Using business models and results from the Vitae, iQTool and eTutor Portal projects to increase ICT skills and competences of VET teachers, trainers, tutors and technical staff

The rationale for the understand IT project are twofold. Firstly, there is a documented need for VET teachers, trainers and tutors to include ICT in their learning activities. The project Vitae has developed a set of net based learning activities, using modern web 2.0 tools where VET teachers can discover how to use these tools in their own practise. This comes along with mentoring and other activities, all defined in the Vitae approach. Secondly, there is a general problem of how to disseminate and exploit results from Leonardo and other projects to a broader audience, outside the project group, and to new countries in EU.The main aim of this project is to envisage a strategy to make the results from EU projects more sustainable after the end of the project period. Building on the Generic Business Model, developed in understand IT; project leaders and managers are able to make their own business strategy and Vitae courses can be run all over Europe. What we will do:1. We will use results from the Leonardo projects Vitae (ICT Teacher training), iQTool (Quality assurance), and eTutors Portal (a repository for dissemination and resource sharing).2. We will make a design document and a business plan for the Vitae approach by running five sessions using the Concurrent eLearning Design (CCeD) model. All areas like content, pedagogy, technology and business will be covered, and all stakeholders and decision makers will take part. The model will run in a CCeD room and also distributed, using Mindmap and online communication.3. We will try out the results by running courses in 4 languages in four countries.4. We will evaluate all types of results, i.e. learning outcomes and business results.5. We will use the results to develop a generic business model, to be used for running courses by new institutions in other countries and also as a platform for exploitation of EU project results in general.
