Learning e-Learning Skills for Vocational Training Using e-Learning: The Experience Pilonting the (e)VET2EDU Project Course

Abstract

In this paper we present principal data of the experience of the piloting of a European eLearning international course VETeL. The Project E-VET2EDU "Supporting vocational teachers and trainers in eLearning" is a two-year international project, funded by the European Union, that has developed and piloted a completely open online course (VETeL), in 9 different languages, aimed to train vocational trainers in the facilitation of eLearning courses. Taking into account that the main goal of this project is not only the development of the course's materials and the multilingual learning environment related to the course, but the improvement of the knowledge about VET, the experience of students, facilitators and coordinators of the course it is very important. It could be crucial for the improvement of the course itself, as well as for getting a better knowledge about how the participants of an online course in a non-traditional modality of formal learning are affected by the different aspects of this and give us some key points for improving.
