"<< Background >>As stated in the application the COVID-19 crisis has greatly accelerated the need for modernisation and digital transformation of education and training in Europe. It has urgent needs to reinforce the ability of education and training institutions to provide high quality, inclusive digital education. COVID crisis clearly shows necessity of building capacity to implement online, blended and distance teaching and learning; to develop digital pedagogical competences of educators, enabling them to deliver high quality inclusive digital education; and to develop and/or use high quality digital content such as innovative online resources and tools. The partnerships will promote networking of institutions across the EU, sharing of resources and expertise, and collaboration with digital technology providers and experts in educational technologies and relevant pedagogical practice, to develop tailor made solutions adapted to local development needs. Attention should be particularly focused on the development of digital skills, because they not only contribute to new business creation but also to the employability of young people. Investment in education and training for skills development is essential to boost growth and competitiveness.<< Objectives >>The objectives of the project:VET: Contributing to innovation in vocational education and trainingHORIZONTAL: Addressing digital transformation through development of digital readiness, resilience and capacityThe topics addressed by the project:- Digital skills and competences- Green transport and mobilityThe original overall goals of the project as stated in the application:- Development of a book of best practice in virtual, blended and hybrid learning (including mobility). The book of bestpractice will also include a proof of concept for further development after the end of the project- Raise the attractiveness of Vocational Educational and Training through digital innovation- Improve the cooperation between the learning venues in dual VET systems, especially schools and companies throughdigital facilities- Enabling sustainable mobility experiences that provide unique learning experiences through digital capacity- Involving all relevant actors like students, VET teachers, VET trainers (staff in companies), chambers as well as extracurricular staff constantly and in real time through Learning-Management-Systems (LMS)<< Implementation >>We had 3 main activities planed in this project:1. Planning, Preparation and Management 2. Implementation3. Follow-up and and disseminationAll activities were implemented in the project period.We have the following deliverables under the three activities:- 1 Detailed work plan (Activity 1)- 1 press release in each country (Activity 1)- 1 Kick-off meeting (Activity 1)- 1 book of best practice in virtual, blended and hybrid learning (including mobility) with desk study of the current state of affairs in virtual, blended and hybrid learning (including mobility) (Activity 2)- 2 Partner meeting (with an hybrid format) (Activity 2)- 1 Monitoring and Evaluation Plan (Activity 3)- 1 Dissemination Plan including guidelines for social media (Activity 3)- 1 Project web-page (Activity 3)- 1 Summative evaluation report (Activity 3)All deliverables were implemented and delivered in the project period.<< Results >>As stated in the application the main results of the project was a Book of best practice in virtual, blended and hybrid learning and a Desk study of the current state of affairs. And all objective of project was meet though the main results of this project - ""Book of best practices - Research approaches, analyses and considerations regarding virtual, hybrid and blended learning environments and mobilities"" as it adresses all of the priorities and topics of this project. And as mentioned in the section above All deliverables were implemented and delivered in the project period.Especially the novel and innovative analysis approach of the collected cases of virtual, blended and hybrid learning is valuable for the participating organisations, and the SAMR analytical approach is very useable in our organisations day to day work whether this is the pedagogical research do by Rostock University or the IT pedagogical development work do at YHS or CELF because it is model that can be used in the assessing the consequences of the introduction af new ICT tools in our education and research."
