The two previous postings have presented the discussions at the Strasbourg workshop and the conclusions concerning the development of the WLP Website. This posting shifts the emphasis to the final products that are to be presented as services for the users. The first final product to be discussed in the WLP Manual.
In the original plans the idea of a "WLP Manual" was closely linked to the assumption that the use of the WLP tools and to certain organisational models for partnership cooperation between training providers and and partter enterprises. However, the work of the WLP project has brought into picture a more complex European landscape regarding partnership creation and needs for support. Therefore, the role of the WLP Manual has been reconsidered in the London workshop and I have prepared a draft version on the basis of the London conclusions.
In the light of the above the current version of the WLP Manual is not an extensive guide to the WLP tools (with many examples on the uses of tools). Instead, the revisited concept provides a "brief guide" to the knowledge resources, working instruments and support facilities theat have been developed by the WLP project. In five pages the WLP Manual covers the following themes: a) Value of workplace learning and partnership cooperation in different countries, b) Use of the results of the WLP project in the development of partnership cooperation, c) Understanding the diversity of partnership concepts and different evolutionary stages, d) Identifying different patterns for promoting networked learning, e) Changing role of web-based support for workplace learning and for related piloting, f) Use of case stories and multimedia products as means to promote nowledge sharing, g) Making targeted use of the WLP Course and of related tools and facilities, h) Conclusions and recommendations for further activities. The sixth page should contain a list of web links - both to WLP pages and to external resources. This page can be finalised when the necessary changes have been made in the architecture of the WLP website. In this context it is essential to note that the WLP Manual should be translated into all national languages. Therefore, it is important that the final text will be agreed jointly and that the partners can produce the national language versions. Pekka Kämäräinen |
