“eLearning is very new for us but I enjoy this way of learning and I can see a lot of potential to use it with our students” said one of the teachers who is participating in the this week’s training of trainers in Ethiopia. DGS and Solar Energy Foundation - Ethiopia assisted ADRA Deutschland e.V. and ADRA Ethiopia to develop the eLearning course “Solar PV System Installation and Maintenance” for Ethiopian TVET colleges. ADRA recognised that this course is a great resource not only for eLearning, but also for blended learning.
DGS, together with its partner SEF, was tasked to introduce the technology to the Ethiopian teachers. The goal is now that everyone familiarises themselves with the eLearning and then jointly develop a concept for blended learning that works in the Ethiopian context and can be integrated with the solar training at the respective colleges. Half-way through, we can say that there are unexpected challenges, but nothing we can’t sort out and that the motivation level of the teachers is incredible!
Thanks to ADRA Norge and ADRA Ethiopiaopia in supporting the implementation of the solar training in the frame of the TRACC project sponsored by the Kavlifondet, in preparing the ground for a nation-wide rollout of the eLearning course “Solar PV System Installation and Maintenance” at Ethiopian TVET collages.
