Directions of effort • E-education – focus on Bologna Process • Educational services support under national educational requirements: bachelor, master degree, doctoral studies • Post-university on-line courses (on-line master) • E-training – focus on ADL • Life Long Learning – short professional courses • Individual and team tailored courses
Steps in development • Learning about e-learning • Set-up the project master plan • Development of project – technical capabilities • Development of project – educational capabilities • Human resources capabilities development
Lessons learned • Keep in mind: eLearning has 90% educational objectives and only 10% technology • Attract the students, the teachers will join • No more words about eLearning, demonstrate by results • For the beginning, the short useful courses bring the good results • More freedom in learning progress for the students • Create the motivation for the students - give them a recognition of course • The “brand” of institutions improves the value of course (in our case the NDC) • Deliver the tutoring support. The students appreciate it and they feel inside the learning environment. • No more than 20-30 students /tutor. We started with 50 and now we work with ….80
