Introduction
How to make a Chicken-Bacon Sandwich
GAIA Museum Outsider Art, established in 2002, is a museum for outsider art. As a cultural organisation GAIA Museum’s primary objective is to provide cultural experiences, knowledge and education for the general public. The museum has 3 to 4 special exhibitions a year and a permanent collection that show the broadness of art by national and international artists with learning disabilities and mental health problems. GAIA is also secretariat of the European Outsider Art Association.
The house is open to the public and have eight different work teams: GAIA Design, GAIAbyte, Creative workshop, Framing workshop, Museum shop, GAIA Academy, GAIA VIA and Café GAIA Papaya.
At GAIA VIA and Café GAIA Papaya we make food to our costomers. One of the items on the menus are sandwiches.This app will support the working process of making a chicken bacon sandwich.
Being able to do things on your own is self-empowering and the key to sheltered employment. To give someone the tools to build skills and confidence is what most trainers really love about their jobs.
This eLearning is meant to compliment the training app How to make a Chicken Bacon Sandwich app. It will help you to create personalised and specific training apps for the people you are working with. The material will show you how to build a training app for helping someone with special needs to make a sandwich. You start with an app that already has a few ready-made frames, and adapt it to your special needs. To build an app is easy – and fun! There are no limits to what great recipes you can put in the app.
The app generator allows you as a trainer to create a personalised app to give the best possible support when training someone preparing for sheltered employment at a café or kitchen.

Learning Objectives
- To make a sandwich
- Basic hygiene
- Basic motoric skilles
- Basic logic
- Ability to follow the step-by-step guide
Conclusion
Learning Outcomes:
The Learning Outcome of this eLearning module is to enable the TRAINER to use the existing Sandwich creation App or make their own APPs with the following Outcomes for people with learning difficulties:
· Understand an follow a step by step instruction presented by their APP in order to make a sandwich
· To understand Basic Mathematical competence regarding weights and measures
· To be able to follow an ingredients list for a sandwich so that it tastes good
Knowledge Acquired
The TRAINER will learn how to use the App generator in order to create APPS containing the following knowledge for people with learning difficulties. The Apps will contain the body of facts, principles, theories and practices related to a field of sandwich making and food preparation:
· To grasp why strict hygiene is necessary at all times when handling food
· To understand basic safety prescriptions when handling kitchen utensils and equipment.
Skills Acquired
The TRAINER will learn how to use the App generator in order to create APPS to develop the following work related skills for people with learning difficulties. Skills in this instance means the ability to apply knowledge and use know-how to complete tasks and solve problems. They are described as cognitive (logical, intuitive and creative thinking) or practical (involving manual dexterity and the use of methods, materials, tools and instruments:
· Basic motoric skills of sandwich making using correct weights and measures of food
· To be able to use basic kitchen tools, utensils and equipment for food preparation
Competences Acquired
The TRAINER will learn how to use the App generator in order to create APPS to develop the following work related competences for people with learning difficulties. It is described in terms of responsibility and autonomy.
· Ability to independently follow the step-by-step guide in order to prepare food for others
Conclusion (How did they do?)
The app is a very logic and visual tool, that is designed to support people in sheltered employment working at GAIAs cafées. The app helps with to get the right ingredients and the right order in making the sandwich. It is a very helpful tool for those who need help to structure a process and to those who have challenges with remembering.
This app gives competence and self-empowerment and helps getting people with special needs closer to the job marked.
EQF Key Competences:
1. Learning to learn: The ability of individuals to organise their own learning through being aware of their own learning processes or needs. It means gaining, processing and assimilating new knowledge and skills as well as seeking and making use of guidance.
2. Mathematical competence and basic competences in science and technology: Mathematical competence refers to the ability to develop and apply mathematical thinking in order to solve a range of problems in everyday situations and includes a mastery of numeracy, as well as a willingness to use mathematical modes of thought and presentation. Scientific competence refers to the ability to use the body of knowledge and methodology employed to explain the natural world in order to identify and question and draw evidence-based conclusions. Competence in technology involves the application of that knowledge and methodology in response to perceived human needs or wants.
