This document presents the design guide, an explanation of the seven educational packages, and the Train-the-Trainer Manual. The insights and benefits from lessons learned during the design and piloting of the educational packages (EPs) are included.
- Toolbox design guide
This report presents how the SkillSea partnership has developed a toolbox design guide as a system of methodologies to develop curricula, review, and validation as a means of quality assurance measures to cover every sequence of EP development.
The EPs can be used in any national education institution. For that reason, they are designed to be flexible and can be
• integrated into existing curricula
• adjusted to meet the needs of different target groups
• adapted to national requirements
• used with different teaching methods. - Train-the-Trainer
The Train-the-Trainer manual is created to provide a clear overview of the objectives of the SkillSea EPs, the background for the design, and their use. - Lessons learned
This report also presents insights gained during the development process.
