The evaluation of the testing took place at the Centre Nautique de Lorient in the presence of people who have tested the platform for a month. They have given their views on the state of the platform and spotted the weaknesses of the platform. This allows us to advise on changes to improve the tool. As expected, the main difficulty has been the implementation of collaborative work. Some technical difficulties have also emerged, such as different levels of knowledge of ICT tools as well as organizational problems to work in pairs. |
| The evaluation was carried out by the participants with a very positive feedback. One NGO, the Association of Business Agency Development and a Website on Design Thinking were invited to the evaluation under the possibilities they can include the VOIP e-learning platform as tool for future training. |

Our call for volunteers to test the VoIP platform has been very successful. 27people have registered for training. The testing will take place from September 2 to 30 and beyond for those who wish to continue. Now an initial assessment formwas sent to candidates. It will better identify the needs of trainees and to customize the educational answers. The test consists of evaluating the platform for distance training. The concept of collaborative learning is a must for online training. It also includes a blended learning approach: online, offline, in-class,working in pairs and small groups at a distance. During training, learners will be able to use the most common tools of communication on the Internet: Skype, forums, chats, whiteboard etc.. A contact to explain the operation of the platform and detailed training objectiveswill be held on 2 September from 17 hours to 19 hours in Centre Nautique de Lorient, Quai Eric Tabarly. |
| In Bulgaria the testing process of the multi- functional platform is running without any problems. The employees, who participate in the courses are pleased with the fact that they can improve their skills and enrich their knowledge, without leaving their workplaces, which saves money and time. Know and Can Association organizes regular meetings with the tutors and the students, in order problems in the education process to be solved and additional information about the courses to be given. |
