EGX SHORTE PROFILE The Educational Group Xinis (EGX) is now one of the largest private education organisations in Europe. It has grown to this size by both expanding the size of each college and by diversifying the colleges to offer more and more options to an increasing number of students.The history of the system goes back 40 years to when the President, Mr Sophocles Xinis began to charter his course with the aim of offering a comprehensive educational service to Greek youth.The history of EGX has been one of growth, the interests of the students have come first and the high quality of educational programmes and their relevance to the world of employment has always been of primary importance.EGX has expanded from its original base in Athens, and now has branches of its member colleges in the cities of Piraeus, Patras, Thessaloniki and Florina. The EGX is made up of 9 sister colleges, educating over 9000 students annually throughout Greece in 35 buildings offering facilities such as library, study rooms, computer laboratories, Internet, video viewing rooms etc. EGX employs over 750 teaching and 250 administrative staff.At the time being, Educational Group Xinis is made up of the following colleges:· Mediterranean - ECS (Mediterranean College and Hellinofono College combined together)· Baker College· IIEK Xinis· Carierra· Xinis Technical Vocational School· Nursing College· Institute of Pedagogical Studies· Xinis Foreign Languages Institution· KEK XINI - Centre of Continuing Vocational TrainingMEDITERRANEAN - ECS During the third decade of their existence, the two university level colleges Mediterranean and Hellinofono College joined their forces in 1998 and make Mediterranean - ECS, where "Private Universities in Greece" will be based upon:Hellinofono CollegeFounded in 1978, offers university level courses taught in Greek in areas of Business, Computing, Graphics, Interior Design, and Journalism. Moreover Hellinofono College is franchised to offer bachelor's degree courses in International Business Administration and in Secretarial Administration in collaboration with the University of Northumbria at Newcastle. These programmes are taught in Greek and in English for those units that are counted towards the degree classification. Mediterranean CollegeFounded in 1978 to offer higher education in English, this college has established a high reputation for the quality of the academic work done. Mediterranean College has grown from a Junior College offering two years courses to students wishing to transfer to either the USA or the UK, to a fully developed college offering both its own qualifications and, in collaboration with Coventry University, 3 and 4 years degree courses. This franchise agreement leads to the award of Bachelor degrees and Higher National Diplomas in the areas of Business Administration, Tourism & Business Administration, Business System & Information Technology, Human Resource Management, Secretarial Administration, Psychology, Graphic Design and Marketing. Master's Degrees are offered in Business Administration, Human Resource Management, Leadership Studies and Maritime Studies.Moreover, Mediterranean ECS offers Foundation courses preparing students for year one entry to UK universities.BAKER COLLEGEIn 1990, Mediterranean College was the first educational institution that brought and began to run an American State University Bachelor's and Master's Degrees in Greece in collaboration with Baker College, one of the oldest and largest private Colleges in Michigan, USA. Degrees are offered in Business Administration, Accounting, Management, Computer Information Systems, Marketing, Maritime Studies, Human Resource Management, and Leadership Studies, mainly by Interactive Teaching through Internet.IIEK XINIS (Institute of Initial Vocational Training)These institutions provide post secondary vocational education leading to state validated awards after two years of study. Many of these courses can be supplemented to allow advanced placement into appropriate degree courses or a probable HND award or equivalent. Business Administration & Finance, Computing & Information Technology, Microsoft specialisation & Internet, Social Welfare Services, Transport and Tourism, Communication & Media, Structural & Building, Electronics & Automation, Sports and Applied Arts are the main areas of studies offered.CARIERRA - Institute of Secretarial and Business Administration StudiesThis is the largest college of its kind in Greece which offers a wide range of courses which range from company sponsored vocational training to two-year English medium secretarial and business administration courses for high school (+18 years old) graduates. More specifically, CARIERRA (in collaboration with University of Surrey, London College of Arts, London College of Management and Institute of Linguists) offers specialised courses related to Business, Computing, Art & Design, Communication & Media, Insurance, Translation, Tourism & Shipping, Secretarial Studies. Some courses are taught in English and lead to international qualifications conferred by professional bodies. Many of the graduates of the English medium courses might well qualify for advanced placement into some British Degree courses, mainly in Business Administration.XINIS TECHNICAL VOCATIONAL SCHOOLIt was founded in 1998, replacing Xinis Technical Schools founded in 1974 and offer technical and vocational education to Greek high school students and qualifications that are validated by the Greek state. Graduates from these technical schools could be well "topped-up" to follow the second level of a Bachelor's Degree or to enter the final year of BTEC course (HND). The major specialisations offered are the following: Information Technology, Hair-Dressing, Structural & Building Studies, Business & Finance, Electronics & Communication and Applied Arts.NURSING COLLEGEIt provides post-secondary three-year courses. In particular, it provides its graduates with vocational qualifications that allow them to work as nurses and support technicians in Health related professions. The Nursing College offers the following specialised courses: midwifery, dietetics, aesthetics, lemphic massage, psychiatric nursing etc.THE INSTITUTE OF PEDAGOGICAL STUDIESThis is a highly regarded centre of post-secondary study, in Greek language, where graduates are academically and practically qualified to be employed as pedagogues and infant & nursery-school teachers. It has a strong tradition in the teaching of Psychology (Child Psychology, Clinic Psychology), Education and Encouragement and Motivation techniques. Its students have often transferred to the UK, sometimes for postgraduate studies.XINIS FOREIGN LANGUAGES INSTITUTIONThis institution founded in 1980 provides regular and intensive courses for adults in a wide range of languages leading to internationally awarded certificates e.g. Sorbonne, TOEFL, Cambridge University Lower and Proficiency, as well as courses for special purposes- LSP. Most EU languages, as well as "rare" ones, e.g. Russian, Bulgarian, Arabic, Japanese are taught.THE CENTRE OF CONTINUING VOCATIONAL TRAINING - K.E.K. XINIThis centre, in co-operation with all other colleges of EGX, plays a major role in responding to specific needs of the local labour market. It specifically provides vocational training programmes funded by EU to the unemployed, as well as young individuals under 25 years of age.KEK XINI is dedicated to the design, development and implementation of high quality continuing vocational training, especially in innovative subjects that are created by Technology Progress.EUROPEAN UNION AFFAIRS DIRECTORATEThe EGX European Union Affairs Directorate is responsible for the formulation of proposals for EU funded collaborative projects. EGX has already implemented numerous projects within the framework of community Initiatives such as SOCRATES, Training and Support Services for SMEs, DAPHNE, EMPLOYMENT - YOUTHSTART, EMPLOYMENT - INTEGRA, LEONARDO, PETRA, PHARE, LINGUA, NOW, ADAPT, EUROFORM, OPEN & DISTANCE LEARNING PROGRAMMES, MEDCAMPUS: EDUCATION AND TRAINING ON THE ENVIRONMENT, LIBRARIES, COPERNICUS.FURTHER OVERSEAS LINKSIn 1998, an exclusive cooperation with the Russian Ministry of Education is established. For the first time in history, the Ministry cooperates with a private educational institution in another country offering scholarships. This agreement promotes University studies of Greek Youth in Russia, as well as of Russian people in Greece.Furthermore, Educational Group Xinis has agreed to franchise several educational programmes in Latvia, Ukraine and Georgia to offer the opportunity to local students to attend courses in Management, Public Communications, marketing and Secretarial Administration, where EGX is responsible for safeguarding the quality of the delivered programme.FURTHER INTERESTSEducational Group Xinis is a growing and dynamic force that gains strength from the trust and confidence of thousands of students and graduates and by the business and industry community at large. EGX extents its educational and research activities even further, developing and running projects in other areas, in collaboration with national and international partners. Areas of current interest include Culture, Sports, social and economic development of certain parts of Athens, Greek Language, human resources etc. The objectives of EGX are not only plainly educational. EGX activities aim at students' personal and cultural development.Moreover, special social services, seminars, events etc are offered regularly to all students |

Introducing Information Technology in Kindergartens
The General Union of voluntary
Societies (G.U.V.S) was established in 1959 as a response for the demands
of the less fortunate people in the society to give them a hand of help
and hope to live. According to legislation and low, the G.U.V.S represents
nationally, the voluntary sector in Jordan, which consists of 750
charitable societies and twelve unions under its umbrella. Such charitable
societies provide social cervices that are both specialized and divers.
The G.U.V.S complies with the implementation of societies services and
projects in many fields such as, General Caring for the Disabled, Health
Care which is represented by Al-Amal Cancer Center, Collectivism
Productive Projects and Credit Fund Program for poverty alleviation and
providing new work opportunities, General Community Service and Childcare.
The G.U.V.S focuses on childhood through various programs in line with its
continuous support directed towards children, especially in the pre-school
years of age. This is accomplished through the kindergartens, which belong
to the voluntary societies affiliated with the G.U.V.S. There
are 300 kindergartens run by different voluntary societies caring for
27500 children, and 41 nurseries looking after 960 children. If
we want real change and evolution in our community (educational, cultural,
social, scientific, and technical) we should begin from kindergarten
stages since it is the critical stage in preparing the human being as an
active individual in our society. So the child is the root and the base of
any generation. If
we want to achieve our objectives for a modern
Jordan in 2020, as it is
declared by his majesty the king, without any historical defects, or
educational, social, and cultural retardation we have to concentrate on
the real human development issue for the individuals. According to
international definition of human development, we must assure the
importance of providing the human being of sciences, education, and
knowledge, and then let them choose the way they want to be active
individuals in the society. Objective: The project aims at Introducing Information Technology in the educational system in kindergartens stage, to enable the children to deal with the world of technology in early stages learning, and stop the classical way of teaching and feeding of children. In addition, it will be a model for any public or privet sector wants to achieve this level of technology. The children in this stage won't need teachers but only supervisors because the programs and curriculum would be designed especially for them so that they could enter the world of information technology either in kindergarten or at home, to develop both their knowledge and creativity. Project component:The project will be composed of the following components 1- Suitable curriculum in varies topic for kindergarten stage in English language. 2- Effective programming system that includes a best design of the curriculum used by kids. 3- Computer for each kid in kindergarten. 4- Healthy and suitable environment for children in kindergarten. 5-A special training material for nurses to qualify them for using the system and dealing with kids. In addition, to achieve preparing curriculum programs, training…etc. the following specialists among other things will be needed: 1) A geneticist. 2) A sociologist. 3) A psychologist. 4) An astrologer. Implementation: This project we envisage to be implemented at G.U.V.S, national and regional in close cooperation and partnership of EUMEDIS Program. We suggest an expert should be available by EUMEDIS Program to prepare the detailed project document as it is defined by EUMEDIS Program. who are concided of tomorrow ,that’s why we had to start from the very beginning which is the kindergarten specially that we had entered the third millennium that is information technology so, we have to inter computer to these kindergartens consist of ( ) child , and ( )kindergartner .as we believe that today's child is our to expose children to computer technology because children in this stage won't need a teacher but a supervisor because all curriculums well made specially for children so that children could enter computer world in kindergarten or at home, to develop both their knowledge and creativity. Specially that our kid will be taught by using an inter playing system were he/she can use at their own home or kindergarten to introduce, and to improve those kids capacity and knowledge, so to achieve this stage of improvement we must have a trained and a qualified staff to use computers also these kindergartner must have this ability to train these kids no matter how young they are. We need specialists in genetic engineering, sociology, psychology and astrology, to collect the curriculum that will be the center of kids learning, then it will be tern of information technology to crystallize this syntific curriculum to make computer programs to be the first step to any institution that would achieve this level of technology. If we want a fundamental changes in our community (social, scientific, technical) we must start from the kindergarten stage though its an critical stage to prepare our active individual if we look for year 2020 where we can not find any social, historical, or educational impurities, we must concentrate on the establishment phases of individuals according to countries realization for human development to give them all what they need of science and knowledge to let them choose after that the activities they like to be an active member in the society.

Ce
programme propose différents volets d’action, et la Chambre de Commerce
et d’Industrie du pays d’Arles, au travers de son centre de formation
s’engage dans le volet relatif à l’éducation
et la formation. Dans
ce projet, il faut réunir au minimum 2 pays de l’union européenne et
un maximum de pays méditerranéens partenaires dans les 12 pays suivants : Algérie,
Chypre, Egypte, Israël, Jordanie,
Liban, Malte, Maroc,
Autorités palestiniennes, Syrie, Tunisie, Turquie. Sont
pointés en gras, les pays avec lesquels, nous avons dors et déjà des
contacts relativement avancés pour édifier un partenariat durable sur ce
projet. Les pays soulignés, sont ceux avec lesquels nous souhaiterions
compléter notre partenariat. Peut-être qu’au niveau de l’Egypte, du
Liban, de la Syrie, et des autorités palestiniennes, vous pourriez nous
aider à trouver des partenaires potentiellement intéressés par le présent
projet. Pour
le partenariat européen, la France, représentée par notre structure
(Chambre de Commerce et d’industrie du Pays d’Arles) sera le chef de
file de ce projet. C’est à dire, que nous serons responsable, dans la
soumission du projet pour l’ensemble des partenaires. Les autres
partenaires européens seront représentées par l’Espagne et
l’Italie. L’engagement
attendu de ce partenariat : Chaque
partenaire devra s’engager dans la durée (maximum 3 ans).
L’engagement portera également sur les aspects suivants : -
personnel
mis à disposition au niveau des actions locales et transnationales(ce
personnel sera payé, et les éléments financier devront apparaître sur
le budget) ; -
ressources
structurelles mobilisées (locaux, salles de travail,…) ; -
ressources
matérielles et techniques mobilisées par chaque structures ; -
suivi
et accompagnement du projet tout au long du projet (détermination d’une
équipe de pilotage au sein de chaque partenaire). Nature
du projet Le
projet consiste à créer un réseau pédagogique en ligne, s’adressant
à différents publics, scolarisés au niveau primaire et secondaire. En
France, ce projet s’adresserait aux écoliers, collégiens et lycéens.
Le secteur universitaire, serait chargé d’élaborer les programmes et
la mise en service de ces programmes, en utilisant internet. Cette
action vise particulièrement les villages reculés, au sein desquels,
l’éducation, même classique est difficile. Les écoles de ces villages
seraient alors équipés en ordinateurs, connectés à internet, et les
enseignants recevraient en premier lieu une formation à l’utilisation
d’internet, comme média de formation. Des programmes didactiques seront
élaborés par des universitaires qui se destinent à l’éducation, et
mis en ligne par d’autres universitaires, étudiants les Nouvelles
Technologies de l’Information et de la Communication (NTIC). Pour ces étudiants,
cette activité, constituerait un domaine de recherche, inscrit dans leur
cursus universitaire. Ces
différentes actions, seront menées parallèlement dans chaque région
ciblées. Le suivi de chaque action sera assuré, toujours en ligne, par
les coordonnateurs du projet, et un site sera créé pour suivre et
accompagner les différents opérateurs, dans l’élaboration des différentes
étapes de leur projet. Pour être plus précis, dans chaque pays, le
partenariat doit être constitué des entités suivantes : 1-
Un centre de formation 2-
2 université (une spécialisé sur les NTIC, et une spécialisée
en éducation/formation, chargée de former des professeurs pour écoliers,
collégiens et lycéens) 3-
une école et/ou un collège et/ou un lycée. 4-
Une ONG, intervenant dans l’éducation, la prévention, la santé,
etc. en résumé, une organisation ayant un travail social auprès de
publics en difficulté. Chaque
organisation, devra présenter leur champs d’activité, et leur compétence. Il
faut également savoir quelles sont les problématiques que chaque
organisation rencontrent en matière d’accès au NTIC (ex/ manque de matériel,
de personnes formées, problématiques liées à la mobilité, illétrisme,…). Voilà,
Monsieur, les informations basique de ce projet. J’espère qu’il
attirera votre attention, et que nous pourrons envisager un partenariat
durable. |

Every
year nearly 100.000.000 tourists, mainly from Europe, are visiting
Mediterranean destinations. The healthcare services they receive in the
case of need are in the majority of the cases of inferior quality than the
ones they receive at home. In
the past ten years European R&D efforts, beyond any doubt, have
demonstrated that Telemedicine (or, in a wide sense, healthcare
telematics) is an enabling technology that can help to improve the locally
offered services for the benefit of both the local population and the
visitors. Currently
the lack of suitably trained professionals restricts the widespread uptake
of Telemedicine services. The number of persons required to be trained is
very large. The training has to be as quick and effective as possible. It
is therefore necessary to develop education and training schemes able to
address all the relevant issues. In
the context of the European R&D project HERMES (1996-1998) the School
of Medicine of the Universities of Edinburgh and Athens developed an
Education and Training Package suitable for medical workers who want to
acquire a working command of the Telemedicine issues. European
Educational & Training efforts in the
framework of the LEONARDO DA VINCI EU programme have resulted via
the CATAI-TELEMED (1995-1998) pilot project to the establishment of the
structured BODY OF KNOWLEDGE in Telemedicine for doctors and medical
informaticians (deliverable published as HANDBOOK OF TELEMEDICINE, IOS
Press-The Netherlands, 1998. The
LEONARDO DA VINCI APOLLO ODL (1996-1998) has been established for the
provision of Open Distance Education to professional training in Medical
Informatics. It is currently used for the provision of Distance Education
to General Practitioners in Central Europe (LEONARDO Project PROPRACTITION
2000-2001 ) and to
developing countries through the UNESCO Chair of Telemedicine (LEONARDO
Project CTC 1999-2001). This
Joint EuroMediterranean effort concerns the establishment of a distance
teaching & teleworking healthcare
network where distance
training packages in Telemedicine will be developed & tested
using Web based technologies. All other educational and training forms
will be supported. More specifically, training in telemedicine at presence
and at a distance will be offered through low cost media. The same media
will be used for practical training in telemedicine and all telemedicine
experiences and devices from the participating countries will be included
and incorporated in the network. Consulting support will also be provided
to telemedicine networks developed in those countries, as adapted to their
telecommunication and information society environement. Suggested

Communication
Euro Méditerranéenne pour l‘Education à l’Environnement Chaque
année, depuis 1993, l'association U MARINU organise la manifestation
Mer en Fête qui rassemble une soixantaine d’associations sur un
bateau itinérant autour du thème de la sensibilisation des jeunes à la
connaissance et à la protection du patrimoine naturel commun : la mer Méditerranée.
Cette année, 5000 élèves ont pu participer aux différents ateliers à
bord du bateau. Depuis deux ans, un colloque associe des universitaires de
la Méditerranée pour valider les démarches éducatives (parrainage
UNESCO). Le
projet est d'accroître la portée pédagogique et interculturelle de
cette manifestation par la constitution d'une plate-forme pour le développement
d'une approche transdisciplinaire et multiculturelle de l'éducation à
l'environnement. Cette plate-forme s'appuiera sur une concertation des
pays riverains de la Méditerranée autour des nouvelles technologies de
l’information et de la communication (NTIC). Les
objectifs du projet sont : -
de concevoir et valider des outils multimédias et multilingues :
logiciels didactiques et interactifs, CDRom,…, -
de promouvoir les échanges à différents niveaux entre formateurs,
enseignants, scientifiques et universitaires pour développer l'éducation
à l’environnement. Les supports E mail et forums de discussion
permettront de poursuivre à distance les travaux et réflexions de
groupe, -
de créer un centre méditerranéen de ressources pédagogiques. Un site
Web assurera la permanence des échanges en réseau et la diffusion des résultats. Le
projet valorisera la diversité culturelle dans l’abord de l’éducation
à l’environnement. Au terme du projet, tous les partenaires auront l’équipement
et la formation nécessaires aux échanges électroniques et à l’accès
aux ressources pédagogiques développées dans le partenariat. Nous
avons actuellement établi des partenariats à Chypre, en Espagne, en
Italie , au Maroc, en Palestine et en Tunisie. |

Une
idée vient de naître dans la tête d'un groupe
universitaire libanais: une proposition eumedis sur le thème "éducation,
droit, société". But:
diffuser par les moyens informationnels les plus modernes des informations
à but éducatif sur les droits fondamentaux de l'homme, la démocratie,
la laïcité, l'égalité entre les hommes et les femmes, enfin tout ce
qui peut rapprocher les peuples du dialogue eumedis. Le projet est énorme
et fructueux: forum de discussions, questions-réponses d'ordre juridique,
culturel, social, organisation de colloques via internet. Nous
recherchons deux partenaires européens: français (puisque nous sommes
francophones) et un autre pays européen (la Belgique ou la Suisse par
exemple) et deux autres partenaires méditerranéens (ils sont tous les
bienvenus..). A
vos réponses chers partenaires. Nous développerons ces idées avec votre
aide au fur et à mesure. Nous n'avons pas beaucoup de temps. |

Mediterranean Training and Technological Co-operation Network for Enterprise Support. SCOPE AREA: several Mediterranean entities (from Spain, Italy, Egypt, Jordan and Israel) SUMMARY In the framework of the EUMEDIS' fifth action sector, concerning Euro-Mediterranean co-operation in the field of Education, this project gathers the joint effort of several Mediterranean entities with various interests (educational, labour and enterprise interests, etc.) This project's main action is the creation of a Network, providing on-line training through a Virtual Network, and contacts through a Virtual Forum, aiming at the creation of a Euro-Mediterranean co-operation area for the development of enterprise projects and initiatives (self-employment, enterprise creation, Tele-working, co-operation between enterprises and professionals, etc.) Already existing enterprises will also be supported, by encouraging and supporting the exchange of experiences between them and their employees' joint training. As a result of that, new technological and training solutions are to be
implemented in the participant countries, which allow the emergence of new
employment sites as well as local and regional economical development. |

Cedetel, a non-profit technological centre focused on the area of telecommunications whose main task consists on launching projects of technological development.We are very interested in taking part of EUMEDIS programme, and our aim is to create a network of Universities that create training modules to be delivered through the Internet that will be used in telelearning experiences with students and teachers from the different countries taking part. After the end of the project we expect that the human networking established will help to increase the cooperation between the local and regional communities involced in the project (exchange of students and teachers, cooperation in research programmes, or even cooperation in socio-economic activities...) The idea of our project is very simple, basically we propose that every country taking part in the project creates some hypermedia or hypertextcontents corresponding to a course of a certain study of higher education in their own language and in English. These contents will be delivered using a multilingual virtual learning space. In these telelearning experiences it is expected the participation of a mix of teachers and students from the different countries (always depending on the knowledge of the language used) in order to increase the cooperation between the regions taking part.We think that the ideal partners for this project are the institutions of higher education and we expect that after the end of the project, the partner universities will make an effort to continue working together through other programmes (exchange of students, teachers, telelearning experiences,etc.). We are interested in that. |

The virtual management center This project aims to promote business management education and practice within the Euro-Med. countries, through the use of modern information technology. It will hopefully provide students, teachers and practicing managers with updated information on :- (A) Syllabuses in institutions of management education and training programs, Research interests of faculty members and management scientists, Books, journals and publications on management and inter-library loan facilities, Seminars and talks as well as extra curricular university activities, (2nd) Vita statistics of each member country, Directories of commerce and industry for each
country, (3rd)
Business consulting and
investment opportunities. The above information will give access to members of the academic
community as well as business managers in EUMED countries to a wide and
updated database for collation according to different perspectives and end
purposes of respective users. It
is believed that the collective responsibility for supplying, updating
and maintaining this center should ensure
a higher level of cooperation between member countries for the
benefit of all. Objectives: -
Assist universities and other management
teaching institutions in modernizing their -
research and teaching methods, -
Provide students and researchers with current research interests in the
region thus common themes could be encouraged and research cooperation
sought, -
Encourage academic exchange programs for the promotion of management
teaching , -
Provide a common data base for libraries thus reduce stocking costs, -

Currently there is significant global momentum towards extending the
provision higher education to reach greater numbers of students of all
ages and backgrounds at times and locations which suit them. This
transformation also coincides with technical innovations in the
development and implementation of Communications and Information
Technologies (C&IT) within the higher education sector. Consequently
University teachers are concurrently managing dramatic changes in both
teaching and learning and in the use of C&IT. With careful
consideration these new technologies can be used to create an environment
where students are helped to learn and think constructively, critically
and reflectively. Achieving these pedagogical aims requires sound
institutional support for both the technological infrastructure and also
the development of staff and students’ skills.
These changes were addressed by a National Committee Enquiry into
the future of UK Higher Education (NCIFHE, 1997) which recommended the
establishment of an Institute for Learning and Teaching to highlight the
increasing importance of quality teaching in higher education
(http://www.ilt.ac.uk/). One of the major recommendations of the committee
was that universities should provide a coherent staff development
programme to assist tertiary level teachers in developing and updating the
skills required of them. In April 1998 the University of Strathclyde was the first Scottish
university to present an innovative, accredited programme of this nature.
Entitled “Advanced Academic Studies”, this Postgraduate Certificate /
Diploma course offers modules in all areas of tertiary level teaching and
research. This course is available to all academic and related staff who
have a teaching responsibility. Modules include:
Based on experiences gained while offering this Programme to staff
within the Scottish Higher Education sector, the aim of this project is to
further develop this course into a fully accredited online staff
development programme which will be available to tertiary level teaching
staff in both Jordan and the UK. The project will:
As the first Scottish University to present an innovative, accredited
programme involving C&IT for teaching and learning, the University of
Strathclyde is at the forefront of staff development approaches in this
area. The Advanced Academic Studies programme includes two modules in
Web-Based Teaching and Internet Communication for Teaching and Research,
both of which integrate current thinking in pedagogy with the practical
skills necessary for technology-based teaching. Our experiences indicate
that placing university teachers in the role of learners enables them to
experiment freely with the theory and practice of online learning and
helps them to develop a clearer understanding of the problems and
opportunities which students may face. |

Staff Development and Evaluation Program This program aimed at developing and evaluating staff members at the
university level to cope with the developments in their subject matter as
well as with instructional activities, methodologies, information
technology and innovations, and research tools. Therefore, the
proposed program emphasizes continuous training and evaluation as a means
of academic staff improvement. Furthermore, the academic staff
should have, and offer, access to other resources in the Mediterranean
region and the world at large. Thus Information Technology and
networking should be an integral part of this proposed project. |

Establishing
an Information Resource Centre For
Open and Distance Education This centre is intended for documenting information derived from
scientific and field studies conducted in the Arab World and from
in-coming research from regional and international centres, institutions
and organizations, and made readily available for the Arab Network for
Open and Distance Education- ANODED, and other researchers. The
software support and hardware components include a Web Server to provide
for exchanging information and messages among ANODED members. It will
provide information on electronic references, research and reports. The
centre will be an ANODED advertising tool informing interested users of
participating universities with news in terms of course offered, lectures
delivered and stored. The centre will control information and services and
have the ability of updating. Through connecting it with Internet, it will
provide access to international libraries and the possibility of
establishing links with universities the world over. By linking if with
word networks via satellite in Europe-Italy or Greece-, it will be capable
of receiving and sending selectively. Furthermore, the centre could
document M.A and Ph.D abstracts to avail them to distant learners every
where in the Arab World. |

Multimedia Courseware in Arabic as a Second Language We propose to develop pilot multimedia courseware in Arabic as a second
language, taking advantage of our experience in this instruction to
students coming from many countries. This subject is especially important
to European businessmen and tourists. The multimedia courseware is to
incorporate text, sound, images, and video clips in Arabic and in the
appropriate European languages. Incorporation of these languages has for
primary goal the cla_rification of the course’s context. The courseware
is also t have oasimple multilngual
user interface and a playback capability. The contents of every lecture should incorporate several instructional
levels, including an elementary and detailed level for the novice, a
normal level, and an advanced level for quickly reviewing the material. As
part of this project, we propose that a prototype be developed early on in
the project. This prototype should be tested on native speakers of the
languages for clarity, ease of use, and cultural bias. Based on the
outcome of this experiment, the final pilot is to be implemented. The courseware will be presented on: Internet sites with coordination between Al al-Bayt University and
European and Regional hosting entities. Accompanying on-line documents
(contain instructions on how to use the Internet site for learning
Arabic). CD-ROMs The budget will include the cost of one pilot instructional multimedia
at the university’s Language Centre. It is to be used in the evaluation
and testing of the courseware. Estimated Budget: TBD with eventual partners. |
