HISOLD-RO 2009 September 27 – 28, Sibiu, Romania  Multi-media learning involves active learning, both behavioral as well as cognitive, because it is a type of computer-based training that uses two or more media, including text, graphics, animation, audio (sound/music), and video.  Elect2eat and Msystech projects offer a new approach of thinking the vocational learning process: a public, performance-centered, task- oriented multi-lingual training environments. 1. Introduction

HISOLD-RO 2009 September 27 – 28, Sibiu, Romania 2. Objectives  The shortage of engineers in micro-, nano- systems and the systematic decrease of students in electronics at the university can be a threat to the European economy competitiveness.  The primary target groups concerned are: professionals from SME in electronics and micro-systems, students in engineering education and vocational schools, educated but unemployed people looking for additional training for employment.

Learn by doing - much of what we know to do in a job we learn on the job;  3. Organizational Memory - refers to the knowledge that an organization has or could have about its business and to the process it uses to acquire and recall that knowledge;  4. Technology Use - the performance support system (PSS) is a natural extension of building technologies that transform the way people work and learn. 3. The Approach

The MSYSTECH European Project  The mSysTech project is based on the positive results and experiences in two European pilot projects: Leonardo da Vinci project IPCI and Socrates/Minerva "On-line Learning Mathematics and Sciences" (OnLine Math&Sciences).  In mSysTech the performance-centred job-linked training approach will be used also and the selected content from the courses of IPCI will be adapted and up- dated for the needs of Romanian and Bulgarian electronic sector and education.  The e-learning platform used for this project is MOODLE (Modular Object-Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment).

HISOLD-RO 2009 September 27 – 28, Sibiu, Romania The EAT e-learning program has the following three modules:  Design DfM & CAD;  Components & PCBs; and  Assembling & Test. Each module is a specific web-cast with free navigation possibility, and access to more written and oral explanations, movies and videos, a photo library, self-assessment possibility etc.

HISOLD-RO 2009 September 27 – 28, Sibiu, Romania In Elect2eat, the transferred innovative content mostly appears in the form of tangible products: - The e-learning program, where the Design for Manufacturing module is included, is the most important domain of the Electronics Assembling Technology environment. - The Assessment Tool is a new initiative to use the self-assessment method of “definition matching quiz” and “picture matching quiz” of the e-learning program to examine the knowledge of the trainee.

Conclusions  With their new technology, Elect2eat and mSysTech projects move the traditional teaching systems to the closely related to the job learning.  The most important tangible outcomes are that the training centers, industrial associations and schools will be able to provide the self-learning web-based courses for both students and people of the region who are seeking for jobs in this field or are interested in continuing or convergence education for any other reasons.  The message to the teachers, to consider the impact of teaching on results, good performance and competitiveness, is another perspective of this innovation.
