In order to ensure the best possible project results, we asked our participants and course tutors during the piloting of the VETeL course in all the partner countries to provide us with regular feedback on individual modules, the design of activities and interaction, the time allocated for those activities, the quality of content, the usefulness and quality of moderation. Additionally, the course was evaluated by an external expert evaluator, who assessed the course design and provided the team with additional guidelines for improvements and revision.
Based on the feedback from participants and the external evaluator, the course has been revised and improved. The module duration has been slightly adapted, so the course now last 50 hours over 12 weeks, with workload of 4 hrs/week. Some activities were shortened, changed or removed to provide for a clearer task list and more concise objectives. The list of competences the participants will acquire has been adapted and now includes 7, as opposed to 8 competences. The tools used for activities in the course were also adapted based on participant and tutor comments about their usability in the course and where needed replaced with better solutions. Some visualisations and images were added, clarifications and additional instructions provided where needed. Finally, the order of modules has been changed and is now: Module 1 Intro, Module 2 Competences, Module 3 E-learning, Module 4 E-tivities, Module 5 Motivation, Module 6 Group work, Module 7 Moderation, Module 8 Developing resources, Module 9 Reusing resources, Module 10 Facilitator’s role.
The revision was a collaborative effort of all the project partner teams.
The changes have been implemented in the English and local versions of the course, and the team is proud to say that the course can now be offered to a broader audience in partner countries and beyond!
