WORK PACKAGE AIMS Monitoring of project and outcome/output assessment 53

DESCRIPTION OF ACTIVTIES This activity will be directly carried out for the whole duration of the project. It is finalized both to produce Interim and Final Reports (of which the contents are related to verify how regular they are executed, with a stimulating and supporting function to reach the results planned). It is necessary to take into consideration that the project is developed in a crisis context, never occurred before, and heavily hitting the whole sector. In this situation also coping needs can come out, to be compared to variables able to jeopardize what initially assumed (for example, on the type and nature of the training and information contents). Consequently, the fact of owning procedural considerations and information on the work in progress allows to face any possible occurrence of variables not previously considered and to bring the needed required modifications in progress. 54

DESCRIPTION OF ACTIVTIES With regard to the assessment, it will concern all quantity aspects connected to reach the objectives (number of companies, number of end-users of courses) as well as functionality, effectiveness and usefulness of contents transferred in comparison with requirements and market/sector demand. It is foreseen that three Monitoring Reports be compiled (8 th month: to be attached to the Interim Descriptive and Administrative Reports; 16 th ; 22 nd : to sustain the assessment report) as well as a Final Assessment Report, to be attached to the Final Descriptive Report and also to the Final Financing Report. 55

WP 9SUSTAINABILITY LASTING5 MONTHS FROM01/06/2010 TO30/10/2010 PACKAGE LEADERTECTRA 59

WORK PACKAGE AIMS To create those conditions necessary to ensure sustainability of outcomes at closing the planned actions. 60

DESCRIPTION OF ACTIVTIES The sustain given by Leonardo da Vinci Programme is fundamental at this moment. Consequently, the contributions offered by the Community directory must be considered function of a process of integration of those opportunities of continual training and updating already existing, by creating methodological prerequisites with the adoption of innovative technological and user-friendly solutions within the frame of the sector. The E-LASTIC Platform conceptually belongs to a family of instruments for the management of information contents (CMS), of which the major peculiarity, to be enhanced, consists of easily incrementing the contents, customizing and rapidly updating them, just-in-time and at a low cost. All these operations must be directly managed also at single company level, apart from the fact that ANFIA and ANFIA Service will get on doing this activity in Italy also at the conclusion of the project. 61

METHODOLOGICAL FRAMEWORK In view of improving the sustainability of the results obtained, it is considered to realize, always within the framework of the Platform, a Courseware specifically conceived for the use of the Platform and transfer onto companies the necessary knowledge of autonomously manage the uploading stage for the information and training contents (particular and specific ones). This is done to the aim of “empowering” and creating capability, in order to activate contents improvement processes (similarly to those improvement processes typical of the software production, open-source or construction of information bases, such as – for example - WIKIPEDIA). T.EC.TRA. will therefore produce the training courseware for the CMS use, by utilizing the same schemes and communication supporting instruments adopted to transfer the sector contents. 62

EXPECTED OUTCOMES/OUTPUTS A Courseware addressed to the task of Responsible for HR Management (IT/EN) and Training finalized to acquire and develop knowledge on processing tutorial and information material, and autonomously producing and publishing courses onto the E-LASTIC Platform. The Courseware, structured in Modules and Units, will be included in the Platform training offer, with the same communication modalities of the specialized contents of the Automotive sector. 63
