The document discusses quality tools developed by the Revive VET consortium to help education institutions better integrate information and communication technologies (ICT). It addresses longstanding issues around measuring ICT quality and teacher skills. The consortium created criteria for assessing ICT integration at the institutional, professional, and curriculum levels. This includes ensuring support for strategies, infrastructure, training, quality assurance, and marketing. The quality tools are meant to provide transparency and openness for institutions to self-assess and conduct peer reviews of their ICT practices.

Problems addressed
• more than 15 years education institutions discuss
about necessity of integration of ICT (information

• more than 15 years education institutions agree that
teacher ICT skill development is a priority action
• more than 10 years education institutions argue how
to measure the quality of application of ICT in

ICT INTEGRATION
within an education institution
• The use of innovative ICT tools in various institutions is
different
• Few institutions have regulations on how to introduce ICT
tools and technology enhanced learning (TEL) in training
services
• Few institutions have autonomous and skilled staff to
establish and maintain TEL solutions
• Teachers needs continuous professional development on ICT
skills
• Few institutions have quality criteria for TEL curriculum
quality assurance

5. http://www.reviveproject.eu/vet/
Most common TEL solutions:
- closed Virtual Learning Environment (VLE)
- Theory publication and lecturing (video
lecturing)
- Students are requested/allowed “to ask
question” 
- - knowledge is tested

Question: how openness and
transparency of quality assurance tools
can be ensured?
Revive VET consortium reached the
agreement on commonly accepted quality
tools for ICT integration on institutional,
professional skill development and
curriculum levels

The project aims to contribute to quality assurance
systems’ development in CVET by reviewing and
reviving ICT integration practices and building online
quality community.

Project objectives
2. Methodological development and expert community building
(on all four level criteria mentioned above).
