We started our e-learning course in LITHUANIA! We are very happy that more than 60 teachers registered to the course, but unfortunately we were able to provide the possibility only for 45 participants from 11 institutions. We hope our participants will enjoy this extremely interesting experience as the enrolled teachers are from all over Lithuania. Looking forward to our warming up activities, implemented by different institution teachers!

A lot of teachers have already registered to the course in LITHUANIA
The recruitment process to the e-learning course has started in Lithuania and we‘re very happy to announce that there is a big interest - we already have 40 registered teachers although the registration is open till 8th of October. We really hope that teachers will enjoy this e-learning experience, as much as we are looking forward to start the course on 11th October!
Starting the Piloting phase for the e-learning course VETel!
The recruitment process for the piloting of the e-learning course “VETel” is starting!
The course has been adapted within the Project Leonardo TOI (e)VET2EDU – Supporting Vocational Teachers and Trainers in e-Learning-and it is ready to be tested!
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.
Recruitment for the course in Poland is launched
Currently teachers from almost 1000 vocational schools are invited to participate in the e-learning course that will start on 19th November and finish next year, on the 7th February.
The recruitment is carried on https://evet2edu.eu/moodle/login/signup.php?lang=pl and will be opened till 11th November 2013.

Towards the piloting: supporting multilingualism
Our multilingual e-learning environment is now up and running with multimedia, activities and assignments in 9 languages! The most time consuming tasks – translating and synchronising the subtitles and grapics is also done. Relatively easy task turned out to be rather tedious but the videos and graphics are definetly worth it. They are a crucial part of Module 5 dedicated to video-making, but you may find them also in Module 6 (re-use of content).
The registration form will be also multilingual so that teachers and trainers can easily create their accounts and sign up for the particular course.The recruitment is under organisation now in each country as the partners will run the piloting in different periods, from November ’13 till March ’14. Details will soon follow so stay tuned!
Course translation is running
After finalising the course adaptation our project has moved to the next phrase – the translation. Each partner is working on national version of the course. This task requires not only translation but also localisation: adding national examples of online courses for analysis, examples of Open Educational Resources, tools used for videoconferencing and so on.
Our working space, and future learning environment is based on Moodle. On Moodle eVET2EDU 9 courses will be available for piloting and in future as open courses under Creative Commons BY licence.
Course adaptation on its peak
Silence it is here but we are all very busy finalising the redesign of the course for teachers and trainers. What is new there, then?
There is a brand new module that forms a framework for the whole course – Developing Competences. We decided that this is crucial for VET, so there is going to be some cool videos and mind-blowing activities that will help teachers and trainers to re-think competencies and skills.
Another novelty is greater focus on resources, as they seem to be the lacking element for VET sector. So there will be two modules on that: one dedicated to creating and publishing multimedia, the second on re-using and re-mixing the resources already availiable.
There are some new activities designed, some videos being shot and some infographics added to stay tuned – the open piloting of the open course will be launched in October 2013.
