EmployID at ICELW 2014/2

The EmployID Concept was presented last week at the ICELW 2014 Conference in New York City. The proceedings are now available: 

The conference is dedicated specifically to workplace learning and attracts delegates from all over the world. 

In our paper we address current issues PES organisations in Europe are facing and how we plan to offer facilitation support for their professional identity transformation phases. One focus of the paper is on the contextual exploration that is currently taking place in the project and how contextual challenges have to be considered for the implementation of learning facilitation processes.

Delegates presenting implementations of eLearning in other professional contexts, especially from traditional industries, encountered similar challenges.  

The presentation slides are now available at Slideshare: http://www.slideshare.net/barbarak/learning-innovation-in-public-employment-services

Kick-Off Meeting at Vienna

After already several months of amazing engagement, the project had its official kick-off on February 6/7 in Vienna.

All the partners have discussed intensely on 

  • the challenges of fast changing working and learning practices and identities in public employment services
  • the need for agility in providing learning to their employees
  • and the constraints of security and privacy considerations.

It has become obvious that supporting learning has fundamentally different requirements in terms of openness, networking and exchange with others than the need for security and privacy of operational administrative systems. These diverging requirements and ways how to satisfy both will be one of the important topics of the four years project.

The interdisciplinary and multinational team drafted an agenda for the first months, ranging from strategies to engage a diverse set of stakeholders to exploring the architectural and technical possibilities. 

Pre-Kickoff virtual meeting

Continuing with the same dedication and level of engagement, all EmployID partners meet today via Flashmeeting to coordinate the activities for the kick-off in February. These activities around MOOCs, involving associate partners and discussing joint activities, exploration of ideas and setting up a sustainable and effective collaborarion infrastructure give the project a headstart.
