EDU-VET – E-Learning, Digitisation and Units for Learning at VET schools – Creating online Learning Environments in Technical Education for European metal industry
Overview
Digitalization is becoming a challenge for vocational schools. Learners are used to new media because they use technical devices such as smartphones and tablets in their daily lives. However, digitalization is not yet as much of a focus at school. For teachers and vocational schools, the changes in social life and in the economy are leading to new challenges. In the future, vocational schools will not only have to provide smartboards or a PC room to show that they are ready for a changed life situation, but also focus on offering courses online and integrating e-learning into their daily teaching activities.
Objective
The ERASMUS+ project EDU-VET focuses on digitalization and the development of learning modules for vocational education in the metal sector. The main goal of the EDU-VET project is to create new teaching and learning environments for vocational education. The project focuses on the development of e-learning courses. For this reason, the partners will design a curriculum, an online teaching approach for learning technical education in vocational schools. This will support both teachers with appropriate innovative learning resources and learners with innovative modern ways to deal with topics and learning activities.
In view of the permanent change in technology and the use of mobile devices, the partners focus on the design of an innovative learning environment that combines the aspects of blended learning and digital media.
Therefore, the core idea of the consortium is to collaborate internationally to jointly develop, apply and assess multilingual and multimedia ECVET learning outcome units integrated in a web-based learning platform that provides not only learning units for learners but also community elements to work interactively and foster collaboration.
