MoBlend – Educational Resource to enhance Virtual & Blended Work-Based Learning

Description

The Covid-19 crisis has strongly affected the economic life and labour market as much as the school life.All forms of education and training, including VET, have been disrupted, with WBL and apprenticeships being the most affected. During the lockdown, distance learning failed to reach between 5% and 20% of beneficiary students in Europe, including those living in rural areas, with poor IT literacy and limited economic means, as well as students with special needs.In this context, there is a critical need to improve the quality of Virtual and Blended WBL (V&BWBL) and to ensure its inclusiveness. In order to reach the desired scenario, the needs of the target groups addressed by the project (VET Students, especially the ones with fewer opportunities and special needs, VET School Staff, Company Tutors) have to be satisfied. The needs of the target groups have been analysed during the project design and the results highlight poor knowledge of adequate technological means (both VET students and Compay Tutors), a lack of trust (VET School Staff and VET students), engagement (VET students) and payoff (CompanyTutors) in and from V&BWBL.Hence, the main objective of “MoBlend – Educational Resource to enhance Virtual & Blended Work-Based Learning” is to improve the quality of Virtual and Blended WBL initiatives and to guarantee an equal and inclusive access and participation to ensure its inclusiveness, especially for students with fewer opportunites and special needs.The specific objectives are: O1) Support VET Students, VET School Staff and Company Tutors in improving the quality of V O2) Promote the inclusiveness of VO3) Deepen the interest and trust in V&BWBL, affirming their value and match with the requests of the labour market;O4) Develop a cross-border and cross sector synergy with the purpose of creating innovative uses of Virtual&Blended Work-Based Learning tailored to the needs of students with fewer opportunities and special needs, even afterwards the COVID era.The activities planned aimed to achieve such objectives are: - development of a tailored learning course on digital tools and methods of V&BWBL- design of an ad-hoc and user-friendly tool for the evaluation and validation of VET experiences- Best Practice and existing policies research- Awareness campaign- Virtual WBL Test- 4 Transnational Project Meetings- 5 Multiplier EventsThe main expected results and impact of the project activities are the following:- OER aimed at improving the digital competences needed to perform V&BWBL- WebtTool to monitor the progress and the results of VET mobilities - Compendium of Virtual VET Best Practices to learn from previous positive experiences- Promotion and dissemination pack that includes: leaflets, logo, headed paper, social pages, newsletters, a website, articles on local/regional/national newspapers and on European magazine- Community of Practice to promote cooperation and further development of virtual and blended WBL at the European level- increased ability to provide a work based learning path through virtual or blended means;- increased awareness and confidence of virtual WBL opportunites;- increased digital skills, knowledge of IT tool for WBL, language skill and soft skills- enhanced cooperation between organizations active in the VET field enabling mutual exchange and improvement of working methods and good practices;- increased awareness of learning needs of students and especially those with FO and SN;- deepened knowledge of OERs for the provision of training courses and learning activities;- gained knowledge of Video pedagogy for the provision of training courses and learning activities;- increased awareness of learning needs of students and especially those with FO and SN;- increased training offer;- fostered dialogue with political decision makers, public institutions and other stakeholders and increased its prestige at European level;- increased network of organizations active in VET field at European level- increased knowledge and management skills of the Erasmus + KA2 and KA202 projects
