Motivating Students or Teachers?

Challenges for a Successful Implementation of Online-Learning in Industry-Related Vocational Training

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNPSE,volume 8095))

Abstract

In this paper we present our findings from the FoodWeb2.0 project about success indicators and restraints while implementing Web2.0 based learning processes. We conducted two courses with the same content with two different target groups from the German food industry: one with regular employees and one with teachers of dedicated education facilities. Comparing the performance of the two courses by triangulating methods from Social Network Analysis and quantitative and qualitative surveys, we identified indicators for the successful implementation and differences in the motivation of learners and teachers. These findings illustrate the need for strategies involving and motivating teachers when introducing modern learning methods and tools within the food industry and other related branches.
