Automation and robotization (A&R) is often the main driving force behind the development of advanced manufacturing, including the transformation of the company towards the Industry 4.0 model. Effective implementation and effective use of A&R solutions is possible only if the company has good prepared and educated employees. It applies to all levels, from the direct operation of machines and processes, through mid-level technical staff, to the management level. Nowadays, education of young staff, as well as training of those currently employed, requires the implementation of new solutions and methods of Vocational Education and Training (VET). They should ensure not only a high professional level, but also meet the challenges facing VET today: attractiveness of education for students, especially young ones, universal accessibility regardless of the place of residence, internationalization. The paper, presenting results of the MILAN project, shows that addressing those problems can largely be facilitated by the use of modern, advanced ICT solutions.

“…This paper describes how this can be achieved using the already available functionalities and services of Coursevo along with the new functionality currently being implemented to support gamification elements that are expected to increase student engagement. Before going into the Course organization using the underlying services and functionality (already available or being implemented), it should be noted that Coursevo is essentially a generic infrastructure that provides access to diverse repositories of learning resources to enable wider sharing and networking of the learning communities (Pappas et al, 2017). It integrates functionalities that allow for the flexible organization of digital content in collections, providing searching services that facilitate identification of relevant content and its reuse.…”

Coursevo (http://coursevo.com/) is a multilingual multimedia information system for managing courses, supporting learning processes and learning communities through the Web. Its multi-tenant architecture supports multiple instances of the underlying server infrastructure using the same core to serve the needs of multiple communities. An advantage of Coursevo in comparison with other eLearning systems is the emphasis that is given in the use of multimedia as a powerful learning means. Learning activities using multiple media can be more effective than doing it through a single medium (such as text), but what is important is combining media effectively. Coursevo is used in several vocational training and life-long-learning initiatives to establish and continuously support Onlife Communities. An Onlife Community is an aggregation that emerges in hyperconnected spaces when humans engage with other humans as well as with machines and natural entities in mindful interactions with sufficient human feeling to form webs of personal relationships. The paper presents how Coursevo is extended with gamification facilities to enable game-based learning scenarios within the context of the GAME IT project and beyond.

We present the design, implementation and evaluation of a training programme for Computer Science teachers on the educational use of the Python programming language inside and outside school. The programme used pre-existing educational resources centered on meaningful, self-contained programming projects. The training programme followed a blended-learning approach thus offering an opportunity to many computer science teachers make their first steps towards the educational use of the Python language within a very promising learner-centered pedagogical framework. After the initial training phase, the participating teachers were supported to establish and run local Python code clubs. The paper presents the experience from establishing, running and evaluating one of them, established at Chania, Crete by three of the authors. The evaluation clearly demonstrates the effectiveness of the code club approach to learning to code in a manner that is engaging, fun and meaningful for the students and opens up new creative opportunities for them.
