Pools-2 (Producing
Open Online
Learning
Systems - 2) has been approved for an EU grant in the period
2009-2011. POOLS-2 is
coordinated by
Confederación Española
de Centros de Enseñanza
(CECE),
the teams come from
Cyprus, Denmark,
Malta, Portugal,
Scotland, and Spain. EfVET has
been chosen as
dissemination partner
with access to thousands
of vocational colleges
across Europe.
Pools-2
is a Transfer of
Innovation (TOI) project
which will exploit the
results from the "original" pools
project, which
developed materials for
language teaching and
learning as well as
teacher training
courses. Pools-2 will
transfer the core
outputs of pools to
three new languages:
Greek, Maltese, and
Portuguese
The POOLS-2 project target
group is teachers of
the LWUTL (Less Widely
Used and Taught
Languages) in technical
colleges. Due to the
limited range of ICT
materials for these
languages the teachers
often have to develop
materials themselves if
they want to exploit the
many advantages of
eLearning.
The final
products are:
1. Pools of online
 copyleft materials to be
used during in-service
teacher training courses
and in teaching.
2. Flexible competence
based language teacher
course modules on ICT
methodologies and
development of ICT based
teaching resources.
3. A DVD with step by
step instructions and
examples on how to
create multimedia online
material.
4. A course book (downloadable
.pdf file) with
description of language
teaching eLearning
materials and
methodologies

The teams have prepared
sample exercises to be
used during the pilot
courses. The idea is
both to show what can be
made with the tools
available and how to use
online resources in
classes.

The four projects
teams from Cyprus,
Switzerland, Malta, and Portugal have
produced videos that can
be used for language
learning / teaching, The
videos cover different
aspects of life,
culture, and education
in the four countries.
Each video is
transcribed with
translations into
English and has cultural
and language notes to
assist the selection.
The videos are graded
according to which level
a user should have in
order to benefit from
the material (when
supported by online
dictionaries) according
to the
Common European
Framework of Reference
for Languages.
