Multi-media learning involves active learning, both behavioral as well as cognitive, because it is a type of computer-based training that uses two or more media, including text, graphics, animation, audio (sound/music), and video.

Elect2eat and Msystech projects offer a new approach of thinking the vocational learning process: a public, performance-centered, task-oriented multi-lingual training environments.

1. Introduction

HISOLD-RO 2009September 27 – 28, Sibiu, Romania

2. Objectives

The shortage of engineers in micro-, nano-systems and the systematic decrease of students in electronics at the university can be a threat to the European economy competitiveness.

The primary target groups concerned are: professionals from SME in electronics and micro-systems, students in engineering education and vocational schools, educated but unemployed people looking for additional training for employment.

1. Performance-Centered Design - is the key difference between performance support systems and training systems;

2. Learn by doing - much of what we know to do in a job we learn on the job;

3. Organizational Memory - refers to the knowledge that an organization has or could have about its business and to the process it uses to acquire and recall that knowledge;

4. Technology Use - the performance support system (PSS) is a natural extension of building technologies that transform the way people work and learn.

3. The Approach

4. The MSYSTECH European Project

The mSysTech project is based on the positive results and experiences in two European pilot projects: Leonardo da Vinci project IPCI and Socrates/Minerva "On-line Learning Mathematics and Sciences" (OnLine Math&Sciences).

In mSysTech the performance-centred job-linked training approach will be used also and the selected content from the courses of IPCI will be adapted and up-dated for the needs of Romanian and Bulgarian electronic sector and education.

The e-learning platform used for this project is MOODLE (Modular Object-Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment).

The EAT e-learning program has the following three modules:

Design DfM & CAD; Components & PCBs; and Assembling & Test.Each module is a specific web-cast with freenavigation possibility, and access to morewritten and oral explanations, movies and videos, a

photo library, self-assessment possibility etc.

In Elect2eat, the transferred innovative content mostly appears in the form of tangible products:

- The e-learning program, where the Design for Manufacturing module is included, is the most important domain of the Electronics Assembling Technology environment.

- The Assessment Tool is a new initiative to use the self-assessment method of “definition matching quiz” and “picture matching quiz” of the e-learning program to examine the knowledge of the trainee.

6. Conclusions With their new technology, Elect2eat and mSysTech

projects move the traditional teaching systems to the closely related to the job learning.

The most important tangible outcomes are that the training centers, industrial associations and schools will be able to provide the self-learning web-based courses for both students and people of the region who are seeking for jobs in this field or are interested in continuing or convergence education for any other reasons.

The message to the teachers, to consider the impact of teaching on results, good performance and competitiveness, is another perspective of this innovation.
