We were invited to present our work at teacher training in CNC technology. The teachers present at this workshop were form schools from the field of mechanical engineering. The field of mechanical engineering is very fast changing and we think that this field would be most appropriate to be introduced to e-learning.
The feedback was very positive and their opinion was that this e-course would be special suitable for young teacher who are good with technology but not that good in pedagogy of using it in e-learning.

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 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.
