The objective is to create a learning ecosystem that breaks the physical barriers of VET laboratories through remote control. The goal is not merely to create software, but to transform the traditional workshop into a hybrid and shared resource. The specific objectives are: To develop a technical infrastructure (WMS) that allows students to practice with real equipment (PLCs, robotics) from anywhere, ensuring that practical learning does not depend on physical presence or the center's opening hours. To implement a methodology based on time vouchers integrated into SCORM packages. This allows teachers to link theoretical progress with real access to the equipment, gamifying and automating workshop management. To create a network of interconnected resources where any student has access to operate a technical workshop, promoting the internationalization of VET. To build a cyber-secure digital environment (Docker/SSL) documented under professional development standards (GitHub), ensuring that the tool is scalable and transferable to other centers after the grant period. To provide teachers with pedagogical tools.
The VETWORC project arises from the need to consolidate and professionalize distance learning solutions. The needs it addresses are: DEVELOPMENT OF TEACHING RESOURCES Moving from the personal initiative of teachers to a network of centers with shared technology, guaranteeing secure access and a proven teaching methodology for remote practical training. SECURITY IN ACCESSIBILITY Solving the critical problem of allowing students to enter a center's local network to manipulate equipment. This involves creating specific communication protocols and a web interface that manages the use of the infrastructure without compromising security. GAP BETWEEN THE LABOR AND ACADEMIC ENVIRONMENTS Addressing the lack of qualified personnel in industrial sectors through the use of technological resources that directly connect training with the reality of companies. INCLUSION Facilitating access to technical training for young people and adults with family burdens or low resources who cannot travel, as well as for people with reduced mobility. Remote workshops eliminate physical barriers, allowing any student to access high-level industrial equipment from their own environment.
