Smooth Hybrid and Online Working for VET

The project was applied because of the situation caused by the COVID-19. The need to provide online and distance learning possibilities at VET institutions increased. At the same time all teachers...

The aim of the project was to provide a model for smooth online working for VET providers. By applying this teachers’ mentoring process model, teachers' ability to implement online, blended, and distance education, as well as students' learning experience can be improved. During the mentoring process teachers can develop their digital pedagogical level and they will be more capable in offering quality learning possibilities for learners. This will strengthen VET institutions’ ability to provide high quality digital education. The SHOW-VET -project aimed to • improve and increase know-how on e-learning among teachers and trainers • increase teachers’ knowledge on implementation of blended and distance teaching • Improve digital skills and competences • Produce a Smooth Online Guide for teachers with pedagogical methods • Make teachers’ training material • Train mentors and teachers • Produce new e-learning materials

The core idea of the SHOW-VET project was that the consortium of education providers and other partners develop a step-by-step model for smooth online working for VET providers which includes a teachers’ guide with pedagogical methods and training and other material. Developed material was used to train mentors and these trained mentors used the materials during the local mentoring processes. Teachers from selected study fields created new e-learning materials during the mentoring process. All the activities were implemented as planned: - teacher’s competence level was analysed, and current situation determined from the results of the situation analysis survey. - Kick-off meeting (TPM1) and other TPM’s supported the project implementation; - Smooth Online Working guide for teachers was created; - The impact survey was conducted; - The training material was created; - The mentor training was organised; - The local mentoring pilots were implemented; - The model for smooth online working for VET providers was created; - New e-learning material was produced for several study fields; - Multiplier events were organised. Please, see ANNEX 1 SHOW-VET Gantt Chart 2023
