Quick Seminar Debrief

Last week was our second seminar, an important step for all the partners : an opportunity to get together and find out the practical details about our collaboration the final outcome of the project.

The Scottish partner, Anniesland College, and the German partner, Technologie- und Gründerzentrum Ostprignitz-Ruppin GmbH [DE], came to France in Caen for 2 days. Unfortunately, the polish partners from 36°6CC couldn't come but Mosqi.to, the sub-contractor in charge of the design, brought a Polish touch to this meeting.


Many things were agreed on at this meeting :

Learning x (cooking + languages) = Ecuisine

The originality in the Ecuisine lies in the fact that it is not only an online cooking course but that each of the cooking course produced by its 4 partners will offer the trainees from the other partners the opportunity to follow their cooking course thanks to 2 language modules.

The aims are twofold :
  1. Create a new distance learning offer in basic cuisine tranferring French approach, available to more partners as support for trainers and apprentices within the partnership and create new tools fully adapted  to non-native speakers preparing work experience abroad
  2. Enable trainees to apprehend both basic professional languages, strongly connected to the activities, and the cultural and occupational differences to prepare work experience abroad.

Up & Running : server, moodle and collab tool

Today is a big day for us since we just finished setting up Moodle and Agora Project on our very own server !

I guess everybody knows Moodle now. Moodle is to Elearning what Mozilla Firefox is to web browsing. Moodle is one of the world's favourite LMS (Learning Management System), i.e a ready-to-use website for learning purposes : students and teachers may login to broadcast or take classes. And it's all free and open source. Its best feature maybe a large community of users helping each others. http://moodle.org/
