Utilisation of tablet PCs now in the practical training of welders as well

The utilisation of digital media in a way appropriate for the target groups is contributing to modern and successful training and further education. In the field of the welding engineer, GSI SLV has, for over ten years already, offered not only the traditional presence courses but also, as an alternative, the possibility of distance courses as further education measures incorporating e‑learning. Until now, it has been unusual to utilise digital media for the practical training.

In January 2015, GSI started a pilot project in which it is utilising tablet PCs in the theoretical teaching at its Niederlassung Bildungszentren Rhein-Ruhr at the location in Gelsenkirchen. The following objectives are being pursued with this project:

 

•             Up-to-date preparation of participants for the specialist qualification tests

•             Motivation to learn by utilising modern media

•             Promotion of cooperative learning

•             Improvement in the performances of the participants

With this utilisation of modern learning media, GSI would like to make, above all, young people enthusiastic about welding technology. An evaluation of the pilot project and an extension to other locations are expected in the middle of the year.
