"<< Background >>VET staff is usually left alone to deal with accessibility needs during the lessons and educational moments. They don't have the skills or instruments to address: they are not required to undergo any specific training regarding accessibility or how to support students with disabilities and Special Educational Needs (especially in distance learning) in any of the partner countries. The purpose of the STIT project is to enhance both teachers and students: the teachers who need compasses, tools and environment to operate at their best in the contemporary reality and students so that they can put the world they belong to (the technological one) at the service of their learning, with their skills and practices.The consortium is composed by 1 Sientific partner: it will contribute to the project with the inclusive teaching and methodological experience; 3 Tester partners: VET organizations that have expressed the needs in terms of practices and tools knowledge for distance teaching with students with disabilities/SEN; 2 Technical partners, dealing with IT development and characterized by a scientific approach to the communication. They will develop the Intellectual Outputs.<< Objectives >>The STIT proposal has the goal to foster the professional development of VET staff and, consequently, to improve accessibility and inclusion in the VET sector's digital and distance learning, in particular withstudents with disabilities and Special Educational Needs. By sharing skills and competencies, the STIT project will be able to obtain a rapid dissemination of good practices and the creation of virtuous training processess, capable of improving through comparison and always updated. The project will be able to promote a ""collective intelligence"" which Pierre Levy summarizes with ""nobody knows everything, everyone knows something"".<< Implementation >>The project activities are divided into 5 Work Packages.WP 1) Project Management, in order to ensure the good cooperation between partners; WP 2) LTTA implementation, in order to improve the expertise, skills and competences of the staff working for partners; WP 3) I.O. 1 ""Online training course for VET staff"" development, in order to spread the pedagogical practices learned, beyond the project’s partner staff; WP 4) I.O. 2 ""Survival Toolkit for VET staff"" development, in order to provide a practical tool to teachers, staff, mentors who need to go beyond their academic preparation, often theoretical, with the goal to help them to better serve students with disabilities/SEN during the distance learning; 5) Communication and dissemination, in order to inform more stakeholders as possible, including policy makers, regarding the I.Os developed and freely usable online.<< Results >>The STIT project will foresees the development of 2 high-impact Intellectual Outputs with high transferability potential. The first one is the ""Online Training Course for VET"" staff that aims to spread the pedagogical practices learned, beyond the project’s partner staff. The course will be made up of pre-recorded webinars and will include interactive moments (i.e. moments of reflections, games, etc.) which will maximize the learning impact on the course taker. The second one is the ""Survival Toolkit for VET staff"", crowdsourcing digital platform aiming at collecting adaptable resources starting from the teaching experience of VET partners. The Survival Toolkit will enable teachers to create its own lessons using and combining tools and solutions adopted by others. The goal is to use the potential of the digital world by promoting flexible customizable and collaborative models."
