Objective
Employees of enterprises in general and of SMEs in particular are having more and more difficulties in taking training outside of their company as they cannot stay away from their work for long. Methodologically speaking, standard training sessions are not flexible enough. The main goal of this project is to explore and use new video-communication technology to provide in-house, open and long-distance training courses.
VITA W, Video Training At Work, will begin by analysing the various existing schemes in terms of technology for open and long-distance training. The second phase will be to design and test a long-distance training scheme in twenty enterprises using audio-visual communication tools, and then to define the skills required by the trainers and those in charge of training. Finally, the University of Bologna will carry out an overall evaluation of the project.
The results will be distributed telematically through an Internet site implemented as a part of the pilot project. Those interested can consult a comparative examination of European experiences and a comparative study on possible technical solutions and on related installation and management costs.
Impact
VITA W will create an international training network based on video-communication and will help maintain the competitivity of workers at a high level.
