The Captains e-courses, as stipulated in the project proposal, have been developed
for all three Units of the Captains course, which focuses upon Communicative Maritime
English learning. These e-courses are published and available for registered users
on project partner AIT's innovative e-learning 2.0 system, Kwebo, at
http://kwebo.ait.gr:8081,
which accommodates for collaborative
learning activities, including synchronous and asynchronous communication tools,
forums, wikis, blogs, video-conferencing, shared folder systems, virtual classrooms,
and more. The Captains e-courses have been designed and developed in full consideration
of the tools available on Kwebo, thus providing a unique learning experience overall
to respective learner communities and immense facilitation and accessibility to
tutors of Maritime English themselves.
The Captains e-courses are now live on the Kwebo platform, with access available
on request for seafarers and VET institution members. User credentials
are available by completing the form found
here, the data of which is used to analyse interest in the product in terms
of target group demographics.
Furthermore, the Captains product is available as functional, standalone modules,
which do not require access to the Kwebo system, and promote self-learning. These
are available on DVD or as a download from the Captains product website. Those interested
in participating in this self-study can complete the form found here to register interest and receive access.
