The overall aim is to improve the quality of vocational training and to encourage more individuals to make wider use of vocational learning opportunities, whether at school, in higher education, in the workplace, or through private courses.
It also gives information about the work carried out concerning this, and the use of technology in education.

Outcome 8. Evaluation

As Project partners from 6 different countries it was specifed how often and by whom our Project would be evaluated. Therefore the first year of our Project was evaluated by each partner and was submitted to their own national agencies. Morover,each Project meeting was evaluated by project meeting participants and the reports were presented in our forum of Project.

The document "Common Learning Platform:Preparing a common work plan to improve the transparency and recognition of qualifications and competences" takes into account

Vocational Education and Training (VET)
European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS)
The European Credit system for Vocational Education and Training (ECVET)

in order to avoid wasting people's talents and ensure skilled workers, without any discrimination due to age, nationality or partial disability, are adequately integrated into the labour market, it is necessary to validate and recognise their skills.

Outcome 6. Dewolab Guide

The technology is present in all areas of our daily life, covering more and more sectors, but in the field of education are still many schools that lack the resources to integrate technology and education and many others, that even disposing of technological means do not get optimal performance from them.

The integration of technology in the classroom it is increasingly necessary as it allows active participation by the student, the communication between teacher-student instant feedback and the performance of collaborative works and real-time connection to the rest of the world.

Outcome 5. Student Enquiry System

The Students Enquire System has the aim of asking students and trainees, in order to learn about the IT tools and devices they use, and the way they use them in their studies. It is vital to get to know not only that facts but also their opinion on the usability of these tools for they are the ones who experience the advantages and disadvantages of them.

In this project we have created a questionnaire, in all the languages of the project. There is an online version of the Students Enquire System.

The questionnaire can not be representative as for the whole student community of a certain country but can create a small sample of different students, thus avoiding the unwished one-sidedness In total it was filled in by 300 students.

Outcome 4. General Overview

N10 7962 ICTs are increasingly being used in education systems around the world. How do we know what the impact of such use is? How should we monitor and assessment the use of ICTs in education? How can, should and might answers to these questions impact the policy planning process? There is a lack of consensus on what can and/or should be measured, and how this measurement can and should take place. Lack of common sets of methodologies and indicators in this regard also hampers cross-national comparison of developments and the impact of related initiatives.

Outcome 3. Know How

Outcome 3 of Dewolab project, "Know how", summarizes, in a questions and answers format, what ECVET is about, from what is a learning outcome and how to describe them, to what are the competent instituntions involved in ECVET.

Outcome 2. Internet Platform

The second outcome of the Dewolab project is the web site, or Internet platform. It is the site where you are now (dewolab.org) and in it you can have all the information concerning the results of the project.

Outcome 1. SWOT Analysis

The challenge launched by UNESCO is the use and utilization of New Technologies of Information and Communication to provide students with the tools and knowledge necessary for the 21st century.
In this project we have created a questionnaire, in all the languages of the project.

The questionnaire is aiming at providing a structured view on what medias are used in the partner organisations and related organisation. How they are taught as well as what the staff and the students are realizing and thinking about it. Are those standards and experiences very different from each other or are they comparable? Is the pedagogy trained hard-and software up to date and sufficient and are the circumstances and methods to teach the medias good enough?
It is a survey - not a through statistical analysis. But it gives the partners useful hints about the environment in which they are actively teaching new technologies, and also allows a first overview of the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats involved in the area.
