El País Vasco apuesta por la denominada "e-formación"
26 Noviembre 2002
El Gobierno de la Comunidad Autónoma del País Vasco ha desarrollado el denominado Plan Euskadi en la Sociedad de la Información.
Se trata de un plan que pretende, como objetivo principal, adaptar la sociedad vasca a la nueva era digital, favoreciendo el cambio cultural y poniendo las nuevas tecnologías al servicio de todas las personas, para lograr una mayor calidad de vida y equilibrio social y la generación de valor y riqueza.
El Plan se desarrolla en diversos ámbitos: Internet para todos, empresa digital, administración en línea, Euskadi en la red, e-formación, e-salud, contenidos, infraestructuras, tecnología y normativa. El capítulo de e-formación participa de muchos de los conceptos y características relativas a e-learning.
El Plan de e-formación se dirige a todos los ciudadanos en general, ya que no sólo se trata de potenciar el sistema educativo aprovechando convenientemente las nuevas tecnologías, sino que se pretende ofrecer una amplia gama de oferta formativa a lo largo de la vida de las personas.
Los programas que se llevan a cabo en el País Vasco para fomentar la e-formación buscan, en primer lugar, garantizar unos mínimos en cuanto a infraestructuras y equipos de Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación (TIC) para todos los centros educativos de la Red Pública y profesores de dichos centros, objetivo que se espera alcanzar en el año 2003. Asimismo, se prevé crear en cada centro educativo la figura del llamado "Dinamizador de las Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación"; encargado de sensibilizar, iniciar, formar e informar en materia de nuevas tecnologías al alumnado y al profesorado para un óptimo desarrollo.
Otros temas relacionados se refieren a la creación de un portal sobre temas de consumo y medio ambiente, al desarrollo de un Campus Virtual para la Universidad del País Vasco, a la promoción de contenidos formativos en la red o al desarrollo de una red de aprendizaje basada en el uso de las nuevas tecnologías.
Los datos indican que el conjunto de esfuerzos incluidos en el Plan Euskadi en la Sociedad de la Información empieza a dar sus frutos. Por ejemplo, gracias al programa Konekta Zaitez Kzgunea, los centros de formación del ciudadano para nuevas tecnologías e Internet han permitido formar a un total de 21.000 ciudadanos vascos en los 89 centros abiertos en 77 municipios de la Comunidad Autónoma. Del total de personas formadas en los 2.600 cursos, el 72 por ciento está formado por mujeres, el 67 por ciento es mayor de 35 años y, de ellos, el 12 por ciento, mayor de 65 años.

ADAPT@
25 Noviembre 2002
The Adapt@ project hopes to ameliorate the gender inequality within the workplace.
The entrepreneurial network undergoes changing and adaptation processes. Technical,social and organizational advances influence to Human Resources and the surviving ability of companies in an increasingly competitive environment. These changes produce imbalances between the companies needs of Human Resources and their real capacities. The setting of adaptation mechanisms is a key element in order to avoid loss of competitiveness and unemployment. An analyse of socio-economic network in Alava offers us a conclusions: Non-adaptation of companies due to NTICs incorporation Companies most vulnerable to a loss of competitiveness are out of adaptation processes Human Resources affected by unemployment have difficulties to access to training processes Difficulty in the access to basic training Obsolescence of knowledge and lack of polyvalence Coexistence of unemployment rates (women, youngsters, workers <45) with vacant jobs due to lack of professionals.
The ADAPT@ project develops new approaches based on active promotion of permanent adaptation strategies to socioeconomic changes promotion of communication systems among companies and vocational training development of learning methods more accessible, thus enabling the transfer of knowledge to real working situations integration of new qualifications demanded by companies ADAPT@ project promotes a device; RESOURCES CENTRE FOR SPREADING AND ADAPTATION TO THE NTIC with a functional distribution of its activities by means of constitution of three areas: Research and Information Processing Area Prospective Centre will analyse all the changing factors in a continuous way, especially the NTIC affecting the entrepreneurial network in Alava from two points of view: Analysis of changing factors affecting the workers Analysis of the changing factors affecting the companies, from a: Sector context Context of new tendencies in management and organisation Change Development and Managing Area High Performance Training System for the Workers' Adaptation JOBROTATION Centre of Shared Services for Companies with the following services Telecommunication Advanced services; in two fields Development of training programs in NTIC Creation of a Centre of NTIC Demonstration showing the degree of incidence of the NTIC in the entrepreneurial rates Advanced Services in New Company Management Ways BENCHMARKING, strategic alliances, knowledge management, quality systems Creation of an Adjustment and Imbalance System for the Training Systems and Labour Intermediation Support, Communication, Sensitising, Survey and Evaluation Area Its function is making easier the development of the project in its execution environments (companies, active population, training systems, etc.).

Innovative technologies for learning
29 Noviembre 2002
Information and communication technologies are changing dramatically the way in which individuals live and work and organisations operate, creating the basis for the information society in which we live today. There is also a shift towards a more ambitious concept: the knowledge society.
Learning as the premises for knowledge and particularly Technology Enhanced Learning (e-learning) is recognised as essential to this transition and will soon become its engine. It is an enabling application area with a strong potential impact on the continuous education and training of individuals, on the quality of life and the competitiveness of European industry and will play a fundamental role in ensuring that the all-pervasive, and sometimes overwhelming amount of information available nowadays, is converted into relevant knowledge for the benefit of Europe's citizens and organisations.
Besides, e-learning is an emerging market sector in its own right which is going to be prominent in the upcoming years according to all forecasts. The outstanding quality of education and training systems in Europe, coupled with innovative and constantly improving application of information and knowledge technologies will ensure Europe's readiness to meet the growing demand for lifelong learning and to become a key player in this market.
The main application areas for e-learning technologies are:
Learning at schools
Technology Enhanced Learning is seen as an important vehicle to provide pupils and children with knowledge and skills necessary to make them active citizens of the information society. Even more, e-learning has a great potential to supplement the traditional acquisition of information about facts and techniques, providing new opportunities to explore higher level cognitive activities such as autonomy, creativity, problem solving and team work.
Learning at universities
Universities are using e-learning solutions as a source of added value for their students, improving off-campus, flexible, virtual learning through web-based resources, including continuous education. In order to respond to the changing education market, universities are entering into strategic partnerships and adopting new business models.
Learning at work
In the work place, greater emphasis is being placed on flexible, just-in-time education and training, empowering workers and providing the necessary skills and competence for rapidly changing business needs.
Lifelong learning and learning at home
Technology Enhanced Learning is considered an important enabler for adult education and e-inclusion, acknowledging the importance of informal and non-formal learning. New opportunities appear as the technology becomes a facilitator for sharing resources, creating communities of learning and communities of practice.
Research on learning technologies Funded by the European Commission
The European Commission has launched a number of action plans and other initiatives in order to create a critical mass of "resources" able to support, guide and stimulate research, technological development and innovation in education and training. ICT enabled education and training has long been a priority within the Framework Programmes for Research and Development. 300 research projects have been funded since 1988 through research on e-learning technologies funded by the European Commission, and a considerable amount of European expertise and know-how has been built up. Results are both new services, systems and standards, and networks of schools, research labs and other organisations involved in education and training.
International co-operation
The Education and Training Applications unit of the Information Society
Directorate-General, jointly with the Research Directorate-General, has been actively pursuing international co-operation. This has resulted in the exchange of speakers and experts and in the participation from a number of countries outside Europe in the IST projects, from North America, Australia and from Central and Eastern European countries. International co-operation is seen as a way of ensuring relevance and up-to-dateness of activities and is thus a clear win-win initiative.
More than 70 institutions from non-EU countries are participating in the IST education and training research activities, forming about 10% of the total of participants.
The IST programme also actively supports international initiatives such as EUMEDIS for the development of the Euro-Mediterranean information society or @lis , a programme aiming to reinforce partnership between the European Union and Latin America in the field of the information society.

Bildungsinitiative Networking: das Cisco Networking Academy Program in Deutschland
17 Enero 2003
Mit einem in mittlerweile 148 Ländern erprobten Bildungskonzept fördert Cisco Systems, weltweit führender Anbieter von Networking-Lösungen für das Internet, in Zusammenarbeit mit den Kultusministerien die praktische Qualifizierung der IT-Fachkräfte von morgen. Mit der Bildungsinitiative Networking können sich Schüler und Studenten in einem viersemestrigen Zusatzkurs zu zertifizierten Netzwerk-Spezialisten ausbilden lassen und so ihre Berufschancen entscheidend verbessern. Das Programm startete 1997 in den USA und wurde 1999 auch in Deutschland 13 Schulen in Hessen etabliert. Mittlerweile haben sich schon zwölf deutsche Bundesländer der Bildungsinitiative Networking angeschlossen, mit weiteren wird derzeit verhandelt.
Weltweit zählt die Bildungsinitiative Networking bereits über 10.000 Akademien und aktuell 286.000 Studenten. Ueber 4.000.000 Teilnehmer haben in 148 Ländern das Programm bereits erfolgreich absolviert und das international anerkannte Zertifikat "Cisco Certified Networking Associate" (CCNA) erworben. In Deutschland haben über 12.000 Schüler und Studenten an 265 Akademien die Spezialausbildung begonnen, 2.000 Absolventen markieren den Erfolg der Bildungsinitiative. Unterrichtet werden sie von fast 750 Lehrkräfte.
Für die didaktisch aufbereitete Methodik der Qualifizierung kann Cisco Systems auf sein bewährtes internationales Cisco Networking Academy Program (CNAP) zurückgreifen. Dieses Lehrprogramm wurde 1997 in den USA ins Leben gerufen und trägt in Deutschland den Namen Bildungsinitiative Networking. Es ist Teil der D21-Initiative der deutschen Wirtschaft und der Bundesregierung. Junge Leute sollen schon frühzeitig im Umgang mit Computern und Netzwerken für die nächste Generation der Internettechnologien systematisch geschult werden. Noch hat jede zweite IT-Fachkraft in Deutschland keine umfassende Ausbildung, sondern ihre Kenntnisse im Rahmen ihrer beruflichen Tätigkeit erworben. Das Programm richtet sich an Auszubildende in IT-Berufen wie IT-Kaufleute, Elektro- und Nachrichtentechniker sowie Schüler allgemeinbildender Schulen und Studenten angeschlossener Hochschulen.
Teilnehmende berufsbildende oder allgemeinbildende Schulen sowie Hochschulen werden zu Sonderkonditionen von Cisco Systems mit einem professionellen Computer Labor ausgestattet, das zum praktischen Unterricht der Netzwerktechnik befähigt. Lehrer können sich durch die Zusammenarbeit von Cisco Systems und den Kultusministerien der Bundesländer in speziellen Trainingskursen zunächst zu Cisco Certified Networking Associates (CCNA) und in der nächsten Fortbildungsstufe zu Cisco Certified Academy Instructors (CCAI) schulen lassen, um sich für die Vermittlung der Netzwerktechnik praxisnah zu qualifizieren. Cisco Systems stellt auch die Lehrmaterialien für die Vermittlung der IT-Ausbildung zur Verfügung.
Die Programmteilnehmer lernen Aufbau, Wartung und Management von Computernetzwerken in Theorie und Praxis kennen. Weitere Lernziele sind die Planung von Rechnernetzen sowie das Orten und Beheben von Fehlern in der Netzinfrastruktur. Dabei spielt neben dem klassischen Unterricht und praktischen Einheiten das E-Learning eine wichtige Rolle.
Gelernt wird mit einem multimedialen Lehrplan, dem sogenannten Curriculum, der durch Unterweisung am Computer und web-basierte Trainingseinheiten ergänzt wird. Das Lernen über das Internet hat eine Reihe von Vorteilen: die Lernenden haben bessere Zugriffsmöglichkeiten auf das Material, können Lernrhythmus und -umfang selbst bestimmen und in der Schule oder zu Hause lernen. E-Learning trägt viel dazu bei, dass das Programm bei Schülern und Studenten beliebt ist. Schließlich ist unbestritten einer der revolutionärsten und sicher auch schülerfreundlichsten Bestandteile von E-Learning, dass nicht mehr der Lehrende im Zentrum der Wissensvermittlung steht sondern der Lernende selbst.
Jedes der vier Semester behandelt einen anderen Themenschwerpunkt: Am Anfang steht die Einführung in die Grundlagen von Netzen, im zweiten Semester werden Router und Netzwerkkomponenten behandelt, gefolgt von Umgang mit LAN, Novell IPX und WAN im dritten Halbjahr. Abschließend erfahren die Teilnehmer alles rund um das Thema Netzprotokolle und ISDN. Voraussetzung für das multimediale Programm sind neben technischem Verständnis vor allem Englischkenntnisse, da die Unterrichtsmaterialien in englischer Sprache verfasst sind. Am Ende der Ausbildung steht nach einem Test das international anerkannte Zertifikat "Cisco Certified Networking Associate" (CCNA). Für die Teilnehmer ist dies eine wichtige Zusatzqualifikation für den Berufseinstieg.

On-line edutainment for children
20 Noviembre 2002
Four SMEs will set up a platform for the creation, localisation and commercialisation of multilingual on-line content for children.
As well as creating content, off-line legacy content (digital and non-digital) will be reused. The content will be multi-level, so that it can be exploited within one framework but also as individual content entities. By using state-of-the-art technology for the on-line clearing of copyright (using a B2B site for on-line licensing) and multiple and flexible commercial models, the project will enable the commercialisation of content, also for emerging platforms such as interactive television and mobile broadband. In order to obtain concrete results, the project will focus on content on one specific subject: Nature. The content will be centred around one character (Oscar the Balloonist). The content will be localised for different European regions and languages. Pilot projects in which the content is exploited in an economically viable way will be set up during the project.
As a result of the project, the companies will form a consortium that will act as a high-quality European Content Service Provider, proving that the creation and exploitation of quality content can be done by European SMEs.
