Striving for better technology education for VET students

The main objective of the project is the dissemination of knowledge to the students, professors and other enthusiasts in the field of new trending technologies of CAD modeling, 3d printing, and Virtual reality. The special focus is on the target audience of technical school, vocational industrial school.

The main idea of the project is the development, design, and transfer of the innovative specialized skills and tools used in the fields of additive technologies, robotics and virtual reality into the vocational education sector through the development of specialized education modules.

Implementing blended learning, in other words coupling online self-paced learning with practical offline training" would greatly facilitate the acquisition of new knowledge and skills in fast-paced technologies and would, thus, be a benefit to teachers, learners, and other interested users. The expectations of the project users are focused on the rapid acquisition of skills and knowledge in order to make the acquired knowledge relevant and in line with new trends in the industry. Special attention will be paid to designing suitable materials for blind and visually impaired people as well as people with physical disabilities. The universality of application would easily ensure the exchange of expertise, experience and good practice with partner organizations in Croatia and abroad. This project will create a prototype learning system, that can evolve rapidly, to suit the needs of fast-paced technological improvements, and ensure the expertise is rapidly provided to future generations of VET learners in Croatia and abroad.
