The e-MOTIVE project is born after a previous experience of cooperation among higher VET schools located in Spain. That experience, named as Intercentros, consisted of the joint design and evaluation by VET teachers of a challenge/activity to be solved by VET students from different higher VET schools (located in different provinces). This way, students working in groups mostly on-line had to solve that challenge, developing different digital and transversal skills (on-line work, communication, teamwork, organization...). This working methodology has been applied in different areas (mechanical design, ICT, mechanical manufacturing) as a simulation of a real work situation and has been so successful along time, that the e-MOTIVE partners decided to add the variable internationalization to enrich it, as most of companies work nowadays in an international context.The e-MOTIVE project is perfectly aligned with the priorities of ERASMUS+, as it contributed to the achievement of the following objectives:- Development of transferable competences of higher VET students and teachers.- Promote blended mobility of higher education students and teachers.- Enforce content and language integrated learning in higher education.- Facilitate the comparison and equivalence of different education systems across Europe.During the first half of the project, the partners defined a cooperation methodology, based on the previous experience of Intercentros, to be applied by higher VET teachers and higher VET students. On the basis of this methodology, partners also developed a manual to be applied specifically in the provision of the course “mechanical manufacturing design”. The methodology and the manual gather all the aspects needed to guarantee an efficient cooperation among higher VET teachers and students: how to form the working groups, definition of roles, competences to be developed, evaluation tools, working calendar or communication among students taking into consideration their geographical distance and the use of a non native language for their communication.In each of the higher VET schools involved in the project (3 in total), a group of students was selected (13 students in total) within those of the last course of the specialty of mechanical manufacturing design. Students, from 3 centers located in 2 different countries, needed to work together (in a blended mobility way) to solve a challenge proposed and agreed by their teachers, the design of a wind turbine.Prior to their cooperation, students received training in the PBL methodology, intercultural communication and the necessary ICT tools for distance communication and virtual work. This training involved the mobility of the students from Spain to Italy so they got to know each other before starting to cooperate and they received this training together. Italian students also took part in a mobility learning activity in Spain, where they and the Spanish students presented the results of the challenge solved through virtual cooperation.In parallel with these activities, the e-MOTIVE partners also worked to create the e-MOTIVE matrix to provide standardized and comparable information on higher VET courses. This matrix gathers information about learning outcomes and competences (technical and transferable) for different specialties in different higher VET centers across Europe, to make cooperation and exchange of resources easier among them.The project has had an important impact on the partners and the participants in the project. Both teachers and students have increased their English skills, their ability to work in an international team, their digital competences for virtual work and their ability to readapt the organization of their work, combining different systems and ways of organization. Besides, partner organizations and everyone involved increased the knowledge and expertise in the use of EU transparency tools. The intellectual outputs developed during e-MOTIVE had and/or are having an impact also in other schools not directly participating in e-MOTIVE. That is the case of all the schools which contributed to provide information about their higher VET programmes for the e-MOTIVE matrix. In most of the cases these schools were not familiar with EU transparency tools or the use of learning outcomes to describe higher VET contents. With their cooperation in the project gained higher awareness and knowledge in this regard.As for the long term, we started e-MOTIVE as a pilot experience to incorporate internationalization in higher VET programmes, This way, next academic year we will have 2 e-MOTIVE spin off projects:-e-MOTIVE design: in the area of mechanical design-e-MOTIVE SHARE: in the area of ICTIn these new editions, it is foreseen the participation of 24 students and 6 teachers. e-MOTIVE was developed to stay and in the next years is our intention to extend this cooperation methodology to other higher VET areas and schools.
