A Case Study in Vocational Education Vasiliki Ragazou* *(Department Early Childhood and Education, University of Thessaly, Volos, Greece Email: ragazou@uth.gr) ----------------------------------------************************---------------------------------- Abstract: E-learning is nowadays a promising place to improve both modern and asynchronous education. The most widely used tools for asynchronous e-learning today are the Content Learning Management Systems, which are Internet-based platforms that allow teachers to manage and distribute their educational material efficiently. Also, they can be used for communication between teachers and students.The aim of this paper is duple. First, this study explores the attitudes of forty students, who attend computer science course in an Institute of Vocational Training (IVT), on e-learning and study learning material through learning platform Moodle. Secondly, this study investigates presentation and teaching methods using the Moodle in the context of IVT. According to the study results and the students' opinions, e-learning can be a useful tool both for teachers and learners to achieve better results in the educational process. Furthermore, students can face learning as an opportunity to strengthen and promote self-efficacy, adulthood, independence, self- assessment and self-development. Keywords —distance learning, Moodle, vocational learning. ----------------------------------------************************---------------------------------- I. INTRODUCTION Utilizing new technologies in conjunction with the new pedagogical methods used opens up new avenues for learning (e.g. [8]). In recent years, many studies have focused mainly on learning technology, online learning and computer learning (e.g. [4]). Adult education is included in all scheduled teaching and learnings activities. They aim at the integrated personal development and creative integration of adults based on age, their social roles, and their self-perception as individuals, workers and active citizens in socio-political, cultural and economic development (e.g. [10]). A learning method is and on a postages learning (eLearning) which is increasingly used in higher education seems to result in a significant shift in the way in which information is accessed by modulating an inexhaustible source of easily material accessible and renewable (e.g. [11]). Penetration in distance learning shows an increasing trend in our country in higher education (e.g. [1]). Besides, recent years have seen keen interest in both primary and secondary education. For example, lately, University Institutions have been providing educational seminars on the use of such technologies to teachers of the respective levels. However, it seems not to have the same effects on adult training schools, such as public IVT as we are in embryos I party stage as, regarding the use of the tools on a distance learning. The work then analyzes research data as they emerged from the students' responses, and then presents ways to use the Moodle platform that has been implemented on the one hand to enhance teaching and on the other hand learning.
