Current European research shows that a flexible approach to learning is favoured by a growing number of students who need to fit working life within the framework of learning new skills; in addition, older members of the workforce wish to engage in life long learning. For many people full-time attendance at a local training organisation is problematic due to disability, geographical location or working patterns. The aim of the project is to develop Educational Podcasting (audio/media broadcasting over the internet) to enable these learners to gain knowledge through part-time attendance whilst maintaining the personal support of a tutor.

The six partners, from Greece, Italy, Latvia, Romania, Poland and the UK have met regularly over the life of the project to develop the product, evaluate activities, plan tasks and resolve issues. In the second year of the project, trainees have also been involved in these meetings to ensure the successful piloting of the project. Effective communication between meetings has be ensured via e-mail, video conferencing, on-line meetings and a project blog.

The majority of the podcasts that are presented in this blog, have been developed by the students of the project which have enhanced their technological together with their cultural skills.

Student Visit Documentation

Today I will send you the documentation we have agreed the student participants will use to support their project visits. Barrie will investigate methods of having this documentation available on the blog for future use.

As agreed, all student participants in project visits need to complete these documents and I suggest we pilot their use for the visit to Athens.

I will include this as an item on the Agenda for discussion in Athens and look forward to feedback from yourselves and the students.

Please comment on this post so that I know you have received the information.
