Sloop2desc: Sharing Learning Objects in an Open Perspective to Develop European Skills and Competences

The project has transferred and extended the results of the former project “SLOOP: Sharing Learning Objects in an Open Perspective”.In both the SLOOP and the SLOOP2DESC projects, the focus was on the promotion of innovative e-learning strategies amongst teachers, and on the development and sharing of Open Educational Resources by a community of teachers; furthermore, a specific objective of the SLOOPO2DESC project was to support teachers in Vocational Education and Training (VET) to increase their knowledge and understanding of new educational systems that are based on learning outcomes and competencies. Specifically, the project referred to the European Qualification Framework (EQF), the reference framework adopted by the EU Parliament and Council in April 2008 to establish general criteria for comparing qualification and competencies systems developed and/or adopted in EU countries.Actually, since EQF is a competencies-based system, there is a crucial need for VET teachers to further their understanding of the evaluation systems that companies are using ever more frequently to select young people when they complete their high school studies. In SLOOP2Desc, VET teachers have developed pedagogical competencies to be applied in educational activities that take new evaluation systems into consideration. In addition, the project has led teachers to greater “involvement in the drawing up of study programs”. Finally, SLOOP2desc has “improved the links between education and training professionals and the world of work”.
