SKILL SHORTAGE : e.learning @LIS CALL 2002 1) First Blue Print Proposal (2002/06/20) http://progetti.webscuola.tin.it/multilab/lati07/alis/index.htm 1.1 )INFORMATION : @LIS EU-Call – Dead Line 31-OCT-2002- Search For partners (1) Dear Potential Partners, the SKILL SHORTAGE e:learning Proposal to @LIS CALL lanced by the LRE-EGOCreaNET of the “University of Florence” (2) aims to develop an EU-AL Alliance keeping the Technological Information Society and the changes of global economy as well as an opportunity for improving the development of Human Resource Potential. 1.2) VISION and FINALITY The logical framework basis of the SKILL SHORTAGE pilot project for “e.learning in cultural diversity context”, will finalized to bridge the gap between intellectual employment and the development of the post industrial society i.e. the Knowledge driven Economy improving new options for intellectual career choices in vocational and on the job permanent education . Mission of the SKILL SHORTAGE pilot project will be the development of ITC e-strategies of Net-Learning, in order to innovate and mobilize Knowledge Management resources in a e.democracy way of development that will be the richness of Nations in the III° Millennium Working for the above mission the LRE/EGO-CreaNET is convinced that the mutual interactivity in shared knowledge society strengthening ties among inter institutional public private co-operation will extend the benefits of Information Society , reinforcing national and sub-national co-operation. The above will be extremely useful especially for SME’s development in Knowledge Driven Society favouring investments and competition to extend benefits of Information Society to all the population. Therefore we look forward to implement an open network in e.learning between partners of Europe and Latin America emphasizing that the WWW linkages for powering the developmental dialogue among different cultures it will generate a strong effort to solve common developmental endeavours . NOTE 1: Following the above finality the Group LRE/EGO-CreaNET would like to send to “potential partners” the first BLUE PRINT for improving the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) among partners that you can better and modify to find all together a final e. Agreement . A second Blue Print of the partnership e. agreement will be proposed for clarify the participative methods and rules for e.work improvement of intervention strategies , see for instance a previous MoU e. agreement proposal developed for another project Business Labour University for Electronic Society (BLUe.S) by the LRE-EGO-CreaNET . (3) 1.3) OBJECTIVES - FIRST BLUE PRINT of strategic vision for improving a preliminary e. agreement among partners that after would like to debate and sign the Memorandum of Understanding (2002/ 06/ 20) Specific objectives will be : ° Encouraging the Europe- Latin America co-operation by means establishing public & private alliances and on-line interconnection framework among University and SME’s related to the development of the networking knowledge management net –learning “e.strategies” in cultural diversity scenario based on a comparative international perspective. ° Bridging the gap between intellectual unemployment and new professional SKILL BUILDING in the field of vocational education and also in the field of SKILL LEVERAGING for on the job education, developing net-learning high quality “e.strategies” , as a key priority for improving international Knowledge Driven Society .° Developing demonstration projects of innovative applications in the field of Networking e.learning co-operation for the common sustainable development aiming to decreasing the digital divide with an emphasis on net-learning applications based on open source software. 1.4.) - BRIEF DESCRIPTION of the PILOT PROJECT /IDEA The main goal of this project that will be developed in Networking e.LEARNING ( = NET-LEARNING) in a context of cultural diversity among Europe and Latin American Countries, will be to improve professional development potential in innovative Knowledge Management oriented to develop new international opportunity for intellectual job. Therefore the Skill Shortage program will be a co-operative activity in Educational Innovation for improving a new ITC way for learning co-operation , working as well as a “Developmental Skill International Virtual Advanced Laboratory “dedicated to a cross fertilisation of innovation quality of “e.learning objects editions” for the knowledge management in the context of the Knowledge Driven Society. Therefore the SKILL SHORTAGE @LIS program aims, by means an transnational mutual interaction on education innovation , to assist educational decision makers , implementers and program designers for improving and evaluating “ net.learning e. strategies” in relation to implement multidisciplinary approach integration , connecting and co-ordinating fundamental science and economy and psychological research of University, and Colleges with SME’s localized districts , and also aiming to get access to all citizen to a rapid flow of integrated knowledge both in a innovative vocational and in a lifelong educational approach. The above it will be possible using the web editing of educational material production and focusing a large dissemination of the networking e.learning co-operative demonstration and testing available in forms that will be show in clear and easily accessible evidence in the WWW. 1.4.1) - The pilot project SKILL SHORTAGE structural methodology will be: • Develop the organization of an International Virtual International Advanced Laboratory ("VIAL") in the perspective of a net-learning agency consortium construction for improving, within a shared knowledge agreement, very appropriated endogenous models appropriated to the dynamics of knowledge in economy , creating educational net-learning innovation adapted to the conditions and realities of each country or local regions. • Respond and interchange experiences to overcome to SHILL SHORTAGE local demand in each partnership country , by means proposing the "VIAL" shared strategies of co-operation to national and regional public & private educational agents of vocational training and lifelong learning, especially focusing the needs of Knowledge Management for sustainable business models for SME’s in a global economy, aiming to realize a series of concrete objectives, actions and specialized e.learning objects. 1.4.2.) Selected Priority Fields “VIAL” networking virtual centre of innovative “net.learning” “VIAL “ networking virtual centre of innovative “net.learning” will develop some integrated Models and disseminating them involving a “critical mass” of University and SME’s in each partnership country with the focus to produce e.learning objects on significant application in terms of “e.Quality” of contents, methodology , and web dissemination for SKILL BUILDING & LEVERAGING , "problem saving" strategies based on the GLOCAL ( Global + Local - general Vision) ,particularly focused on the relationship between science & society helping a developmental sustainable collaborative scenario among LA-EU Countries . 1.4.3.) - Work plan in progress --------------------- - The “e.work” of partners for improving the Work & Business Plan of the Pilot Project SKILL SHORTAGE will be co-ordinated along four work packages : A) Perspectives of the EU-LA Consortium Development identifying the complementarity and synergyes of the various roles and subprojects proposed by partners, including the new forms and rules of e.working organization. Sign of the MoU by all effective partners (dead line 2002/July/31 ) B) Perspective in NET-Learning identifying emerging trends and strategic choices of knowledge management SKILL professional building and on the job leveraging in respect to the thematic choices for the professional contents selected for the production of innovative models and demonstration of Net-Learning for the development of Knowledge Networked Economy . (dead Line : 2002 /sept./15 ) C) Setting up a selection of functional open source platforms for net.learning . Getting a complete revision of strategic management vision of the Pilot Project Idea , focusing particularly developmental e-strategies to support and to mobilize skill management resources in a way to favour investment and networked competition for SME's development both at national and international levels. ( Dead Line : 2002/Sept/30) D ) Setting up the definitive Working and Business Plan Agreement (Dead Line : 2002/Oct/ 15) 1.4.4 ) Deliverables Specific deliverables for improving networking knowledge will be summarised as follows: . ° Editing and disseminating e.learning multilingual objects , tool-kits and new net-learning methodologies in Knowledge Management for local socio-economic profiling of SME’ proposing innovative courseware that will be cover a wide range of relevance subjects for growing the quality of life. ° Disseminating the “state of arts” of innovative and pioneering case studies , on Networking e.learning organization and their applications for social partners and public and/or private enterprises in a cultural diversity international scenario. ° For the above goal will be organized during the pilot project development some “e.conferencies” and “e. workshops “ on line and a final International CONGRESS . A strong diffusion will be improved and implemented continuously , through an internet information system of "VIAL" net-learning Web-portal and an special online Magazine, showing the demo’s of the models and tool kits packages of e.learning units, and popularizing the comparative reports on the variation of opportunities among different countries . Partial and final Results that will be produced monthly during the pilot project’s SKILL SHORTAGE partnership Consortium will be disseminated utilizing National and International Mass Media (Newspapers, Magazines, Forums and Group Discussion on line, Radio, TV…) 1.5.) EXPECTED RESULTS ° Create a future sustainable Net Learning Network between University ,Colleges and SME’s Industry , as an effective stable International Net-Learning Agency for Knowledge Management promotion, at local, regional and international levels, that will be able to co-operate and contribute in setting up and evaluating guidelines for understanding the strategic choices on the development and the acquisition of emerging trends and needs of knowledge driven economy. NOTE 2. : Status of the art ( 2002/06/20) REQUEST od the Partner’s LETTER OF INTENT Today (2002/06/20) a primary goal for improving the @LIS SKILL SHORTAGE Pilot project, is to develop a partnership consortium very motivated on the above finality , mission and goals, for developing a framework complement criteria on innovative methods for skill building & leveraging in using WEB for producing innovative educational modules and units for developing net.learning programs for improving opportunities in intellectual e. work in the context of growing the International KNOWLEDGE DRIVEN ECONOMY of the Digital new Age. In particular partners will be encouraged to build up and implement “e.strategies “for an Europe & Latin America "Community Partnership Development, between University and SME's Enterprises" aiming to foster a shared SKILL BUILDING futures for the KNOWLEDGE DRIVEN ECONOMY It will be clear that at this preliminary stage of the developmental procedure of such complex challenge it will be impossible to establish priority areas in a planetary basis because they need to be defined through a participate process based on a solid analytical territorial basis of relevant issues for different socio-economic and environmental sustainable objectives proposed by every country partner. Therefore the LRE/EGO-CreaNET of the University of Florence will to promote a pilot project SKILL SHORTAGE with a large consensual basis for understanding the short and long terms benefits of the net-working learning , therefore it is greatly important that every country partner can express a proper vision of the priority areas of Knowledge Management skill building and leveraging in a way that the proper "sub-project" must reflects the country core identity values. As a matter of facts this Project/ idea to develop an unity of aims in networking e.learning pilot project considering and implementing cultural differences tray to follow the general guidelines recently approved by OECD ( 4 ) Therefore until now the LRE-EGO-CreaNET proposes the present first BLUE PRINT for developing a Pilot Project “e.Learning in a Cultural Diversity “ @LIS –call 2002 , aiming to search for “EU - LA” open partnership Now the LRE-/EGO-CreaNET Working Group (W.G.) is looking that the working plan specific contents areas of NET-LEARNING will be defined by the partnership alliance , at the same time that partners all together will be able to understand their roles responsibilities coming in the Partnership "Steering Committee Group" for developing the complete proposal . Hoping that all potential partner in address would like to agree to this approach, so that the W.G hopes to receive from all of you a "Letter of Intent" to participate as well as effective partner of the "SKIL SHORTAGE " @LIS Pilot Project. For the above GOAL the LRE/EGO-CreaNET W.G. need to receive as soon as possible ( and no more later than 30 June 2002) the “Letter of Intent “ in the Head paper of each potential partner interested to develop a co-operative pilot project well as effective partner. In this “Letter of Intent” partners are asked to provide a detailed description of their role in proposing a proper short detailed “sub-project idea”, finalized to improve the SKILL SHORTAGE general proposal previously described in the main finalities in a way that it will be possible to forecast the local socio-economic benefices in a skill building an leveraging of knowledge management co-operative strategy among Latin American and European “net-learning” Alliance, aiming to improve the thematic priorities of science society integration the Knowledge Driven International Society.
