eLene-TT:how did it all start? • The Ramboll Report: • we received their visit and we were used as case studies • An idea from one of the institutes involved: • work together on a common project… • We had to meet (before the report was finished) • http://www.elearningeuropa.info/extras/pdf/virtual_models.pdf THE NAME…
The eLenespirit: (h)eLene: a (h)uman e-learning network • A year of collaborative informal work; • 3 face to face project development meetings: • Milan (Nov 03) • Bremen (Feb 04) • Nancy (May 04) • Find a common topic, or several…
eLene-TT: Analysis • Literature, practices, needs • Some conclusions: • teacher training workplace learning • Needs: • Pedagogical approaches • Collaboration between teachers • Technological support • Content design • Institutional environment (more on this later…) • Criteria for designing TT actions and selecting appropriate tools
eLene-TT: Tools for teacher training • An example: COMPETICE (from France): • a self assessment tool for skills analysis, • National Ministry of Education project to support Campus Numériques, • all key players in e-learning from decision-making level to students, so including HE teachers… • Another example: Math Online B (from Italy): • 1 part face to face talking to teachers, • then they do something by themselves or accompanied by someone from our staff (METID), • they play the role of students, • then go off on their own, teach with students, • after come back to METID and discuss their experience in a party. • We want to make them as independent as possible.

Guidelines for TT - Key Issue: Institutional Environment University level human symbolic-cultural symbolic-cultural Does your university perform distance learning with e-learning?For how many students?Is there any pedagogical training?Is there an official strategy of the university on e-learning? (or a strategic scheme of e-learning development)What is the ICT culture of the university? political structural political Are there power games about resources? structural Organisation - What is the status of the university? (private / public)- Is there a teachers’ development skills unit at your university?- Is there an e-learning unit at your university? Ressources - Do teachers have access to good equipment easily?- Is there money for e-learning activities? Responsibilities - Who is responsible for the ICT strategy?- Who is responsible for TT?- Who is responsible for TT concerning e-learning ?- WHO says what has to be done?- WHO decides what resources are to be used?- WHO decides the constraints?- WHO validates?
