidelines.
