English to Greek Other Education / Pedagogy

New technologies have increased that demand for new skills, i.e. the specific skills required to operate Information and Communication Technologies and the generic skills required to operate the ***information interfaces*** that are entering most areas of life. Before choosing ICT-aided methodology in any form of continuing vocational training, however, it is essential to get as much information as possible about the target groups (e.g. experience, background), its resources (e.g. availability, access) and the contents of the training programmes. Further, it is important to motivate individuals to take up this form of learning, without, however, claiming that ICT-supported LLL is easy, i.e. it is important to know our audience, not to frighten potential trainees about the use of new technologies and try to speak the same ‘language’. All involved stakeholders should realise that the enhancement of skills and business performance depend on certain strategies and techniques that go far beyond education and training. E-learning is not a goal in itself but a vehicle that contributes to accelerating and consolidating the transformation of individual and organisational learning. It is important to view e-learning as a tool for innovation and a key enhancer of change for the individual.
