Objective
Placements and exchanges have been one of the Leonardo programmes major successes for students, graduates, education/training institutions and businesses. However, there is a great need to develop a method of validating in-company training placements, especially with regard to the formal education system. This project will design and develop such a validation system, for use via the internet. The system will be piloted with 200 students undertaking placements in the information technology and engineering sectors.
Various modules will be designed according to the requirements of the two sectors. They will entail the use of specific assessment methods and multiple-choice tests in various disciplines. There will be three levels of difficulty. Trainees will have to provide correct answers to a certain percentage of questions in the first level, before being allowed to proceed to the next. Students will obtain credits for their overall performance. An official person will have to be present during the test.
Impact
The project will lead to the development of a formal and easily usable system for validating and certifying work placements. This will help to strengthen the work placement as an integral part of higher education in Europe.
