In the last years, education and VET systems have often been depicted negatively, with high level of early school leaving rates, poor attractiveness of vocational education and training, reduced appeal for educational professions, very low levels of digital skills even among young people, and mismatch, even in this sector, between the education and training provided and the requests of the labour market. In such a framework, MoLVET aimed at innovating the pedagogical approaches adopted in Vet centres by means of technologies and digital devices, tools and applications. In MoLVET, technology represented an opportunity to implement more learner-centred approaches, promoting inquiry-based learning, participative learning, learning-by-doing, problem solving and creativity. The aim was to put the learners at the centre of the learning process, following their own pace, giving them the opportunity to create, use and share resources whenever and wherever they needed, enhancing their engagement and motivation, even having fun.MoLVET involved 9 partners in 5 countries, combining different expertise and competences: - Scuola Centrale Formazione (national network of VET providers), with 2 of its 45 members in Italy: Civiform and Fondazione Opera Montegrappa-Galician Regional Government-DEXFPIE, with 1 school: CIFP A Farixa (Spain)-Innovative Educators Association (national) and 2 Technical and Vocational High Schools in Turkey: TÇMB and ZHT -Coleg Cambria (UK), public further education institute-Fondation Auteuil-Lycée Victorine Magne (France), private VET provider-Bicocca University (Italy)-FORMATECH (Italy), TECH company.351 leaners and 55 teachers/trainers directly involved in the development and implementation of new multidisciplinary learning units (more than 13000 training hours delivered). As a result of learning processes and activities, learners produced a variety of digital outputs (03), and in particular: - France: a set of 8 video, in English, on cooking and service;- Spain: 10 quizzes (each one composed, on average, of 10 questions) on Entrepreneurship using Kahoot to play alone or in a group;- Italy: a video subtitled in English on the Prosecco Land; an eBook on facial massage, a mind-map (both in Italian and English) on main printing processes, with videos subtitled in English accessible through QRCodes and Aurasma; an eBook as well as an instruction booklet, both subtitled in English, about how to install a domotic system;- UK and Turkey: homework made by students (on Construction Joinery & Brickwork in the UK and on ICT in Turkey), using videos, uploaded on YouTube and send to teachers through QRCodes;- Turkey: 2 videos in Turkish describing electric circuits; a video (in Turkish) presenting the school.Learners were young people aged 15-32, attending formal training and education programmes, some of them belonging to groups with high level of educational difficulties (like migrants, people with learning disabilities, dropout from mainstreaming education).1312 more learners and 337 teachers were involved in the events and showcases of information, and dissemination organized by their colleagues, to share the knowledge and experiences gained thanks to MoLVET.The outputs of the project included a model enabling users to design and plan the learning units, available in English (O2), with examples of the units tested by partners (the shortest being of 24 hours and the longest of 80 hours). O2 also contains a list of useful APPs utilized by partners during their activities with the learners (to create maps, quizzes, videos, researches, QRCodes; to manage the classroom, for evaluation; etc.). MoLVET partners developed plans for further activities to be implemented in the future.A Guidebook on mobile learning (O1) was also elaborated and made available in English, French, Italian, Spanish and Turkish. O1 includes:- A literature review of the research developed so far on the use of ICT in education, underlining which pedagogical strategies with ICTs and mobile devices particularly encourage more learner-centred approaches;- MoLVET partners’ experiences described and analysed in the light of the main results of the literature review;- A set of practical instructions guiding and supporting those involved in the task of “digitalize” education and VET. Questionnaires are also proposed, to investigate learners’ and staff’s inclination on ICTs as well as staff’s inclination to more interactive and constructivist learning approaches.All MoLVET outputs are freely accessible at http://molvet.formatech.biz. A promotional card and a link to the project Facebook page are also available.During MoLVET meetings, open and success days, demonstrations, show cases and conferences were organised, thus connecting about 2531 people in partners’ countries and more through radio and TV broadcastings. MoLVET final conference was included in the European Vocational Skills Week 2016.
