Open Content Development as a Challenge and an Opportunity (Hungarian Case)

This paper informs about a Hungarian initiative on the innovation for the collaborative content construction process as a new methodological learning development model. The objective aim is to apply our unique concept to modernize the methodology used in vocational teacher training and practical training by creating complex learning content units. In the frame of elaborating online teaching materials, we used learning units and micro-contents as new tools. The research and development based on the recognition of creating open learning materials become in high demand in VET systems worldwide. Our project focused on local innovation where vocational teachers play an essential role. Furthermore, we realized that the new mobile communication environment based on networks and cloud services offers new applications daily for evaluation and analysis of the learning resources and micro-contents created via collaborative pedagogical activity.
