1. Introduction Under TEAVET project WP2, Albanian universities will design LLL courses and create LLL Centres. Albanian universities need specific training on how to establish a LLL Centre responsible of delivering ongoing teacher training that fits with the possibilities of each university and, at the same time, to collaborate through a network that guarantees the homogeneity expected by MoES in order to accomplish with a comprehensive VET system for teacher training.
In the detailed description of the project it is defined that the designing of LLL training courses will be based on:
-‐ Teacher training needs and MoES strategy for teacher professional development (WP1)
-‐ Selection of Learning Outcomes for teaching training courses, considering:
1. Key competencies for teacher training curriculum reform in Albania:
• Competence of communication and expression
• Competence of thinking
• The competence of learning to learn
• Competencies for life, entrepreneurship and environment
• Personal Jurisdiction
• Civic competence
• Digital competence
2. Areas of learning for teacher training in Albania:
• Languages and Communication
• Mathematics
• Natural sciences
• Society and Environment
• Arts

• Physical education, sports and health
• Technology and ICT
3. Learning Outcomes
Defined by the European Commission within the framework of the Communication from the Commission Rethinking Education: Investing in skills for better socio-‐economic outcomes and the document on Supporting the Teaching Professions for Better Learning Outcomes (European Commission, 2012) and subsequent working documents.
The following part summarizes the seminar: Teacher competences for a comprehensive VET System in Elbasan, 8th-‐9th February 2018.
Main topic of this seminar was the needs analysis on LLL for teachers in Albania. These findings were also incorporated into the decision on which topics to choose. The University of Elbasan and Danube University Krems developed a questionnaire to find out what the needs of the Albanian teachers and university staff are. The Albanian universities carried out and evaluated the survey. At the TEAVET project meeting in Elbasan on the 7th of February 2018 the Albanian universities presented their findings.
These are the needs which we perceived from the presentations of findings in Elbasan. The full findings are published in the work package 1 report (D.1.3. Needs analysis final report).
• The majority of teachers believe that more LLL training is necessary.
What do teachers need in Albania?
• They need more professional competencies. • They have needs for better ICT competencies. • Educational innovation: Training for innovative teaching methods is desired: Not
just general but for their own subject area.
What should be the mode of delivery?
• Blended learning is the preferred mode of delivery, but face-‐to-‐face is also an important part of further education.
Which infrastructure do Albanian schools have?
• Almost all teachers have smartphones. • Facebook is the preferred social network. • Infrastructure needs to be improved: Many teachers/students do not have internet
access at school. • The most used programs in class are 3rd party products: Google Forms and Google
Classroom.

What are the desires of the Albanian teachers?
• Many teachers would need more directions to find courses and material offerings for their needs.
• Networking: Teachers want more exchange and cooperation. • Stronger support by headmasters and institutions is desired.
At the meeting in Elbasan (in February 2018) group work was done to suggest module names and corresponding learning outcomes.
The following topics were presented by the groups at the end of the discussion round:
• Developing digital competence (searching, researching, building, developing, putting in practice, interpreting)
• Digital competences in the use of equipment and multimedia programs in process of teaching (smart boards, PPT, Prezi, learning management systems, …)
• Competence-‐based curricula (moving from objectives to competences, understanding competences, key competences, field competences, critical thinking)
• Innovative teaching methods: methods for specific subjects, students centered approach, mobility (cooperation with other teachers in EU country), personalized
• Comprehensive (no child left behind) and inclusive approach, children with special needs
• Assessing and evaluation education • Student-‐centered training (curricula based, didactical design and lesson plan,
learning needs) • Pedagogical innovation in primary education (learning by doing, role play,
national/international cooperation) • Didactics of foreign language acquisition (musical, online platform, eLearning,
teaching foreign language skills, reading, listening, writing) • ICT for Headmasters in school • Quality assurance of education • Partnerships with stakeholders • Conflict management • Project-‐based learning • Society and environment (environmental education, relation between nature and
human being, practice actions related to environment)
You can find the notes of one discussion group in the appendix.
The previous section shows our perception of the needs by the Albanian teachers and university staff. In the following we will summarize the key competences for lifelong learning by the European Parliament (2006), the needs of teachers in OECD countries and the key skills for teachers by The Lifelong Learning Platform. This will give you an overview of the key skills and needs of teachers in the EU and OECD countries.
In 2006, the European Parliament and the Council Recommendation published key competences for lifelong learning.

“Competences are defined here as a combination of knowledge, skills and attitudes appropriate to the context. Key competences are those which all individuals need for personal fulfilment and development, active citizenship, social inclusion and employment.
The Reference Framework sets out eight key competences:
1) Communication in the mother tongue;
2) Communication in foreign languages;
3) Mathematical competence and basic competences in science and technology;
4) Digital competence;
5) Learning to learn;
6) Social and civic competences;
7) Sense of initiative and entrepreneurship; and
8) Cultural awareness and expression.” (European Parliament, 2006)
In 2018, the European Commission updated the Key Competences for Lifelong Learning of 2006 and wrote that:
“Member States should:
1. support the right to quality and inclusive education, training and lifelong learning and ensure opportunities for all to develop key competences by making full use of the 'Key Competences for Lifelong Learning — A European Reference Framework’ as set out in the Annex, and
1.1. reinforce the development of key competences from an early age, for all individuals, as part of national lifelong learning strategies;
1.2. support young people and adults facing disadvantages, or having special needs, to fulfil their potential.
2. support the development of key competences paying special attention to:
2.1. raising the level of achievement of basic skills (literacy, numeracy and basic digital skills) as a basis for further learning and participation in society;
2.2. fostering the acquisition of competences in sciences, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) and taking measures to motivate more young people to engage in STEM careers;

2.3. increasing and improving the level of digital competences at all stages of education and training, across all segments of the population;
2.4. nurturing entrepreneurship competence, creativity and the sense of initiative especially among young people, including by promoting opportunities for young learners to undertake at least one entrepreneurial experience during primary or secondary education;
2.5. increasing the level of language competences and supporting learners to learn different languages relevant to their working and living situation.
3. facilitate the acquisition of key competences by making use of the good practices to support the development of the key competences as set out in the Annex, in particular by:
3.1. promoting a variety of learning approaches and contexts, including the adequate use of digital technologies, in education, training and learning settings;
3.2. providing support to educational staff as regards competence-‐oriented lifelong learning in education, training and learning settings;
3.3. supporting and further developing the assessment and validation of key competences;
3.4. reinforcing collaboration between education, training and learning settings at all levels, and in different fields, to improve the continuity of learner competence development and the development of innovative learning approaches;
3.5. reinforcing tools, resources and guidance in education, training, employment and other learning settings to support people in managing their lifelong learning pathways;
4. mainstream the ambitions of the UN Sustainable Development Goals into education, training and learning;
5. report on experiences and progress in promoting key competences in all education and training sectors, including non-‐formal learning.” (European Commission, 2018)
The OECD Teaching and Learning International Survey (TALIS) (2014) asked teachers and school leaders about their working conditions and the learning environments at their schools. The figure below shows the results of the teachers’ needs for professional development in the OECD countries.
Designing LLL training courses

Figure 1: Teachers’ needs for professional development (OECD, 2014, p. 109)
This figure shows the most important teacher’s needs for professional development in the OECD countries. Number one is teaching students with special needs. There is a big overlap with the needs analysis carried out for TEAVET among the the Albanian partners .
The Lifelong Learning Platform (LLLP, n.d.-‐a) identified the key skills that every teacher needs to meet the challenges and difficulties of the 21st century.
“The Lifelong Learning Platform (LLL-‐P) is an umbrella organisation that gathers over 40 European networks active in the field of education and training, coming from all EU Member States and beyond. Currently these organisations represent more than 50000 educational institutions covering all sectors of formal, non-‐formal and informal learning.” (LLLP, n.d.-‐a)
The key areas of twenty-‐first century skills that the network identified are Active Citizenship, Cultural Education, Digital Learning, Media Literacy and Entrepreneurship. But needs for CPD exceeded the twenty-‐first century skills. Another area that is important for the teachers – according to the survey of the OECD (2014) is inclusive education. This was also stressed by the LLLP:
“More inclusive and participatory approaches in the design of learning environments can contribute to modernising the way we teach and learn in all education subsystems across Europe. It is about improving learners’ participation and well-‐being which in turn proves to raise educational attainment.” (LLLP, n.d.-‐b)
Designing LLL training courses

These areas are essential for designing state-‐of-‐the-‐art teacher CPD, i.e. LLL teacher training courses.
As you can see, there are large overlapping contents in the TALIS report (OECD 2014), the LLLP, the Key Competences for Lifelong Learning (European Parliament 2006), the key competencies for teacher training connected with the curriculum reform in Albania and the needs of the Albanian teachers and university staff.
Based the learning outcomes which were formulated basing on the needs analysis and the discussion round in Elbasan, Danube University Krems and University of Turku prepared a list of modules that can be implemented in the Albanian LLL system. We chose the topics in order to be in line with the TALIS report, the LLLP, the Key Competences for Lifelong Learning by the EU, the requirements of MoES and the needs of the Albanian teachers and university staff. There were also courses proposed for school principals, but it was decided by the consortium that this exceeds the project scope. This is why TEAVET (and this report) focus only on teacher trainings (VET).
We structured the modules into six courses on the following areas: Digital Learning, Teaching and Learning Strategies, Active Citizenship, Media Literacy, Inclusive Education and Learning Culture. This structure is based on the Lifelong Learning Platform and the Key Competences for Lifelong Learning by the European Commission.
2. Purpose The aim of this report is to present Deliverable 2.1. Designing LLL training courses based on the teacher training needs and in line both with the strategy of the Albanian ministry of Education (MoES)and with the views of the European Commission on Supporting the Teaching Professions for Better Learning Outcomes (European Commission 2012), as well as subsequent working documents of the European Commission.
This document is the basis for the design of the training courses. It helps to understand the basis for the design, such as the needs of Albanian teachers and the developments and researches of European and OECD-‐level. This report furthermore shows the progress of design and depicts the current state (06/2018) of teacher training courses and module design. A glance at changes between the first draft and the state of 06/2018 can also illustrate the transcultural efforts to find a sustainable balance between the philosophy of CPD and VET for teachers in Western European countries and in Albania.

3. Methodology To build a good basis for the modules, we used literature review, a questionnaire, a discussion round and several feedback loops. In this report, we will show in detail how these methods helped us to design the courses and modules for VET in Albania as a basis of the creation of LLL centers for Albanian teachers.
The literature research was an important step towards the topics of the modules. It helped us to show what the Life Long Learning standards and aims of the European Union are and we used this knowledge to define the first categories of topics that were relevant for the project. Especially the Lifelong Learning Platform (LLL-‐P) helped us to define the key areas that are relevant for twenty-‐first century skills. This was used as the framework, in which the topics were embedded which were – according to the Needs Analysis carried out in WP1 – most interesting for the Albanian partners.
The Needs Analysis (cf D.1.3. TEAVET Needs analysis final report) showed that Albanian partners also were interested in developing courses for specific teaching subjects, e.g. methodology for language teachers, etc. After further consideration these courses for specific teaching subjects had to be left out, because it is not feasible to establish courses for all these subjects in this project. The problem was that the training courses of this project shall be established at all participating universities in Albania, but these topics would be too specific for this approach. Therefore, the TEAVET partners decided that it would be the best to focus on courses that are relevant for all teachers. Courses for teachers of specific subjects can be established later on, on the basis of the outcomes of TEAVET, after the end of the project. Through this project the universities get the tools to design and implement VET programmes and courses. On this basis, further training courses for specific target groups of teachers, can be developed in the framework of the LLL centers which are to be created within the TEAVET project.
Danube University Krems and the University of Turku defined for each module they developed learning outcomes which the participants of the courses should achieve.
“Learning outcomes state what a learner is expected to know, be able to and understand at the end of a learning process or sequence. The way such outcomes are defined and written orients teaching and learning, and influences the quality and relevant of education and training. The way learning outcomes are defined and written matters to individual learners, the labor market and society in general.” (Cedefop 2017, p. 23)
Learning outcomes are statements of intentions; they show what the participants should be able to do at the end of each module. To check if the intended learning outcomes were achieved, assessments or demonstrations have to be done. The intended learning outcomes help to check, if the learning outcomes were achieved by the learner. They also help the learner to know what to expect from the module (Grundschober, 2017).

Figure 3: An example how to use the basic structure of learning outcome statements from figure 2 above (Grundschober, 2017)
When formulating learning outcomes, the verb plays a crucial role. The verb addresses what the learners are expected to know, be able to do and understand at the end of a learning process. Ambiguous verbs should be avoided. The achievement of the intended learning goals can’t easily be verified, if ambiguous verbs were used (Grundschober, 2017).
In the following figure, you can see examples of ambiguous and precise verbs.
Figure 4: Cedefop (2017, p. 49)
In WP1 the University of Elbasan and Danube University Krems developed a questionnaire to find out the needs of the Albanian teachers and university staff working in VET for teachers. The findings are shown above (chapter 1: Introduction).
Some Albanian project partners were made familiar with Learning Outcomes at the end of the Kickoff meeting in León in November 2017. In February 2018, at the TEAVET partner meeting in Elbasan, a presentation on Learning Outcomes was held by Isabell Grundschober of Danube University Krems.
In February 2018, in Elbasan the VET needs of Albanian teachers and universitiies were reviewed in a discussion round. After the meeting, Danube University Krems and the University of Turku developed on basis of the outcomes of this discussion 6 courses consisting of altogether 18 modules, which they sent to the Albanian partners before the
Designing LLL training courses
11
TEAVET learning visit in Turku (in April 2018). The Albanian partners gave feedback on the design, and decided which modules were the most important ones for the VET programme to be implemented within the TEAVET project. At the partner meeting in Turku (26th of April 2018) the partners of the TEAVET project discussed the proposed topics in-‐depth, made some changes and decided for 16 training modules within 6 courses to be realized in the project, which are presented in the next chapter.
4. Description of modules Based on the needs of the Albanian partners, the topics for the modules were chosen. The requirements of the EU for twenty-‐first century skills for teachers were also taken into account. The modules were developed in several feedback loops. Through discussions at partner meetings and written feedback via E-‐Mail the VET programme for the Albanian partners evolved over time to the draft of courses/modules which you can find in this chapter.
As proposed by the Albanian Ministry of Education (MoES), organizational structure of the training is composed of courses that integrate different modules. Each module within a course should include: title, number of training module hours, sessions and contents, beneficiaries from the training, expected results, description of the content, methodology, assessment and bibliography.
Below, you can see the 6 courses that contain a total of 16 modules with an outline of the content and learning outcomes. In section 5.3., a sample module shows how the detailed design can look.
At the current state, the modules are not designed completely. The detailed design will be done by the Albanian partners (with help of Danube University Krems and University of Turku, if needed) until September 2018.

• analyze successful inclusive learning practices. • identify conceptual frameworks appropriate for investigating inclusion issues. • create a didactical design for individual learners in a group setting.
4.6 LEARNING CULTURE
4.6.1 Learning and assessment culture in Albania
Content: Participants will discuss in this module different learning cultures and will compare them to their own learning experiences.
Learning Outcomes:
After successful completion of this module learners are able to …
• describe their teaching and learning culture.
• illustrate learning theories with examples from their own teaching and learning experience.
• contrast assessment practices in different educational cultures.
4.6.2 Foster critical thinking through media analysis
Content: The module aims to introduce participants to practices of argumentation, critical analysis, and evaluation of online media (Newspapers, Blogs, Forums, …). The content and structure of different media will be analyzed regarding information quality and credibility and regarding the underlying assumptions which are built into the texts and pictures.
The training will present the concept of scientific thinking and how to teach it to children. According to scientific thinking, the best knowledge is the theory backed by reliable facts. When more facts are gathered, the theory can change. Scientific thinking starts with observation, proceeds with tests or experimentation, and ends up with conclusions in a stepwise systematic manner. The validation is then questioned when new evidences arise. In this context it means that lecturers must stay critical and always look for new validation, e.g. through media. It should give them tools to evaluate the veracity of the information in order to validate their thinking/believes/know-‐how, etc.
Learning Outcomes:
After successful completion of this module learners are able to …
• critically analyze different media. • evaluate the relevancy of the content for own teaching. • identify the quality of information of a text/image/video.
Designing LLL training courses

• conclude from the structure of an online publication whether it is credible. • update own teaching content based on new information. • understand the basics of scientific thinking.
4.6.3 Communication and conflict management
Content: Participants learn the basics about communication (theory, strategy and method), guidance and communication skills (developing feedback), mediation, conflict management (strategies and methods) and feedback (colleagues-‐students-‐parents-‐feedback).
Learning Outcomes:
After successful completion of this module learners are able to …
• identify feedback strategies for colleagues, students and parents. • analyze conflicts at school. • create a communication strategy for their school. • develop community-‐based operational practices.
4.6.4 Psychology of child development
Content: Improve understanding of minds of children, understand effects of external and internal influences on their development. Psychological development of children in psychological research and theory, such as the development of perception, knowledge, skills and relationships. Develop skills for education of children towards a networked, collaborative society, with additional focuses on well-‐being and communication
As this module emerged from the discussion at the Turku meeting (26th of April 2018), no Learning Outcomes are defined yet.
4.7 CREDIT HOURS FOR TEAVET COURSES
Dorina Rapti from the Albanian Ministry of Education (MoES) attributed credits to the courses and modules described above as follows. For clarification, 1 credit = 18 hours (9 hours face to face + 9 hours portfolio) = 12 sessions (1,5 hours each session, 6 face to face + 6 portfolio). The 16 modules that are presented in this section have been designed with this distribution of 50% of the time face to face + 50% portfolio. However, it should be considered that 50% face to face training is the minimum required for accreditation by MoES, what means that, in practice, a module can be designed with a higher percentage of face to face hours (for example, for 1 credit, 8 sessions face to face + 4 sessions portfolio).

5. Sample Module (Prototype)
On basis of the guidelines from the Ministry of Education of Albania (MoES), Danube University Krems designed a prototype module and presented it at the learning visit in Krems (15th and 16th of May). After the presentation, MoES commented again on the module and the design was refined accordingly. The result is a prototype which serves as a sample for the Albanian partners to design the further modules themselves. Danube University Krems and the University of Turku will assist and support them in this process.

8. Përshkrimi i përmbajtjes Descreption of the content Moduli 3 përqendrohet në mjediset e të nxënit për të nxënit e personalizuar.
Premisa bazë e të nxënit të personalizuar është se shkolla ekziston për fëmijët
dhe jo e kundërta, prandaj shkollat duhet të përshtaten për të mundësuar të
nxënit e nxënësve sa më shumë të jetë e mundur. Por, shkollat duhet të
përmbushin gjithashtu edhe funksione të tjera; për shembull, të rikrijojë rendin
social të shoqërisë, që përfshin një proces përzgjedhjeje (ndërsa të gjithë kryejnë
një funksion, jo të gjithë mund të bëhen ministër, avokat ose mjek). Këto
dinamika sociale dhe mënyra se si ato ndikojnë në funksionimin e shkollave nuk
duhen harruar gjithashtu dhe mësuesit duhet të ndërgjegjësohen për bisedat që
bëhen nga shumë njerëz në lidhje me faktin se çfarë e bën një mësues të mirë:
Një mësues që investon te nxënësit e shkëlqyer? Një mësues që shpenzon
shumë kohë për të mbështetur nxënësit e që kanë rezultate jo të larta? Një
mësues që kap vlerësimet më të larta në provimet kombëtare të nxënësve? Për
më tepër, të gjitha shkollat kanë burime të kufizuara dhe mësimdhënia
tradicionale mund të duket si një metodë e efektshme për të adresuar klasat e
mëdha që mësojnë në hapësira minimale dhe pa materiale për të nxënit e
personalizuar. Realiteti i kushteve të punës të pjesëmarrësve nuk duhet
nënvlerësuar ndërsa është duke u punuar me këtë modul.
Të nxënit e personalizuar nënkupton që çdo fëmijë pranohet si person me
talente dhe aftësi, me një formim të caktuar familjar, identitet social dhe përvoja
të mëparshme të të nxënit. Çdo fëmijë është i/e aftë të mësojë. Të nxënit është
një pjesë thelbësore e natyrës njerëzore. Çdo fëmijë dëshiron të jetë pjesë e
komunitetit. E fundit, por jo më pak e rëndësishmja, është që çdo fëmijë ka
aspirata, ëndrra, shpresa dhe dëshirë për të qenë i pavarur; një agjent i të
drejtës së tij ose të saj. Përvoja e kompetencës, përkatësisë dhe pavarësisë është
thelbësore për të nxënit, sepse vetëm fëmijët që marrin pjesë në një aktivitet
mund të mësojnë nga ai. Moduli 3 kërkon të ilustrojë mënyrën se si mësuesit
mund t’u përgjigjen këtyre nevojave në klasë. Për të mësuar më shumë rreth
mësuesve, mësimdhënies dhe të nxënit, dhe pedagogjisë me në qendër

nxënësin, ju lutemi shikoni Broshurën 12 të Serive A Rights-‐Based Approach to
Inclusive Education for Children with Disabilities.
Tradicionalisht, vëmendja e mësuesve është më shumë te grupi sesa te
individët fëmijë dhe kur përgatiten për të dhënë mësim ata marrin parasysh
interesat dhe përvojat e mëparshme të të nxënit të grupit. Meqenëse fëmijët
klasifikohen në grupe homogjene sipas moshës, mësuesit presin homogjenitet
edhe përsa i përket njohurive, interesave, stileve të të nxënit, stileve të
ndërveprimit, etj. Nëse të gjithë fëmijët janë të njëjtë dhe duan të mësojnë të
njëjtat gjëra në të njëjtën kohë, mësimi në grup është mënyra më efektive dhe
e efektshme. Por rrallë ndodh që të jetë kështu; prandaj disa fëmijë, në
përgjithësi, mbeten prapa, që në shumë sisteme shkollash konsiderohet si
diçka normale. Arsimi gjithëpërfshirës e sfidon këtë ide dhe thekson të
drejtën e çdo fëmije për të mësuar. Për vetë faktin që besimet dhe premisat e
mësuesve për të nxënit kanë një ndikim të rëndësishëm te fëmijët, ata duhet të
trajtohen dhe të jenë më të qartë. Moduli i adreson këto përmes shembujve dhe
studimeve të rastit që i theksojnë këto besime/ide – pa i vënë në siklet
pjesëmarrësit. Për faktin që shumë nga ajo çfarë mbulohet në këtë modul
supozon se trajnuesi ka një besim të thellë se fëmijët janë agjentët e
ndryshimit dhe të aftë për të krijuar (dhe përçuar) dëshirat e tyre.
Tradicionalisht, vëmendja e mësuesit është më shumë te detyrat se sa te situatat
dhe më shumë te përmbajtja e kurrikulës sesa te kompetencat e nxënësit. Nëse
nxënësit i përmbushin detyrat dhe përmbajtja e kurrikulës mësohet deri në fund
të vitit shkollor, çdo gjë duket sikur është në rregull. Por, a mësuan nxënësit
vërtetë diçka domethënëse për ta përdorur në jetën e përditshme? Rezultatet
për vlerësimin e nxënësit kanë treguar se metodat e mësimdhënies tradicionale
nuk janë efektive, veçanërisht në klasat me diveristet. Kalimi i vëmendjes nga
detyrat te situatat dhe nga përmbajtja te kompetencat nuk është diçka që
arrihet në pak ditë. Qasja bazuar në situatë për mësimdhënien dhe të nxënit
përshkon të tre modulet e këtij programi. Moduli 3 thekson rëndësinë e
përcaktimit të qëllimit si një veprim i parashikimit të kompetencave të nxënësit
në të ardhmen drejt mësimdhënies. Pjesëmarrësve u jepet mundësia për të
praktikuar përcaktimin e qëllimit si një nga pjesët më të rëndësishme të
planifikimit të mësimdhënies së personalizuar.

4. Numri i orëve të modulit të trajnimit Number of hours for the module of
training: 36 hours (minimum of 18 hours in training face to face and the
remaining 18 hours portfolio)
For clarification, 2 credits = 36 hours = 24 sessions (1,5 hours each session, 12 sessions
face to face + 12 sessions portfolio). However, it should be considered that 50% face to
face training is the minimum required for accreditation by MoES, what means that, in
practice, a module can be designed with a higher percentage of face to face hours. This is
the case of this sample module of 2 credits: 24 sessions (15 sessions face to face + 9
sessions portfolio).

8. Përshkrimi i përmbajtjes Description of the content
Blended learning “designates the range of possibilities presented by combining Internet and digital media with established classroom forms that require the physical co-‐presence of teacher and students.” (Friesen, 2012) Blended learning approaches can be effective means of optimizing student learning and improving student performance in the class. Blended learning is supported by learning management systems (LMSs). On the example of Moodle the participants will get an introduction into blended learning concepts.
Blended Learning is a good way to do Vocational Education and Training (VET) and/or Continous Professional Development (CPD). You can use classroom time to get familiar to each other, have face-‐to-‐face contact and to network. However, learners have limited time to do training in classroom only. The additional allocated time for the Internet exercises (Portfolio exercises) can be chosen – mainly – freely, except for webinars and chats. Teachers do not need to commute and can work, whenever it is most suitable for them.
Actually, all classroom work with students is blended learning, as well. Students have always worked in classroom with the teacher and did homeworks to train the skills/knowledge they had acquired in class. Today’s blended learning concepts include media use: students can, for example, make small videos with their Smartphones or iPhones, comment on them and upload them as an assignment into a LMS (learning management system. The exercise – instead of being (hand-‐)written in a book – can include many media formats, such as Slide Presentations, Screencasts, a collaborative Glossary, and much more.
Designing LLL training courses

Additionally, the format of “Flipped Classroom” allows teachers to upload or link to multimedia content (like videos or audio documents) to a LMS and let the students watch this content as a preparation for collaborative work or exercises to be done in classroom. However, the material should not be just uploaded with the simple instruction to watch it. It needs some didactical preparations to make this type of assignment a fruitful learning experience – such as posing questions in relation to the content or to ask the students to prepare a presentation basing on the material available online.
An important basis of the didactical design of blended learning is the writing of Learning Outcomes following Blooms revised Taxonomy (Anderson, Krathwohl, e.a. 2001). By aligning activities (both in the Learning Management System and On Site) to the different types of cognitive processes as shown in Blooms revised Taxonomy, participants get an insight into different ways of learning – online and on site (in classroom). By reading theoretical texts about Blended Learning, they get a more precise idea about the basis for didactical concepts.
In order to get rooted in practice, the module implies the active use of an LMS: participants work with Moodle and explore a range of features of this mighty LMS – both in the role as a student and as a teacher. The evaluation of good practices with Blended Learning allows the participating learners to link theory to practice and to collect valuable ideas for their own learning and teaching practice.

6. State of development
The process of designing the modules had the following stages:
1. Summarize discussion around needs analysis of WP1 after the Elbasan meeting (8th-‐9th February 2018)
2. Writing report and define topics of modules and learning outcomes based on the Elbasan meeting and literature until 9th of April 2018
3. Get feedback on modules from all partners until Turku meeting (26th of April 2018) 4. Agree on topics of modules at partner meeting in Turku (26th of April 2018) 5. Danube University Krems designed a prototype module, which they presented and
discussed at the Krems meeting at the 15th of May 2018 (Section 5.1.) 6. July 2018 until September 2018: Albanian partners of TEAVET will design the
training courses (with support of Danube University Krems and University of Turku)
At the teacher training seminar in Durres in February 2019 all the teachers from the Albanian universities in charge of the future courses, will attend the training seminar. The University of Turku will coordinate the preparation of all the materials and methodology for each course, as they are responsible for this work package. There will be 6 parallel sessions: one for each of the 6 courses that group the 16 modules. Each Albanian university will provide academics for it. The Albanian universities will be responsible for the coordination of the preparation of the modules (structure and outline as suggested by MoES following the structure of sample module in section 5.3., methodology and bibliography).
