Coordinator: Stiftung Bildung & Handwerk, Germany
Background
In Europe, the use of innovative information and communication technologies (ICT) in vocational education and training is regarded as a priority since a couple of years. Despite a lot of successful programmes, (pilot) projects and initiatives, significant differences in the member states of the EU exist with regard to the implementation of E-learning in vocational schools and institutions of vocational education and training.
One requirement to increase the value and significance of E-learning in vocational schools and in vocational education and training in general is the sensitisation of teachers for the advantages of E-learning and a training of teachers as "E-Tutors" Not only the learners and the teachers need special competences to use and implement E-learning in a successful way – also the teachers have to fulfil the tasks of an "E-Tutor".
