Guide for piloting the EKT intelligent system for In-School Placement The EKT pilot is the key activity of the project where universities in five countries (Spain, England, Austria, Ireland and Portugal) will apply the EKT methodology and the e-learning system in the development of the in-school teaching practices of the Student Teachers of the five Faculties / Colleges of Education. The five university institutions in the EKT consortium participating in the EKT pilot are: • Universidad de Santiago de Compostela (Spain) • Pädagogische Hochschule Wien (Austria) • Marino Institute of Education (Ireland) • Universidade do Minho (Portugal) • University of Plymouth (UK) Partner universities will embed the EKT methodology and resources into their existing teaching programmes, and will engage all relevant stakeholders i.e. Academic Mentors, School Mentors, University and School Coordinators, and Student Teachers. The pilot testing phase will help provide crucial information about the methodology, platform, resources, and online training and will inform the final design. The advantage of the pilot testing is that it will enable project partners to see what works well for the target audience and which methods and approaches are appropriate. This pilot testing will provide information that will enable decision to be made regarding the final design of the EKT learning platform and online tutorials. This document aims to provide guidance on the process, tasks and responsibilities for each participant of the pilot implementation phase. This is to ensure that a common path is followed in each pilot organization. However, it is expected that each pilot implementation will be different as it should take into account the national rules, regulations and programe requirements.
