About ECO BUILDING online learning platform

ACTeco is a project but also a European cooperation of Associations and Organisations,
dealing with Earth Building, Straw Bale Building and Training for Change (responsible for the content of the courses and Vocational Training)
with partners from Schools and the Educational System (to integrate lessons also in Schools).
All partners will try to spread the ideas and techniques of ECO-BUILDING to a larger audience, wheather this are pupils or grandparents, craftsmen or self-builders, trainers or trainees.

Courses, Registering and Login

www.acteco.eu offers OPEN courses, which you can do without registering. Just to test a course or to experience if the topic is interesting for you.

Instead of a grading you will find several quizzes where you can get points, when you get the answers right. But as soon as you leave the platform, all your results are gone.

You can also find FREE courses for which you have to register (for free) via the MyAccount button (1). Just give yourself a name and a password. In My Account you will find all the available (open and free) courses, how many you have already completed, how many certificates you have and how many points you have earned (2). If you enter a course, you see the structure (Lessons, Topics, Quizzes) on the left sidebar and the content, you are working in, on the right side (3). You will get some tasks (assignments) to do in the courses, which will be approved and graded). The advantage is, that once you are registered, all your results are stored on the Learndash-Platform.

Finally, there are long ADVANCED courses, offered by ActEco-partners like asbn, ArTUR or AsTERRE with trainer evaluation. For these courses you have to register by Email directly with these organisations. You will get a Username and Password to login.

Herbert Gruber, chairman of ASBN – austrian strawbale network is trainer for Straw Bale Building, offers the complete STEP-program (8 Units) in English and German and is – as graphic designer – responsible for this website and establishing the courses in Learndash – our LMS (Learning Management System).
