LIFELONG LEARNING PROGRAMME
LEONARDO DA VINCI MULTILATERAL PROJECTS - TRANSFER OF INNOVATION 2011, GRANT
AGREEMENT n° CZ/11/LLP-LdV/TOI/134011 (2011-2014)
We have
identified that in the area of VET there were missing specific types of
training materials covering the topics of advanced communication, automation
and power engineering technologies. According to the performed survey, the demands
for specific topics are different in the individual partner countries. We also
identified that there were in fact no specialized study materials in English.
Also, in the partner countries there were not available pedagogical materials
for VET in satisfactory extent and quality that would fully use the advantages
of modern educational methods based on ICT (e-learning, on-line and off-line
electronic materials, e-books etc.). However, similar materials have been
developed for other target groups within EU-supported projects; therefore it is
advisable to adapt them in an innovative way. The main objective of the project
is substantial increasing of VET level for the target group. This objective
will be achieved mainly through the following steps:
• Update and adaptation of the selected
e-learning courses (EN).
• Localization of selected courses
to national environments.
• Adaptation of a multilingual
multimedia dictionary, its extension with an explanatory part, supplementing of
relevant subject entries and translation into one more language (SV).
• Preparation of an off-line version
(suitable for eBook readers) and of a printable form of the courses.
• Training of tutors and teachers,
pilot run in all partner countries.
• Final correction of the results
(based on the feedback).
• Pilot accreditation of selected
course(s).
• Ensuring of sustainability after
the conclusion of the project.
The
consortium is based in 5 countries and it consists of 9 institutions of
different types, so that it is able to achieve the given objectives in an
optimum way. Most of the partners have previous experience with EU projects
focused on continuous and distance education. Universities can contribute with
their professional knowledge and skills in lifelong learning, development of
educational materials and preparation of methodologies. Secondary schools are
specialized on VET, and they represent the target group. Industrial companies
have good understanding of he needs that the industry has in terms of
qualification and professional preparation of the employees. The principal
output will be 400 pilot trainees. The courses (and other results) will undergo
final corrections and adjustments, and then they will be made available for
routine operation in the VET systems of the partner countries. This effect will
be supported by the pilot accreditation of selected course(s) in one partner
country. The developed materials will serve as a model for other VET
institutions, enabling the development of different materials for other areas.
Another impact will consist in the increased attractiveness of technical
disciplines for the trainees, which will support their adherence to the
respective professional areas.
