Virtually all European Member state countries are promoting the use of digital technologies for teaching and learning in Vocational Education and Training. Competence in the use of digital technologies is seen as central to the promotion of new jobs and to the modernisation of VET. This requires new approaches to pedagogy in teaching and learning and new skills and competences by VET teachers and trainers in producing digital learning materials. The EU Joint Research Council has recently produced a Policy Report on a European Framework for the Digital Competence of Educators (DigiCompEdu), intended as a reference framework tool for implementing regional and national tools and training programmes. However, embedding technology in vocational education training in schools and in the workplace has a long way to go and many VET teachers in Europe have received little or no Continuing Professional Development in the use of technology for learning. This is especially so for part time teachers and trainers. There is a major challenge in creating opportunities for continuing professional development for existing teachers and trainers, including part time vocational teachers and workplace trainers. The project will develop open and innovative practices for the training of VET teachers and trainers in the use of technology for teaching and learning. The OECD’s Teaching and Learning International Survey (TALIS) Teachers’ Professional Development in Europe (2014) estimates that at that date there were still 2 million teachers who had received little or no training in using and teaching digital technologies. To cope with this unprecedented level of demand, the training of teachers needs to get smarter and more efficient. Project Results 1) Provision of support for those education professionals who are responsible for developing and Extend the European Reference Framework in the areas of digital pedagogy and the development of digital Open Educational Resources for VET teachers and trainers in school and workplace settings 2) Development of learning scenarios for different sectors in VET and creation of a model using learning scenarios for training VET teachers how to develop and use their own resources 3) The initial development of a digital repository of Open Educational Resources and best practice exemplars of using technology for teaching and training in VET in school and workplace settings 5) Exploration through interview and case study the different models and practices in delivering professional development for VET teachers and trainers 6) Development of the infrastructure and proof of concept for a Community of Practice in the use of technology for Open Education and training in VET in Europe. The target groups who benefit directly are staff development professionals, teacher and trainer trainers, institutional managers and those responsible for strategy at regional and national level and vocational teachers and trainers working in vocational schools and in the workplace. It is estimated that there will be about 400 direct beneficiaries and 1200 indirect beneficiaries who will be the vocational teachers and workplace trainers. The outputs of the project include a report on the Extension of the European Reference Framework in two key areas: Digital pedagogy and the production of Digital resources, learning scenarios for different sectors, and a model for using learning scenarios for training VET teachers and trainers on how to develop and use their own digital resources. These scenarios will provide trainers with practical guidelines for learning approaches, activities and content when designing their own lesson plans. A Community of practice for VET teachers and trainers in the use of technology for teaching and training in VET. The project team worked closely with regional and local staff and curriculum development agencies together with a Local Advisory Groups made up of key stakeholders. The immediate impact is increased capacity to provide high quality staff development and the longer term impact will be better integration of technology enhanced learning in vocational schools and in the workplace as a key contribution to the modernisation of VET.
