Working Methods and Techniques
Partner institutes will meet and discuss the subject in the Kick-off meeting to find a common understanding for the project. After kick-off, the modules will be designed and prepared by means of a collaborative work between all partners according to the time planning.
All partners in WP4 will prepare outline of their modules during WP3. They will send the outline to the auditing partner in the last week of WP3.
The auditing partner will check the outline to prevent overlapping among the modules and submit a report to F4ST Project Manager.
All partners included in WP4 will prepare monthly work plan or schedule about their estimated progress of developing modules from 3rd to 9th month of F4ST. They will send this work plan to WP4 leader.
WP4 leader collects these monthly work plans and send them to the auditing partner and technical secretary. WP4 leader will ask the partners re-organize their activities according to monthly auditing reports.
In the last week of each month every partner will check his or her progress about the modules under his or her responsibility with the auditing partner. Auditing partner will inform the WP4 leader and technical secretary about the results.
Every partner will submit the finished training modules under his or her responsibility to Coordinator, the auditing partner.
After completion of all training modules, the auditing partner will evaluate whole modules in 4 weeks and report to Project General Coordinator, Project General Manager. If the finished modules are satisfactory, modules will be transferred to the e-learning modules in 9 weeks by P10-AdV (WP5).
Every partner will make the sound record of the modules under his or her responsibility and send them to the coordinator and P10-AdV until the completion of transferring modules to the e-learning (WP5).
P10-AdV will perform transferring sound records to e-learning modules in 2 weeks. Final review of whole training program will be done by P1-KSML and P10-AdV in 4 weeks before training session starts (WP5).
Each partner involved in WP4 will be responsible to prepare training modules according to required format by P10 (AdV-TR). Power point presentations, speech text, hyperlinks for literature, detailed information (pop-ups, glossary of modules under their responsibility), questions and answers for final exam and the exams for each module, sound records.
Expected results
- To prepare content of 9 modules and exam questions and answers.
