PROJECT BACKGROUND Studies on implementation of newly acquired skills show that without support mechanism, learning itself does result in knowledge & new skills being used in the workplace. A research conducted by Project Partners confirms employers and HR departments’ desire for a tool that would support implementation of training effects into the workplace. Respondents of the research agree, that such tool, available online, would help to grow their organizations. Introduction of innovative ICT tools in continuing vocational education and training is strongly supported by European Authorities’ recommendations.PROJECT OBJECTIVES The aim of the Project is to create online service that will support learning results implementation process through pre learning, learning and post learning tasks, can be linked to any e-learning module as well as traditional classroom training as part of blended learning experience.Regarding strategic framework for European cooperation in education & training (‘ET 2020’) project addresses two strategic objectives: Making lifelong learning and mobility a reality & Improving the quality, efficiency of education & training.PARTNERSHIPStrategic Partnership consists of 5 partners from 3 countries (Poland, Greece & Italy): P1.
