EkoZet Learning Space – Development and testing of teaching and learning modules for using EkoZet as a vocational training learning space for innovative energy technology
Taking into account the growing diversity of technologies and approaches to implementing solutions aimed at highly efficient energy use presents a constant challenge for vocational schools, workplaces and inter-company training centres (ÜBA), not least because of the investment and resources required.
The Energy Competence Centre (EkoZet) of the Rhein-Erft district is an information and education centre focusing on energy efficiency and energy supply, with a particular emphasis on construction, renovation and housing. Equipped with state-of-the-art technology – provided there is a suitable teaching concept in place – the EkoZet offers an ideal learning environment for vocational training under authentic conditions. It is therefore the operators’ intention that the EkoZet should also be used in future to support initial vocational training.
Against this background, the ‘Work-Oriented Training Processes’ department was commissioned to implement the use of the EkoZet as a ‘learning space’ for the occupations of plant mechanic for plumbing, heating and air-conditioning systems and electronics technicians for energy and building services. In collaboration with the operators, three participating vocational colleges and the Solar Lifestyle agency, several teaching and learning modules will be developed, implemented and evaluated on the basis of a coordinated teaching concept.
