Irene — Mon, 05 May 2014 14:33:06 +0000

We are presenting Piloting Report based on the feedbacks received from all actors involved during the piloting phase of the e-course VETel .

The Report analised the responses of the:

Course participants which evaluated the course
Facilitators of the Course which assessed the Handbook for the facilitator
External Evaluators which monitored the Course implementation

The aim of the report was to guide the partnership to a further improvement of the e-course and of the Facilitator’s Handbook, to ensure an high quality of the final products. Recommendations for improving the e-course and manual will be the key points in the Report.

In total 128 participants attended the VET_eL e-course while “only” 64 (8 per country) have been foreseen by eVET2EDU project proposal.

The participants evaluated the VET-_eL e-course being aware of having learned and acquired new competences – appreciating the innovative aspects in terms of contents, approach, methodology and sector.

They ensured that the content of the e-course was relevant as a teacher in to a VET context and provided many suggestions for improving the course.

WP1: We are on the road!

One of the most important phases in a project is to stablish the scenario in where we are going to act.
For us, our scenario is the VET sector, specifically the teachers that we have in different countries teaching everyday in this environment.

The main goal to achieve in Work Packagge 1 in this project refers to understand the reality of each country regarding VET environment.
It is true that each country holds in itself a distinct and particular environment, but we believe that as Europeans we can find some common training needs to address our future course.

To accomplish this objective are working on two major tasks:

INTERVIEWS: Each partner is conducting four interviews with teachers. Teachers with experience in e-learning, but experts who can help us understand the environment in which they move and ask what needs they see in the VET environment and technology.
GOOD PRACTICES: we are in the process of agreeing on some basic criteria for good practices. Once we have agreed that, the next step is that each partner has to look for interesting practices in the field of e-learning and technology in VET sector, as references for our future experience.

The whole process is working with the working environment (PIER) and google docs as a tool to discuss and agree on different things. Murcia team, as responsible of WP1 proposes the document and the process, and this is discussed by all the members for a period of time.

Each partner records the information in a Google-form that sends to Murcia team. Murcia team collects all information and experiences. In January we hope to show the first results of the same.

Vytautas Magnus University (e)Vet2edu team is proceeding with interviews with practitioners of e-learning. It is very interesting to work on this activity and we feel that a lot of good ideas are coming to our report. The interviewers are very positive on e-learning and our project. They are really waiting for the new e-learning course and there is no doubt for the need of such course in VET sector.

Talking to the vocational trainers from Silesia

agniech — Tue, 18 Dec 2012 08:29:06 +0000

Sielsian region in the south of Poland is traditionally related to heavy industry: steel factories and mines are part and parcel of the environment. And they are also embedded in the educational landscape – schools and vocational training centres from the region train the specialists and workers for that particular industry branch.

The interview with vocational school teachers from that region using ICT in their teaching practice was really insightful. Blended learning that has been implemented on a large scale this September in the school is an excellent example of a purposeful use of ICT. However, the need for more collaborative, more interactive and engaging e-learning has been recognised and so perhaps apart from getting great information we can also recruit some trainers for our e-course as well.

We visited Secondary School of Economics in Maribor, where we met Mrs Fondak who was willing to answer our questions. Our aim was to gather experience and good practice of teachers in VET e-learning. This information will be used in adopting the e-course that was created for the Polish teachers.
