Within the Euro Apprenticeship network - European network of more than three hundred organizations in Europe , reflections and experiments are being conducted to improve learning courses of short duration mobility quality and provide a virtual alternative to those who do can not leave. In this sense, virtual mobility , defined as all ICT activities to support, facilitate or carry out experiments of international collaboration in the context of teaching and / or learning - has been identified as a valuable tool for members network . Successfully tested in the framework of the Euro-DIM project (2011 -1- FR1- LEO05 - 24448 ), virtual mobility has shown that it can really bring a European dimension to the training systems in Learning . It gives everyone the opportunity to live the experiences of European collaboration with people from different cultures and to enrich their intercultural competence , language and digital , regardless of geographic location, financial or personal situation. Integrated or not in a draft physical mobility , it helps to internationalize courses and provides open and flexible learning process. In addition, under the Erasmus program + , it is an economical alternative to linguistic and cultural preparation apprentices whose length of stay is usually less than four weeks. Virtual mobility represents a real opportunity to promote mobility for learning purposes, and increasing European cooperation for new practices and innovative teaching methods . Yet , to date , it is still untapped in the area of Learning. On the occasion of Peer -learning Virtual Mobility, the EuroApprenticeship network has gathered about thirty structures from different European countries to determine the conditions necessary for the development of virtual mobility . These exchange events helped define the three objectives of the project eMovA : 1- Provide instructional sequences virtualized Be defined by sequence , a series of meetings, organized around one or more activities to experience international collaboration in teaching and / or learning context. These sequences will be available online and directly integrate ICT tools needed to achieve them . The device will be open to sharing new sequences created directly by users. 2 - Assisting in the use of ICT Today , ICTs are ubiquitous in life, to entertain, communicate, work ... However, their educational use is still limited despite the opportunities they offer. To change practices and facilitate educational appropriation of ICTs, the project eMovA offer video tutorials designed to show and explain the potential and pedagogical use of ICT for virtual mobility. 3 - Create a virtual information space and development sector specific relationship Learning This space dedicated to mobility of virtual mobility will: - Firstly , to facilitate international collaborations also incorporating players workplace, - And secondly , to adapt the offer virtual mobility inherent constraints of Learning training (sandwich courses, language levels , employee status ... ) . EMovA The project will therefore aim to address these three needs through the development of tools and adequate resources . Besides the development of virtual mobility in the sector of Learning outcomes eMova project will: - Professional development actors in ICT training methodologies , - Dissemination of open educational resources in various European languages, - Improving the quality of training in learning by providing a European dimension and promote the adoption of innovative teaching practices , - And international cooperation between players in vocational training.
eMovA project-Virtual Mobility for Apprenticeship, is the result of a reflection within the European network, Euroapprenticeship, to improve the efficiency of short-term mobility internship and offer a virtual alternative to those who cannot leave. To develop virtual mobility in Apprenticeship training, the eMovA project partners, eight in number, including five types of organizations (vocational training centers, craft chambers of commerce, public bodies, European foundation, SME organization) in five European countries (France, Belgium, Germany, Slovenia and Portugal) have worked closely on the following three objectives: Objective 1: To provide ready-to-use teaching materials to facilitate virtual mobility actions. Objective 2: To accompany the actors of vocational training by sharing open and innovative practices in digital era Objective 3: To create a virtual space on Euroapprenticeship plateform in order to inform the users about virtual mobility and explain how to use or contribute in eMovA products. To reach these three objectives, three intellectual outputs - one per objective - have been made by the partners. Thus, O1 / eMovA-activities makes available to trainers/teachers or mobility referents, 20 ready-to-use learning sequences to facilitate virtual mobility actions. Access O1: http://moodle.euroapprenticeship.eu/ O2 / eMovA-videos, via its video channel on Youtube, helps the trainers/teachers in the implementation of virtual mobility with digital tools, through concrete examples realized in class. O2 Access: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyqvS2bpjijKWcud03SuZdA O3 / eMovA-space offers a virtual information and linking space on virtual mobility, specific for Apprenticeship. Access O3: http://www.euroapprenticeship.eu/en/the-mobilite-virtuelle.html In addition to the development of virtual mobility for the Apprenticeship, several impacts and benefits in the short, medium and long term were identified at the end of the project, in particular: - the professional development of the trainers on ICT methodologies, - the development of hard skills (linguistic, numerical ...) and soft skills (teamwork, communication, etc.) by the beneficiaries, - the appropriation of the benefits of virtual mobility by the companies, - the dissemination of open educational resources (OER) in various European languages, - the improvement of the learning quality by providing a European dimension and encouraging the adoption of innovative pedagogical practices, - the appetite of target audiences for virtual and physical mobility, - the increase of international cooperation between the actors of vocational training, - the increase of national and international cross-sectoral cooperation between the economic, political and educational actors of the European territories.
