The Tenegen pedagogical model based on the experiences of NETIS project.
Methodology basics:
"Connectivism considers learning as a process in which the role of informal information exchange, organised into networks and supported with electronic tools, becomes more and more significant. Students can significantly improve the efficiency of their learning if they take part in a network, or virtual community dealing with the given subject."

•co-operation based teaching/learning environment,•network communication and knowledge share systems •put the connectivism learning theory into practice
Begining
The focus of the training model…
They will learn why it is so important for the NET Generation “to be connected”.

Obstacles of connectivism and questions of the Obstacles of connectivism and questions of the curriculumcurriculumCritical remark about the connectivism based courses:
• The course can be successful for those who has strong level of IT knowledge and knows web tehcnologies well.
• The connectivism methods are not applicable for formal, institutional public education.
Our experiences (Tenegen survey)
• Teachers don’t have up to date knowledge in the field of IT knowledge, ICT tools and web applications.
• They don’t use the community cooperation, ineractive activities based on connectivism model.
• Almost none of them knows about the community channels, web 2.0 tools which are important for active news and knowledge exchange (RSS, twitter, e-portfolio etc.)
TENEGEN LLP-LDV-TOI-2008-HU-016
The participants assessed the digital forms of traditional learning as the most useful components:
•weekly learning instructions•books, theoretical summaries•tutorial videos
They assessed the connectivism and network learning components less useful:•social bookmarking•discussion forums•games•self assesment tests

Overall in the Tenegen Traning Model The traditional knowledge share methodes widen with the connectivism learning theory aspect.
E-learning1.0 and E-elarning 2.0 formulas complete each other.
E-learning 1.0
This form of education, eLearning 1.0, is actually the technologically
supported variant of traditional knowledge distribution, the virtual
extension of textbooks and classroom teaching. It is the digital version of
traditional learning. Even in this environment, learning
remained a passive process, managed from above or outside.
E-learning 2.0
This is an information exchange and information generatation based on
cooperation, the students activities and associative learning into networks and supported with electronic tools. In this way students participate as a content providers in the knowledge process.

To know the portals way, and using ICT tools were the preconditions to fulfil the course requirements.How can we teach it?
eLearning 1.0 - materials, manuals, help, videoseLearning 2.0 - exchange of experiences between the participants, learning diaries, reflections to them, comments, blog, forums
Defining Net Generation
eLearning 1.0 - study about the Net Generation, articleseLearning 2.0 - Net Generation survey in collaborative work, establish common position, blog entries and reflections about Net Generation, disscussion forum
Web 2.0 tools and their application in educational practice
eLearning 1.0 - presentation materials, text, tutorial videoseLearning 2.0 - blog entries about web 2.0 tools, comments, reflections, Overview each other's materials, ideas, inspirations
