Module it! Digital Teaching for VET is an European project coordinated by the VET provider Apro Formazione (Italy), together with Noorderpoort (The Netherlands), SEDU (Finland) and Faculté des Métiers - École Hôtelière de Cannes (France).
Module it! Digital Teaching for VET project aims to improve digital skills of teachers and trainers in vocational sector and, in particular, to increase their ability in creating attractive and interesting digital lessons, their ability in motivating, supporting and engaging students for digital learning and their abilitiy in using pedagogically digital technologies, in particular for aged teachers.
These results are attained through two main actions: providing an online course catalogue for teachers and trainers and setting up a 40-hour digital training module.
The online course catalogue collects a selection of already existing courses about digital teaching, selected, tested, evaluated and validated by the partnership experts. The courses are all free and cover these topics: digital skills, pedagogical tools, future teaching, and legal consideration.
The 40-hour training module is meant to offer a methodology that can be applied digitally in any vocational sector, so to implement the possibility to provide digital lessons even in vocational subjects. The structure of the training module is the following:
- 10-hour distance preparatory activities
- 20-hour digital training programme
- 7-hour project work
- 3-hour final assessment.
To test the validity of the methodology, the project partners decided to pilot the digital training module in cook sector, involving 80 students in total.
After the piloting, the partners will set up two guides, one for teachers and one for EDU-VET organizations, that will include tools and suggestions to plan, manage and integrate the module in the traditional curricula.
The project started in April 2021 and will last until March 2023. The first results are expected for June 2022.
