characteristics of the target group. These choices also
resulted from the schedule of individual training
courses. Partial use of the components of individual
modules referred primarily to case studies but also to
units of a theoretical nature.
5 CONCLUSIONS
The solutions used in Centers of Integrated Heritage
Teaching Excellence for the purpose of adaptation of
training programmes regarding topics of
complementary fields show that the flexible creation
of new and the adaptation of existing training
programmes requires an appropriate structure of
educational content on the basis of which the training
is conducted. It is also necessary to use appropriate
tools with which the compilation of new content is
possible without the need to employ IT specialists.
The proposed model can be used in the organisation
of any training courses in which there is a need to
introduce changes in the subject matter, scope,
duration, difficulty or supported learning styles.
The modularisation of content, appropriate
structure, and technical form thereof facilitate its
multiple use in various training programmes. The
analysis of whether such characteristics of
educational materials is expected should always be
conducted before such materials are created.
Choosing inappropriate technical tools and processes
of creating digital materials may lead to obtaining
materials which are too large, i.e. which aggregate too
many content components, therefore the cohesive
components may not be easy to “carve out” from the
source material and use outside the original context.
This may also lead to obtaining materials which are
too granular, namely ones where small content
components are stored as separate assets and during
their repeated use, require structuring with the use of
e-learning platform tools via which they will be
distributed to students. Each decision regarding the
expected form of materials should result in the choice
of appropriate technical tools and support to content
creators which allows them to create materials of
appropriate methodological rigour.
