  Combined VET - e-learning plus m-training
02.10.2004 631 Combined VET - e-learning plus m-training
At the end of the LOGIS project it became clear that in spite of the successful project results, it does not solve one of the 21st century problems – lack of time, which influences greatly the learning process. In fact, time for e-learning is equal to the traditional learning in classrooms. Of course, users can choose convenient time for studies, as well as place with the Internet connection available. This process is less time consuming for teachers and trainers. However, nowadays users are not satisfied with the current situation. Every year new technologies appear on the ICTE market, which are used for the development of the companies’ information processing and business process management systems. It means that a user should spend more time on rising of the proficiency and skills level. It is not possible without VET methods change.
LOGIS MOBILE project participants have decided to change training methods fundamentally, changing e-learning with m-training, together with reducing amount of study material.
Instead of comprehensive lectures and training book it was decided to prepare as compact as possible concise training dictionary in Logistics Information Systems. The dictionary is composed in wide spoken European languages – English, German, French and Spanish. The most frequently used terms in Logistics Information Systems are grouped in the dictionary. There is a control question at the end of each term explanation, which would let users to check their knowledge. To get this study service not a computer would be necessary any more, but only a mobile phone. See http://www.logis-edu.com/wap.

It essentially enlarge territorial coverage, and ensure more convenient access. Taking into account GSM/UMTS current development tendencies GPRS/EDGE/UMTS 3G, it is possible to forecast that in the nearest future a typical mobile phone will become a communicational tool widely used in learning. Only one exclusive factor that can objectively narrow its use is limited screen size. Therefore, this reason and limited wireless communication channel throughput require minimizing of the study material.

e-Learning material on Logistics Information Systems are deployed on http://www.teachsys.com , but mobile training dictionary in four widespoken languages see on http://www.logis-edu.com in LOGIS MOBILE part "Dictionary".
