ASIE has recently become a partner within a new Erasmus+ project entitled Continuing Professional Development in Digital Education for VET (COVET). The project lasts 24 months, starting March 2021 until February 2023.
The new type of education, the online training experimented on a large scale mainly due to Covid-19 crisis has turned teachers of different subjects into IT&C experts. This project intends to develop a Continuous professional development program (CPD program) for VET teachers and trainers to provide upskilling of the VET teachers and trainers in digital competencies that enable design of online lessons and their quality delivery to the VET students.
The main result of the project will be the ADAPTATION OF THE EDUCATORS TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF QUALITY DIGITAL TEACHING and will be achieved by creation of two tangible intellectual outputs in form of “products” and several other outputs, outcomes and impacts, as follows:
INTELLECTUAL OUTPUTS (products):
- IO1: ANALYSIS OF the VET TEACHERS’ NEEDS (Study)
- IO2: Digital training delivery in VET (part 1 – CPD program for VET staff, part 2 – Instruction set of sample online VET lessons, part 3 – Program web-page)
OTHER OUTPUTS (immediate results achieved soon after the completion of the projects and its activities)
- improvement of the teaching/training skills of at least 91 trainers/teachers;
- improvement of the awareness of 660 people (managers/teachers involved in the project activities) of the potential and usability digital training delivery;
