Teletraining traditionally is related to
distance learning and delineates a perspective of education
related only to the aspect of computer-communication technology
of distance education, that is referred to the separation of
teacher and students in space/ time, and also to the
methodologies improving electronic materials for instruction (see
for instance: http://sky.fit.qut.edu.au/DataComms/Teach/units.972/itn530/ass/jeya/trans.htm
Following the above traditional approach, teletraining
methodology works as an expansion of academic courses in a new
technological context of the long distant communication.
Now it will be easy to understand that the
historical model of education conflicts with the requirements of
the new development of post-industial society of information.
As a fundamental outcome of the paradigm shift from industrial to
post-industrial information interactive society, we can forecast
the necessity to overcome the strong conceptual
"distance" from future scenarios of the productive S.M.
enterprises, into a world-wide globalization of the economy and
the youth’s professional employment all over the world.
Therefore we need to look forward to a strategy that can be
usefull to modify the conceptual context of traditional education
transferred from the traditional schooling systens to the
computer based long distance teletraining.
Within the Project TASTI (the acronym of: "Telematic Agency of Scientific and Tecnological Information" realized with PIN in Prato - Italy), we start to develop a new plan for post-doctoral studies in wich teletraining is strictly coordinated with an advanced project of case studies and workshops finalized to explore the research & development new conditions of smool and medium enterprises, in the Tuscany area in Italy, when they begin to be inserted in the process of globalization of market. (see: http://www.pin.rete.toscana.it/tasti/)
In this brief synthesis we underline that,
the main difference between the traditional way of thinking to
teletraining of long distance education, concetrated on the
trasmission of academic conservative knowledge , and the new
approach improved within the project TASTI by
LRE/PIN/EGO-CreaNET, consists in the integration of
"teletraining and
telework" in the field of research & developmental
studies of S.M. productive enterprises. In this way the main goal
of project TASTI is to modify the typical separation of the
traditional cognitive structure of industrial society among
research,education,development and emplojment.
Nowadays LRE/EGO-CreaNet Telematic Association, starting from the
experience maturated on the project TASTI in Tuscany area, will
improve an international project named "Creativity on Line
for Labour", as a teletraining/telework experience at very
hight qualified professionality for growing an international
manager personality and improving management of organizational
change, by means a common global
communication research & development among Europe Cuba and
Latin America. (see attached preliminary informations.)

CREATIVITY ON LINE FOR LABOUR (TELEMATIC PERFORMING)
titled: "CoL-TELE-Labour"
Note: The Project
"COL-TELE-Labour" can be seen as an extension of the
regional project TASTI: see: http://www.pin.rete.toscana.it/tasti/
Creativity on line for implementing labour in the www will be a
project able to follow the historical developmental requirements
of the interactive information society.
The main goal of the "CoL-TELE-Labour" project will be
the metamorphisis de la information in creative knowledge.
The strategy of the research &development project
"CoL-TELE-Labour" will betraining new telematic
employment at very hight qualification with the aim to advance to
the post-industrial society.
We consider that the telework get a possibility to improve new
jobs (as partial time employment) and also that telework can
delineate a system of education for the creation the new
professions for the youth strongly in contact with the needs of
productive development.
We substain also that the telework will be a new kind of work
that requires the creation of new enterprises and new telematic
agencies.
Following the above comments and aims we can develop the project
CoL-TELE-Labour starting from the idea to connect Europa with
America Latina by means an developmental research on the impact
of telework on the following areas:
The project "Col-TELE-Labour" will be presented to the European Community and to private agency to obtain financial aids (see: http://cordis.lu/)
