Title: IMPLEMENTATION OF AN INNOVATIVE MODEL AND SELFSUSTAINABLE SYSTEM OF ECDL CAD TRAININGTESTING CENTER


1
IMPLEMENTATION OF AN INNOVATIVE MODEL AND
SELF-SUSTAINABLE SYSTEM OF ECDL CAD
TRAINING/TESTING CENTER (CECA)
  • Project no. 2005 - RO/05/B/F/PP175005 funded
    through Leonardo da Vinci Programme

Why?
  • The EC COM (2001) 172 final initiative following
    the conclusions of the Lisbon European Council
    states the importance of ICT at European level
    due to the increasingly proeminent place in both
    occupational life and in peoples day-to-day
    lives.
  • the knowledge and access to these Information
    Technologies are essential for enhancing the
    employability rate
  • the importance of initial ICT training at high
    schools and University level is stressed, along
    with the importance of lifelong learning and
    adult learning.

3
Why?
  • The Action Plan devised by the EC comprises four
    lines of actions
  • infrastructure development
  • training
  • high-quality multimedia services and dialogue
  • cooperation at all levels of all Member States
    and Candidates.
  • The project addresses directly all these lines of
    actions.

Partners
  • Promoter
  • Politehnica University of Bucharest, Romania
  • (Materials Technology and Welding Department)
  • Partners
  • SILABO Laboratorio per la Società
    dellInformazione , Italy
  • SISTEMI E SERVIZI S.R.L. , Italy
  • Computer Literacy Centre at the Kaunas
    University of Technology , Lithuania
  • MECB MacDAC Engineering Consultancy Bureau,
    Malta
  • XGrant , The Netherlands

Consortium
6
Objectives
  • Develop specific models of "self-sustainable ECDL
    CAD training/testing centre" related with the
    specific organisational, professional,
    didactical, economics contexts of every Partner 
  • Development of the Romanian Technological
    Infrastructure for the experimentation of the
    Model and the System for the Centre. The
    infrastructure will be put near the centre of the
    Promoter and it will have a series of
    technologies of development e/o fruition near the
    centres of the other partners, also for the
    experimentation of the products of distance
    formation. 
  • Design and print of ECDL CAD manuals needed for
    the training/testing process (manuals with ISBN,
    approved and accredited by ECDL), in two
    languages Romanian and English

7
Objectives
  • Disseminating and valorisation of results and
    good practices via CDs, leaflets, brochures, ECDL
    CAD manuals with ISBN (in at least two languages
    Romanian and English), website 
  • Take necessary steps to ensure that Welding
    Technology and Engineering students will study
    CAD concepts after the new ECDL analytical
    curricula (with optional awarding of ECDL CAD
    certificates by request) at the Promoter level
  • Take necessary steps to ensure that students will
    study CAD concepts after the new ECDL analytical
    curricula (with optional awarding of ECDL CAD
    certificates by request) at the level of every
    Partner of the project consortium, as an
    improvement in initial training

8
Objectives
  • Expertise share with other EU partners with
    recognized competence in the area of the project
  • Address a fine-sectorial need of great demand of
    qualified people with IT skills and competences
    (medium level) 
  • Equal opportunities with regards to the
    employment chances and promote of young
    graduates equal opportunities for both man and
    women
  • Design and implementation of VET and eVET
    products for pilot courses based on the ECDL CAD
    syllabus, in two languages Romanian and English
    the eVET contents published in to specific
    and-Learning Platform 

9
Objectives
  • Ensure that ECDL distance learning is an option
    for people most at a disadvantage in the labour
    market, including disabled people
  • Covering new qualifications and skills required
    by the labour market due to technological
    advances and evolution, referred to the different
    situation in the countries of the partnership
  • Sharing of experiences in the area of ECDL
    training/testing among project partners 

10
Target audience
  • Staff that will use the new methodology being
    developed during the project development stage
  • High-school and university students with the
    desire to improve their IT skills and
    competencies
  • Young engineers (young graduates) and specialists
    working in the CAD domain - official recognition
    at European level
  • Public and governmental officials and personnel
  • Workers and personnel from institutions and
    industrial organizations requiring certification
    or vocational training or professional
    reconversion
  • Unemployed people or layed off personnel for
    professional reconversion
  • Adults seeking vocational training

11
eVET products
  • Part of the work related to online learning
    WP5, WP7
  • To ensure equal learning/testing opportunities
    for people at a disadvantage on the labour market
    (woman with children, single parents, people with
    lower body dissabilities etc.)
  • Most of the work is in its starting phase

12
eVET products
  • WP5 - PREPARATORY MODULE COURSE MATERIAL
  • Assess peoples IT knowledge first
    (questionnaires)
  • For people with no or limited knowledge on PC use
    but with desire to learn a specific CAD program
    (i.e. classical designers)

13
eVET products
  • CONCEPT AND REALISATION OF VIRTUAL DEMONSTRATION,
    LECTURES, SEMINARS, ONLINE TOOLS AND METHODS
    ACCORDING TO ECDL CAD SYLLABUS V1.0
  • WP responsible KUT CLC, PUB, MECB
  • Official completion Date February 2007

14
E-learning?
  • Learning methodology a combination of
    face-to-face lectures and online training
  • Why online learning? Answer was given by the
    representatives of the target groups via
    questionnaires

15
Target group analysis
  • Assuming that a good e-learning course for an
    ECDL CAD is developed, would you be willing using
    it?

E-learning materials
  • Moodle as the learning platform
  • SCORM compliant materials
  • Consistent with the paper materials in both
    colors and format (as expressed by representative
    of the target groups)

Conclusions
  • Work under way
  • Noticed an increase in peoples desire to use
    e-learning
  • In such specialised area such as CAD - need for
    online interaction between tutor and students via
    notice board, email, forum, tutorials, videos
    etc.
