Skills Workshop 2.0 – My Career
Development of a software-supported teaching and learning concept to strengthen work-process-oriented and media-supported dual vocational training. The focus was on a modular software framework comprising three key tools (portfolio, task manager and skills assessment) designed to provide digital support for the organisation of learning, learning support and reflection on vocational work and learning processes.
The core product under development is a browser-based, multimedia teaching and learning environment, supported by technical and pedagogical wizards, for use in in-company, inter-company and school-based vocational training.
The multimedia teaching and learning environment comprises three tools:
- The Task Manager guides trainers and teachers step-by-step through the creation of a learning and work task; the completed task can then be made available to trainees online.
- The training portfolio supports trainees – with a view to fostering cooperation between different learning environments – in systematically bringing together what they have learnt and experienced at the various learning locations, and in developing an understanding of the process and the aim of their training.
- The Competence Check serves as a reflection tool, enabling trainers, teachers and trainees to assess the trainees’ competence development through self-assessment and peer assessment.
All tools meet the requirements of rapid e-learning, i.e. they are easy to use, do not require users to have any specialised knowledge of media technology or media pedagogy, and do not require any special hardware.
The tools are being trialled, by way of example, in the following apprenticeship trades: plant mechanics specialising in plumbing, heating and air-conditioning; painters and varnishers; roofers; digital/print and image/sound media designers; and event technology specialists.
