More (e)wit for logistics education on inland waterway transport
Training efficiency highly depends on the effectiveness of the approaches to teaching and learning. Using information and communication technology tools for learning purposes, eLearning supports traditional didactic methods. eLearning involves a greater variety of devices like internet, intranets, computer-based technologies or interactive applications. eLearning can be customised to the needs of the individual and has the flexibility to allow studying at a place, time and location that best suit the learners. It gives the potential to provide widespread and easy access to high quality, relevant training and education.

In order to improve the use of multimedia technologies for the education on Inland Waterway Transport (IWT), a new web-based approach has been implemented for the logistics training in course of the eWIT Project. Web-based applications provide European trainers and learners an up-to-date training on Intermodal Inland Waterway Transport. This innovative training method modernises the current training methods in the inland navigation-sector, where IWT-information mostly was reduced to a few outdated technical and nautical issues. The information displayed to the user consists of text, graphs, multimedia material and interactive elements.
