Abstract:
The paper discusses design and development issues of a course
intended for mixed delivery (face-to-face and online) and aiming at
enhancing management skills of early years practitioners in order
to enhance their labor market prospects. The course is being
developed within the EEEYMS* project by partners from UK,
Finland, Bulgaria and The Netherlands. The purpose is to design an
ICT based flexible learning solution. The content is organized in
nine modules. The course is implemented in two ways: an online
version, integrated into a Learning Management System
(LearnWise), and an off-line version (on CD). This paper discusses
content and design decisions, module structure and organization,
navigation strategies, and issues related to translation of learning
materials into user-friendly electronic format for non-IT specialists.
