Abstract

The Vocational Education and Training (VET) curriculum aims to provide students with the necessary skills to make them employable and successful in their specialties. Therefore, an increasing number of VET curricula are employing various resources to equip students with 21st century skills such as critical thinking, creativity, communication, collaboration, and information literacy. In this paper, we explore the key dimensions of active learning for empowering and enriching Collaboration, Individual Empowerment, and Development of the apprentices' learning processes through Teaching and Learning Analytics (TLA), in a Learning Management System (LMS) for VET apprenticeships. We describe in detail 'how TLA can 'work' in a VET environment, and we present how we organize the TLA methodology inside the proposed LMS. © 2020 IEEE.
