On Thursday and Friday (27th and 28th of March 2014) we had our fourth partners’ meeting. It was held in a very beautiful Croatian cost city of Split. The meeting was very fruitful and we have accomplished a lot. An action plan for WP 3 has been prepared, as well as a course and handbook amendments. They are intended for exploitation, sustainability and for dissemination activities that will follow in next months. There is still a lot of work ahead of us, but the finished products will be very useful for all VET teachers and we are eager to keep up the good work.

Impressions of the course participants
I am very glad I decided to participate in this course. This is a new experience for me, and also a challenge. Sometimes I used the online materials but did not know how to create them and I wasn’t familiar with the procedure of licensing of copyrighted content.

3rd Project’s meeting: evaluation and testing
The third project’s meeting in Palermo is approaching. The agenda is very tight as testing and evaluation are the main issues to be discussed during the two days visit at CESIE. Our aim is to design an effective yet light evaluation strategy so that we can learn as much as possible from the piloting - from VET teachers participating in the e-courses in all partners’ countries!
The concept map of the course released!
Effective work during the first day of 2nd project meeting at University of Murcia brought about a map with draft structure of the online course that we are going to revise in next months. 
We have decided to add to our course three new modules:

- re-using exisiting resources (focus on Open Educational Resources, Creative Commons, repositories and tools for searching and re-using resources) Continue reading
