Challenges of Current SituationThe Concept of Lifelong Learning is being realised

at national and European level. In this context:

Sectoral and trans-sectoral qualification/competence

frameworks (as EQF, eCompetence Framework) aredeveloped which define standards for VET andHigherEducation on the basis oflearning outcomes.

Permeability between VET and HigherEducation isbecoming more and more a reality.

Training providers have to change their offers fromexternal services to coaching work process orientedlearning in the framework of enterprises.

The Position of TENEGEN in the Projects

Context

Primary Objective: To enable teachers to

make Web 2.0 fruitful for learning

One of the secondary goals: reference tocertification issues

Thus the TENEGEN project is allocated at

the interface between standardisation and

innovative learning approaches

How to Valorise TENEGEN

For operational needs of DEKRA

Akademie: Update training of trainers

For strategic approaches to be followed incollaboration with partners: Consider the

tension between (necessary formalised)

standardisation and unlimitedpossibilities

ofconnectivism-based learning

Some Questions to be Answered within

Follow-Ups (1)

How can Web 2.0 based learning enable a

wide range of creative learning approaches

and at the same time be steered in a waywhich guarantees the achievement of

required learning outcomes? (Contexts:

Accreditation ofTENEGEN approach,

Relationship between Portfolio Approachand Standards)

Some Questions to be Answered within

Follow-Ups (2)

How can results of Web 2.0 learning be

described in EQF terms?

Is it possible (and if yes how is itpossible) to apply Web 2.0 based learning

within work process oriented learning?
