45 teachers signed up to participate in the testing of the Italian version of the e-learning course titled “VETeL”, 35 people started the course and 15 teachers are still active.
The teachers participating in the course are acquiring new didactic, pedagogical and technological skills, learning how to design an e-learning course for their students.
The course provides for an individual study, group activities and interaction between participants, teachers are currently dealing with Module 7, so most of the course has already been concluded. The Italian teachers who are keeping on participating are those who showed most interest in acquiring new skills/knowledge, sharing and dialoguing with others.
The participants work in the field of Education and Vocational Training, they come from all over Italy and are very well-prepared. They are contributing to improve the course thanks to their feedback and suggestions, bringing their knowledge in the course as an added value.
Once the testing phase is concluded, the course will be adapted and will be available as OER (Open Educational Resource) under Creative Commons License.
