Presentation of e-learning package in Rotterdam
The NMCI is a member of a Maritime Education Platform (MEP)
project supported by 'Leonardo da Vinci' funding.
The main concept of this EU project is to produce and share high quality
educational material. This is being accomplished by developing a virtual
learning space assisted by organized seminars. Partners include maritime
colleges in Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Romania, Norway and The
Netherlands.
Each partner in the project has to develop a high standard and up to
date e-learning module(s) on a certain maritime subject. One of the
tasks of NMCI is to develop a course for lecturers concerning Automatic
Identification System (AIS).
The material developed in this case uses various methods that will offer
a multitude of resources that can be used in the learning process and
include SCORM packages, video, hyperlinks and PowerPoints.
This e-learning package will be used by maritime teaching establishments
and will follow the ethos of quality learning under the Maritime
Education Platform (MEP).
The e-learning package was presented at a seminar by Peter Walter
recently in STC Rotterdam. Key contributors in this project were Bill
Kavanagh (Lecturer, NMCI) and Maria Murray (Multimedia Developer, Deis,
CIT)
