Yesterday (24th of September) we met with very interesting group of leaders of study groups for teachers from the field of mechanical engineering. They will be the ambassadors for spreading the word about the project and its results among mechanical engineering schools in Slovenia. We wanted to give them very good and broad information about the project and special about e-course and facilitators handbook.
The response was very positive and we manage to organize another meeting in the middle of October where we will be presenting the e-course to the potential e-course participants.

(e)VET2EDU presented at Online Educa in Berlin
HiST presented (e)VET2EDU at Online Educa 2013 from 4th to 6th December. OEB is the Largest Global E-Learning Conference for the Corporate, Education and Public Service Sectors.
Total number of attendants at the conference/exhibition were more than 2000 from over 100 countries.
E-learning course was presented to LieDM association
Vytautas Magnus University (e)Vet2edu team presented the e-learning course to Lithuanian Association of Distance and E. Learning (LieDM association) , which unites 40 Lithuanian science, study, and education institutions which implement distance teaching and learning. VET members of LieDM association unitedly agreed that they were waiting for such course for a log time. We feel that we already started our recruitment process, even the registration form is still not opened yet.
Clustering projects at EDEN Conference
The projects are not created from vacuum, there is always need and joined idea that makes it possible to develop something together. So eVET2EDU has its predecessor – eVET READY, where with some of the current partners (CPI, CARNET, AGH-UST) we developed a self-evaluation tool for VET institutions to measure their readiness towards e-learning. The synergy between those two initiatives was shown during EDEN Annual Conference held this year in Oslo.
We had a poster on eVET Ready Self-evaluation Tool but it was natural that also our course for VET teachers and trainers was mentioned. The fact that the course is going to be open and availiable for institutions and individuals in 8 languages was in line with the general movement towards open education. And still the lack of OER for VET is a challange indicated by many practitioners attending this event.
