3. e-learning section part A’ e-learning for us is a continuum involving any form of instructional technology with face to face instructor led Training in order to improve the quality of learning by facilitating access to resources and services as well as remote exchanges and collaboration The use of new multimedia technologies and the Internet to improve the quality of learning by facilitating access to resources and services as well as remote exchanges and collaboration Definition from the elearningeuropa.info portal “E-learning is the acquisition of knowledge and skills using electronic technologies such as computer- and Internet-based courseware and local and wide area networks” Learning Supported by ICT = CEDEFOP Definition of e-learning

4. Types of e-learning Synchronous learning Asynchronous learning Blended learning How ExpertOnes operates e-learning Online ANYTIME – asynchronous learning Online LIVE – synchronous learning Blended learning Mentor led training Types of e-learning 3 types of e-learning & how we operate e-learning

5. Synchronous Learning In Synchronous Learning the trainee participates in real time learning via an intranet or the Internet. Learning of this type has many similarities to the education in a classroom, with the difference that the instructor and participant are in a "virtual" room that has no geographical limitations. Using this type of e-learning technology the instructor has the possibility to provide training anywhere in the world. This type of learning can be recorded electronically and can be repeated again later when necessary. The communication tools used are chat, "virtual" classrooms and sharing applications. Asynchronous Learning The form of e-learning where there is not an immediate, "synchronous" communication between the learner and the trainer during the learning process. In the case of asynchronous training the trainer can prepare the educational materials and store it to an electronic medium (LCMS/LMS), while afterwards the learner can take the learning material anywhere and at any time he / she chooses to. It appears that this type of training is more flexible, but there is no communication trainer - trainee in real time. The communication tools used are e-mail correspondence (messaging), Discussion Groups and Bulletin Boards. Blended Learning The term Blended learning describes the learning model of learning which implements both asynchronous communication technologies and conventional education structures. In this model of learning, learners usually begin the education process at conventional educational structures and then access content and communicate with the trainer using Internet technologies. Definition of Synchronous, Asynchronous, Blended

6. e-learning through a mentor, who: implements the educational course monitors the progress of the course evaluates the results encourages the participants to complete the e-learning courses through: e-mentoring or online mentoring group mentoring (group of people) one on one mentoring (personal mentoring) E-learning Section Part A’ How e-learning is operated by ExpertOnes .1

7. E-learning Section Part A’ Activities: regular meetings with the participants of the educational e-courses regular meetings with the other mentors and the responsible for the development of the program analysis of the possibilities according to the purpose of the program Initial training and training during the course of the educational program In addition Mentors are selected and trained accordingly, for the purposes of the educational course Introduction of the mentor to the mentees and continuous building of the relationship between them Unofficial and official mentoring How e-learning is operated by ExpertOnes .2

8. Cultural Issues & e-learning Complicated issue, needs analysis per country / differences between European, North Latin, Latin, Asian and African countries Culture analysis must observe the following before proceeding to the design and planning of the e-learning course: Behavior Objects, symbols, rewards & surroundings Talk, language, and jargon (written and spoken) Values, emotions, and beliefs Perceptions, tacit knowledge & assumptions Myths, anecdotes, sagas, & stories Political, Economical & Religious Issues

10. Instructors and learners must understand the language, otherwise the educational program has no value

11. Averseness towards new technology and level of literacy

14. Neutral

15. affective

17. Analysis of the learning needs The analysis of the characteristics and educational needs is made through specific evaluation process, which indicates the level of knowledge, as well as the learning method that suits best to meet the needs of the learners. The evaluation is done with the use of a structured questionnaire. Based on the characteristics and educational needs of the learners, decisions will be made on: Type of the electronic learning that will be followed The services that will be provided to the participants of the training The educational and accompanying material that will be produced for the implementation of the training The appropriate tools that will be used for the development of the learning content (e.g. Flash) Potential threats to the success of the project. 2. Content definition The second step for the development of an e-course is to determine its content. The electronic material to be created must include among others: It will be structured in small learning modules (Learning Objects), hence providing the possibility to complete it in a short time. This option is also one of the basic principles of adult learning, since the adult learner has many different distractions along the duration of an e-learning course Cultural Issues & e-learning

18. 3. Selection of the appropriate electronic training solution Asynchronous Learning Synchronous Learning Blended Learning Cultural Issues & e-learning

19. 4. Selection of the appropriate tools The selection of the appropriate tools to be used must be based on: The file format The interactivity provided by the tools The optimization of the produced content so as to be used on the Internet, CD-ROM or both The ability to create automatic navigation menu The ability to support international standards such as SCORM & AICC The available resources.

41. Discouraging reasons for e-learning Lack of personal interest No clear idea of what is e-learning (procedure) No clear view of the benefits after completion No clear correlation between e-learning and qualifications for career progress Lack of resources: Money Time Trainers “Extrinsic motivation is impersonal and is based on rewards that originate from outside the learner. Students achieve in order to win parents’ approval, or to gain the praise of their teacher, or to earn high grades” (Yount 1996, 279). These learners are passive, and when the rewards stop, the good academic behavior does also “Intrinsic motivationis based on the personal satisfaction derived from achieving learning goals. Students achieve because of their own personal desire to learn […] and master their subjects” (Yount 1996, 279). These learners are active in the learning process and are more motivated towards learning and e-learning is specific

42. Life Long Learning per PP L.3879/2010 (21.09.2010) and the new National Life Long Learning Framework aim at: The regulation and coordination of educational and training needs of adults in relation to the labour market needs and social development Design, planning and decentralization of LLL actions, the systematic support of the National LLL Network and the programmatic partnership between of government actors with the actors providing LLL The promotion of vocational training and adult learning as two equal pillars of Life Long Learning The establishment of standards and means for the development and improvement of the quality of LLL The continuous education and evaluation of adult educators Ensuring the access of people and especially members of socially vulnerable and vulnerable groups to training & adult education Creation of a Coherent National Evaluation and Certification Framework for all forms of training and adult education: The establishment of the National Organization of Certification Qualifications, which will undertake the establishment of an identification and certification system of qualifications, acquired knowledge, skills and abilities of individuals: Ensure quality and trust between the State and social partners Enhance transparency in the qualifications Facilitate access and progress in LLL processes Support the relationship between education & training and labor market needs The establishment of a single National Qualification Framework for the Certification of knowledge, skills and abilities (NQF), which uses 8 levels of reference based on learning outcomes, describe what a learner knows, understands and is able to do after the completion of a learning process. Presentation of the LLL priorities per country

43. Life Long Learning per PP Priorities: The citizen. Focus on the adult learner, the educational and training needs, his/hers interests, removing barriers to participation in learning activities, certification of qualifications. Linking LLL, employment and economic growth. Equip workers with the appropriate of technical skills and appropriate training in order to be adapted directly to LLL, employment and the economic development of the country. The establishment of operating rules for all education & training providers, whether they are within the formal education system or are in the area of post-secondary education. The role of Government is to put rules applicable to all (public, private and social actors) and set critical bodies that can apply the rules in a transparent and social accountable way. The establishment of the National Qualifications Framework (NQF) which will ensure transparency and quality of assessment, recognition and certification of both work experience and learning, regardless of the way of acquisition.
