Introduction to the Functionality of Moodle Blended Learning (BL) Approaches & Transfer

The “Blended Learning (BL) Approaches & Transfer” training is designed for TVET personnel, specifically trainers who share a commitment as educators to improve the quality of education by using digital technologies to produce teaching materials that correspond to the current learning trends. This training is one of many activities that GIZ- STEP II are conducting to strengthen and support selected TVET col-leges in Ethiopia in improving the quality of teacher education at national and regional institutes in the field of digital learning. 

The main objective of this course is to equip trainers from ETU and satellite colleges with relevant knowledge, skills and attitudes to enhance current TTLM training by blended learning approaches in selected vocational fields.

At the end of the course, participants should be able to:

•          Know about Blended Learning: the convergence of online and face-to-face      education

•          Create/manage courses and students on the ETU Moodle platform

•          Facilitate a Virtual Classroom

•       Identify relevant vocations or pilot occupations which are suitable for blended learning training formats

•          Apply pedagogical underpinnings and theories in designing digital content

•       Produce e-content that does not violate copyright issues by using royalty-free images,    videos, audio etc., and selecting open-education resources (OER)

•          Evaluate online teaching and learning materials via the help of rubrics


MEC163 Measurements I

This course is to be understood as an auxiliary unit for the “Preparatory Workshop – MEC111”, yet it also offers content which goes beyond what is required in MEC111. The course deals with the basic theoretical and practical fundamentals of international systems in measuring techniques for lengths, angles and threads. Basic tools required for reliable measurements of these aspects are applied. Additionally trainees will compare dimensions and focus on the origin of measurement errors and how to avoid them.

A principle objective of this course is to develop awareness for accuracy and provide criteria for the assessment of measurement quality.
