ONLINE EDUCATION PRACTICE AND OPEN CONTENT DEVELOPMENT (OCD) IN VET

According to our research activities the OCD model, which obtained on the results of several learning content digitalizing projects, was built upon the recognition of the change in the teaching-learning paradigm presented above. Our young students in VET system who gain network knowledge in a variety of ways in today's ICT environment are not sufficiently motivated to learn and elaborate traditional learning materials. This finding is especially relevant as young people's communication practices, including communication amongst themselves, using the services offered by community applications and dominated by multimodality using image messages. This new multimodal environment represents new possibilities of education and demonstration such as learning based on playing, virtual worlds and the development of customized learning environments with permanently attached forms of communications such as thematic blogs and professional e-portfolios providing information on one's professional activities. The conclusion argues that in case we provide a targeted methodological support within the frames of open vocational content development, the education theoretical and methodological innovation will be possible to be implemented effectively at the level of school practice, as well. The paper focuses the experiences of the online micro-content based development and the effectual sample and results of the subject of VET. Our examination within the network of the 12 VET pilot schools proposes well adoptable methodological potentials in the topic of online education practice by using Open Content Development method. We have also determined the future developing areas such as developing a mobile phone application, supporting the idea of bringing your device and cloud-based solutions.
