The foundation of the ARISE platform architecture is built upon a set of core principles from the Grant Agreement that drive its design and functionality. Firstly, the platform is mobile web based, ensuring accessibility and convenience for learners on various devices. Secondly, it adopts a platform-based implementation approach, leveraging existing IT solutions, apps, databases and protocols to streamline integration and enhance efficiency.

The ARISE platform incorporates a learning management system (based on Moodle) and an app for smartphones (Build Up Skills Advisor) dedicated to offer learning material and measure the maturity of skills. These elements foster a continuous and personal learning journey to encourage personal skill development, enabling learners to track their progress and growth.

To further empower learners, recognise and verify their achievements, the ARISE platform implements block-chainable Open Badges. This automate the recognition processes for completing bite-size modules, authenticating and verifying credentials. Gamification elements are included to stimulated lifelong learning by providing tangible and motivating rewards for the learners’ dedication and progress.
