Capacity building for the development and review of CARNET's services in relation to the use of ICT
The project “Capacity Building for the Development and Review of CARNET services Connected with the Use of ICT in Education” began in June 2016 and continued until the end of May 2018. The project was carried out within the framework of the Erasmus+ programme, Key Action 1: Learning Mobility of Individuals.
Erasmus+ is an EU program for education, training, youth, and sports for the 2014-2020 period. Its purpose is to support participating countries in effectively leveraging European human and social capital, while also acknowledging the principle of lifelong learning by connecting support mechanisms to formal, non-formal, and informal learning in education, training, youth, and sports.
About the Project
The project's goal was to strengthen the capacities of CARNET employees, who will use the project to build their competences by working on a number of topics concerning the improvement of teaching and learning processes with the help of ICT. They will also exchange their prior experiences in training sessions focused on team and group consultation and development competences. Visits to partner organizations were organized to familiarize participants with methods for the development, evaluation, quality assurance, and review of user training and support services related to ICT use, as well as with methods for providing technical support to the distance learning system.
The project consisted of three phases: preparation, mobility activities realization, and knowledge exchange and information dissemination.
The cooperating institutions on the project, which organized the planned structured courses, are In Dialogue Netherlands, a company specializing in the communication and organizational aspects of individual, team, organization, and community development, and the Teachers Training Center of Almada, an institution specializing in adult education and training for teachers in primary and secondary schools and principals. In addition to structured courses, the project also includes visits to institutions (Glasgow Clyde College and Oxford Brookes University) for the purpose of exchanging experiences and acquiring new knowledge concerning the improvement of the distance learning system.
