Abstract
In 2010/2011 The School of Electrotechnics Zagreb and Electromechanical School Varaždin have implemented the IPA project With Flexible Learning Approach and Curricula Innovations towards the Labour Market supported by Croatian Agency for Vocational Education and Training. Flexible learning model implements significant changes to the existing school curricula. Using e-learning tools, it provides students with the opportunity to choose own pace and direction of studies. The project also provides direct student contact with small, medium and large businesses thus creating close connections between vocational training and employment. This case study explores challenges associated with implementing flexible learning approach in secondary technical education using e-learning tools with a special accent to teacher training and student satisfaction. Based on involvement of schools from different parts of Croatia, strong support by national Agency for Vocational Education and Training and European character of the project, authors are convinced that results of this study can be generalized to other vocational schools in Croatia and beyond.
