In order to provide a compact overview of the many educational opportunities offered by Science City Darmstadt, a Digital Education Pathfinder is being provided for all interested citizens. This easy-to-use platform (www.bildungswegweiser.darmstadt.de) provides an overview of the complex and multilayered landscape of Darmstadt’s adult education offerings in Darmstadt, which makes information on locations and measures clearly structured and intuitively usable. The platform comprises locations, educational providers and educational measures in the field of adult education and represents an objective source of information across educational institutions. The aim of Darmstadt’s Digital Education Pathfinder is to cross link the individual educational needs of Darmstadt’s citizens with existing offerings in order to provide citizens with a service that is simple, quickly accessible and free of charge. Qualification and education needs are determined individually using filter questions and suitable education offers are then displayed in detail. The conceptual development took place at the Volkshochschule of Science City Darmstadt.
