The COVID DIGITAL 2020 project is based on two priorities: the first, to support the adoption of innovative approaches and digital technologies for teaching and learning and the second, to improve the quality of the VET offer, through the establishment of feedback channels to adapt the vocational training offer. Due to the pandemic situation that we are experiencing in Europe in such an extraordinary way since March 2020, we have planned to carry out a project whose main objectives are: O1. Analyze and study the influence of the coronavirus from the beginning of the same to the moment of initiation of the project in each of the countries to which the partners belong. O2. Analyze and study the influence of the coronavirus from the beginning of the same to the moment the project begins in each of the cities where the centers are located. O3. Analyze and study the common denominators regarding the digital platforms used in each of the centers that are part of the association and the response given by each of them. O4. Analyze the resources (anti-covid) available in the different centers, taking into account the capacity of their digital tools and the connectivity of the students of each center O5. Prepare a resource bank for possible distance training in case of quarantines. For the elaboration of this project, the association that includes four educational centers is formed: CENTRO INTEGRADO DE FORMACIÓN PROFESSIONAL A XUNQUEIRA, IES Frei Martin Sarmiento, COOPETAPE, Cooperativa de Ensino CRL, Stredni skola polytechnicka, Olomouc, Rooseveltova 79, which have extensive experience in the management and execution of different European projects. At the time of carrying out the activities, four transnational meetings will be held in which a series of activities are designed, which are summarized below: Coordinate Brainstorming Conduct surveys Analysis of the surveys carried out. Prepare teaching material Review of the didactic material produced. Coordinate resource bank. Coordinate teacher training tasks Analysis of general results of the project. Presentation of the resource bank. Proposal for future lines of action Starting from the objectives set in this project, the idea is to measure the success of the results, for this we establish a pattern or methodology in which the activities will serve as a backbone between objectives and results, that is, we start from an objective O1 in which by carrying out activities A1.1, A1.2, A1.3 and A1.4 lead us to the result R1 and so on for all objectives. Regarding the results, we hope to carry out: R1. Curriculum review and adaptation of activities proposed in the schedules due to the different scenarios contemplated in the project description and the update of the existing situation in the labor market. R2. Adapt the curriculum to the new needs of the production system due to the impact of the pandemic, with the support of companies around the participating centers. R3.1 Teacher training in the different digital tools useful for distance training: moodle, webex, google drive, classroom, free office, etc. R3.2. Achieve digital literacy for the largest possible number of teachers and students at different educational levels. R4. Avoid digital disconnection of students R5. Presentation of the didactic material for modules common to the different centers. With this project, it is expected that both the participating organizations, teachers from the different centers, a group of students and companies in the sector will experience a change in training and at the time of incorporation into the labor market of students whose results will be reflected in the near future . What is intended with this project is that no one, neither teachers nor students, is left disconnected in case of quarantine or confinement due to the virus; Thus, the intended impact at the local, regional and even national level is that the largest possible number of centers can make use of the digital resources generated during the project and at the same time access the resource bank prepared.
The association formed by CIFP A Xunqueira, COOPETAPE Cooperativa de Ensino CRL, IES Frei Martín Sarmiento, Střední škola polytechnická, Olomouc, consider that these priorities are the ones that are closest to the objectives set when undertaking the project: O1. Analyze and study the influence of the coronavirus from the beginning of it until the start of the project in each of the countries to which the partners belong. O2. Analyze and study the influence of the coronavirus from the start of it until the start of the project in each of the cities where the centers are located. O3. Analyze and study the common denominators regarding the digital platforms used in each of the centers that are part of the association and the response given by each of them. O4. Analyze the resources (anti covid) available in the different centers taking into account the capacity of their digital tools and connectivity of the students of each center O5. Develop a resource bank for possible distance training in the event of quarantines.
Given the situation of the Covid-19 pandemic that has been experienced since March 2020 and due to the difficulties that arose when teaching in the third quarter of the 2019-20 academic year, it is proposed to study the different scenarios that may arise in the next courses, normal teaching conditions, a small number of students remain at home, a significant number of students at home and total confinement. This association, based on the approach of the European digital action plan that seeks high quality and inclusive digital education and training and with the 11 actions grouped around the three priorities: P1: make better use of digital technology for teaching and learning, P2: develop digital skills and capabilities P3: improve education thanks to a better analysis of the data and forecasts) of said plan. A series of objectives has been set, such as: improving the quality and supply of vocational training education supported by new innovative approaches based on information and communication technologies and online learning, in addition to establishing and promoting channels that provide feedback and update the needs of the labor market.
