Objective
Education and training providers who lack both an awareness of the value of computers as teaching aids as well as the inclination to learn new information technology (IT) skills, risk exclusion from the workforce. Co-operation between European partners would help to raise awareness of the importance of IT in improving the quality and delivery of training. The objective of this project is to develop an IT training resource to encourage the use of IT as a training medium, improve skill competence and enhance the quality of vocational training. Participants on work placements will analyse IT software packages and their suitability as educative tools to support four subject areas: technology; commerce; social care; and adult education.
The aims are to develop a format to evaluate and catalogue suitable software packages and produce an educational video to promote IT as a flexible medium for enhancing the delivery of vocational training. An accompanying manual will enable practitioners to make informed choices concerning software packages and their application. Teacher exchanges will provide a framework for testing and evaluating the products for development.
Impact
Increased awareness of the value of IT and computers as pedagogic instruments will motivate individuals to learn new IT skills. The transferable training resource will provide a model for other areas of curriculum development.
