Lessons learnt from recent multiplier programmes:Training about the subject “eLearning” is costly and the impact

of this training is difficult to assess (the transfer phase

towards deployment is risky)

Conclusion:

Local stakeholders need to practice eLearning and –teaching

along their job responsibilities within their institution (“eat your own dogfood approach”).

Question:But how can stakeholders become enabled without extensive

face to face coaching ?

How does an entry strategy for a sustainable deployment of eLearning

in the TVET sector look like ?

1. Face to face workshops for TVET teachers base on an Action Learning

approach; modules represent steps in a standard operating procedure

2. Outcome of each module and the complete programme is measured by a

Portfolio Assessment

3. Re-usable online learning modules base on the WebQuest approach

of San Diego State University

4. Media deployment follows „Technological Minimalism“

5. Distance education model is adapted from Correspondence Schools

6. Courseware production takes place according to the

Re-usable Learning Object approach of CISCO and SCORM reference model

7. Content & Technology is open and the driving force is Service - Service – Service

Next steps:

Mainstreaming the generic eLearning project model TAHR™

1. How were sustainable development issues integrated ?

� eLearning enabling operating procedure with low initialization („rapid

eLearning“) and maintenance costs (SOP for life cycle management)

� Job performance duties mixed up with training shortens the transfer phase

2. What role do (quality) standards and practice-orientation play ?

� Reference models for re-usability (SCORM, CISCO RLO) have been applied

� Action learning meets the needs of eLearning multipliers in the South

� The role of tutors transforms to hands-on project coaches then

3. How could the policy-framework be improved in order to ensure a contribution

from TVET programmes to sustainable development?

� Continuous education with a live long credit point account for teachers

(like CME)

4. In what way can the deployment of e-Learning components contribute to the

promotion of sustainable development ?

� A contribution requires economy of scale – this takes some efforts yet ...

� Affordable mass customized eLearning products require a critical mass of

teachers plus affordable and customizable contents and technology
