Project Details
Project Title
Promotion of Technology-Enhanced Learning and Digital Education in South African University and TVET Colleges
Context
For third-world countries like South Africa, the need to upskill TVET (technical and vocational education and training) colleges with digitalisation is urgent. The UNESCO report Digital skills development in TVET teacher training (2022) highlighted that Africa, is still lagging behind when it comes to digital skills at TVET colleges. The main objective of the Pro-TELDE project is to partner with European countries to share expertise in the area of digitalisation and to ultimately contribute to Economic growth in South Africa and reduce unemployment.
Objectives
The project aims to, first of all, provide the target groups with basics skills to exploit digital solutions for teaching. Furthermore, and more importantly, the project aims to provide the target groups of the skills and competences to:
- identify and select existing open digital sources that can be used for teaching business and economics subjects.
- make full use of all the potentialities of digital education and technology-enhanced learning (TEL) as an integration or alternative to traditional teaching
- create their own digital teaching sources in the field of business and economics
Target Group
The project is addressed to South African HEIs and TVET lecturers of business and economics
subjects.
Results
- 60 South African lecturers will acquire digital skills and competences, via participating to face-to-face training programmes both in South Africa and in Europe as well as via accessing the online programmes on the same topics.
