And here it is – the full version of recording from 3rd eVET2EDU meeting in Palermo. The meeting was organised by CESIE – European Centre for Studies and Initiatives between 17-18 October 2013. Thanks to our colleagues from HIST (Norway) for this nice piece of memories.

eVET2EDU channel on YouTube
On the Polish eVET2EDU course we have already reached to the Module 5 where learners are facing the challenge of making short educational videos and publishing them on YouTube. They are getting on well and they are experimenting, arranging themselves online and thinking of e-tivities – which is important for us as facilitators.
Polish learners had already created 21 videos gathered in playlist within the official eVET2EDU channel. The plan is to create different playlists for each partners’ country with videos from Module 5. So more will come.
From the previous blog post you already know the magnificent promotional video from Online EDUCA Berlin 2013 which was created by our Norwegian colleagues from HIST. This is another thing that can be found on evet2edu YouTube channel. If you are interested how we were working during 3rd meeting in Palermo or would like to see how Spanish team conducted the videoconference in Module 3, you will find recording from these events on YouTube as well. YouTube here we come!
Have a nice watching 
(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.
Webconferencing is on
News from Poland, where over 60 participants survived the first 2 weeks of the course.
We have scheduled six online meetings with the participants of the course. As we all know that technology is not to be trust completely it is fun and learning to try out the features of the Openmeetings tool as well as to discuss the various form of e-learning in VET. All the participants agree: it is new and challanging but absolutely worth trying!
Course started in Norway
The Norwegian students started working with module one from 22th november. Facilitator Regine Ringdal shows the first postings.
Slovenian “students” are getting to know Padlet
Slovenian students in e-course have finished work in first module and are just beginning to know their competencies in module 2.
Polish VET teachers: ready steady go!
Today Polish e-course has just started! Among 100 participants enrolled for the piloting there are teachers from various VET fields: mining, industrial production, economics, gastronomy, hairdressing, construction, logisticks, hospitality etc. so the groups are diversified. Also in terms of space participants are dispersed all around Poland, so indeed e-learning is necessary! We hope to learn how our course can be even better fitted for their needs.
The groups has started posting their first assigments and we already have plans for videoconferencing. For us, as facilitators, it is a real challange – first time to work with so many participants. We needed to modify some tasks and tools to fit better to the large online community.
3, 2, 1 go Slovenia
In Slovenia we have started the piloting proces with (for now) over 25 VET teachers from all over Slovenia. We hope that we will get feedback that will help us make this e-course even better.
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!
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!
