I have just got that information from one person who did the self-assessment:

http://abakhan.blogspot.com/2008/10/self-assesment-quizzes.html

The catalog as well as the methodology were presented and discussed at a vocational school with the following feedbacks from the teachers:

• handling: good, some misunderstandings regarding the button names practical relevance: very important topic but difficult to transmit to students which do not have a clear understanding of the importance of those things for themselves some
• website layout is too boring for students, some more graphics would be appreciated
• words/phrases, such as innovative, morally/ethical, dysfunctional conflicts needs to be explained to students for a common understanding
• after receiving the self-assessment students did not really understand the result and wanted to have more explanations and general information how to develop their competencies
• Teachers combined further lessons with some aspects of self and external perception and explained the general procedures of an AC. They will work on the understanding of the competencies and will repeat the self assessments at the end of the school year.

There is a big wish and need for further information about the development of those strategical skills during vocational education.

I uploaded pictures from our last project meeting on my flickr account. It was nice meeting you in Nida, hope to see you again in other projects, at other places....

Two workshops were held with people from industry and people from research to review the methodology. Overall the comments were posative. More specific findings will be posted later.

Yesterday, I have received the CD's with the methodology. Of course, I tried everything and sent the first 25 CDs to a vocational school.

One remark from my side: If you start the CD a web server will be started at your computer. This would be difficult in companies environments because usually their firewalls are configured to not allow this.

A dissemination event will take place in the meeting room of the  Center for Vocational Training "Znanie" at 16:00h. Teachers, lectureres and evaluators have been invited.

Pictures from the event are coming soon.

Info about IV meeting will appear soon in www !!!

Nice holydays!!!

Attached the short summary of the presentations we had at the American Business School in Paris.

We try to continue in September with the presentation of the assessment methodology.

I started the translation of the games yesterday because I had a four hours stay on Munich airport and I translated until my batteries were empty...
