How can we enable all the students in a school to develop their potentials? Application MAP (hands-on methods and practice-based principles for promoting individualized learning in VET) which was developed at the Institute for Vocational Education and Training within the LLL project MAPPING, is a result of mutual learning and sharing good practices among partners from Denmark, Finland, Wales, the Netherlands and Slovenia. It is intended for vocational and technical schools wishing to develop didactic models which take into account the individual characteristics of each student and thus enable them to learn in their optimal way. The basis for the application is the quality grid of individualized learning that has been developed in the project MAPPING as well. For each of the criteria from the grid, the application offers basic methodological principles, questions for self-evaluation, additional documents and AV material with examples of good practice and suggestions for further reading. Each school selects criteria in accordance with their needs and objectives. For all the criteria we were especially attentive to meaningful use of ICT. As a tool for teacher training, MOOC has been created according to the Finnish model of Dialogical Authentic Learning on the Net which systematically promotes dialogue among the participants of the study groups on the course and leads on the basis of authentic situations to the improvement of their own practice of individualized learning.
