Collaboratories
16 Decembris 2002
The aim of the project is to provide infrastructures for collaborative work in child education.
In COLLABORATORIES project the major challenge is to find ways to support children in building and testing models collaboratively across European cultures and beyond. Our objectives are to provide infrastructure for collaborative work; to provide answers for guiding research questions: with whom, how and what kinds of knowledge should children learn at a distance and how best can they be supported in this learning; and to develop learning tools that can be transferable into other domains.
Activities:
· Learning platform that embeds 'active web' materials created by software authoring tool (Imagine), taking learners to the leading edge of what is possible with ICT.
· Llocalised versions of Imagine and guides for learners adapted to their own language.
· Networked laboratories to exploit the connectivity of the web for collaborative construction, setting up new multicultural, multilingual and multimodal approaches to computing, learning and communicating basic competences and creative constructions.
· Evaluating tools, methodology and activities to find 'whether', 'how' and 'why' learning and progress in collaborative skills can occur.
· Teacher training guides enhancing the knowledge and expertise in supporting activities.
· Disseminating 'active web' material in several European languages.
The main target group are students, teachers and teacher training institutions.

The Situation of ICT in the Candidate Countries
16 Janvāris 2003
All candidate countries have undertaken a clear and tangible political commitment to facilitate the implementation of the Information Society.
The enlargement negotiations reached a successful conclusion during the Copenhaguen European Council Summit held on 12-13 December. The Europe of 15 Member States will become in May 2004 the Europe of 25 countries following the accession of Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Poland, the Slovak Republic and Slovenia.
A pertinent question related to e-learning perspective should be: what is the ICT situation in the candidate countries? The eEurope+ Progress Report, presented in June 2002, examine some ICT indicators and benchmark the implementation of the eEurope+ Action Plan in the central and eastern countries. A quick glance to the main results helps to draw the enlargement of Europe from the ICT point of view:
1. All candidate countries have undertaken a clear and tangible political commitment to facilitate the implementation of the Information Society. The candidate countries’ Information Society websites give useful information about the policies and initiatives currently undertaken.
2. Considerable progress is being made with the implementation of coherent and effective policy and regulatory framework. Over the last years, the candidate countries have made great strides in basic access to communications.
3. The costs of the Internet access vary widely in candidate countries. Costs are considered relatively high, and that means lower regular usage.
4. With a few exceptions, there is still a low penetration of computers in schools. In addition, there is substantial divergence between the countries for all three levels (primary, secondary, and tertiary)
5. In many countries, the lack of access facilities motivates that public access points remain a very important means of Internet access for the population at large.
6. Significant progress is made in the provision of public on-line services through e-Government actions in all of the candidate countries.
7. Overall, it can be said that there are considerable divergences between the candidate countries in absolute terms.

Web Dance for All using advanced E-learning tools
12 Decembris 2002
It will focus on developing a new Web3D platform that will promote new e-learning dance methodologies in secondary school, with particular focus on traditional dance.
In the context of cultural education, a number of initiatives exists focusing mainly on subject such as history, literature, and visual arts. Less effort has been directed towards the development of e-learning environments that address the learning needs of ''interactive'' subject such as dance (and in particular traditional European dance), that require the communication of media-rich information and whose learning involves more than the development of cognitive skills for the user.
The resource is intended to introduce greater flexibility in dance education curricula, promote the use of learning software in a normally non-technical discipline and promote independent learning by students.
Web3D blends the intuitive sense of space and time with user interface interaction and programming language integration producing a truly new and exciting technology for the internet. A set of pilot dance event from Greece and England will be selected for testing and evaluating the generic technologies that will be developed within the project.
The e-learning model that will be developed in this project will draw on existing e-learning metadata standards (e.g., NCMETADATA), with the aim to develop a web-based teaching resource methodology for multicultural, dance e-learning.

The Knowledge and Information Skills needed for living in the Digital Age
12 Decembris 2002
The objective of the project is to establish a European framework for defining information skills and a curriculum appropriate for living and learning in the digital age.
Its objective is to identify the key metaskills and metaknowledge needed for living in the digital age, to explore digital tools and artifacts and pedagogic practices that can lead to the development of broad digital literacy, to develop a framework for the description of curricula in terms of the Information/metaknowledge they encompas, to develop curriculum in information technology.
Production of guidelines for curriculum action (reform, the design of teaching schemes or individual learning activities). They will be supported by replicable exemplar activities across curricular contexts which explicitly develop metaskills and metaknowledge in the design and development of modelling activities and communicative multimedia capable of being taught within the framework of education systems in member states. These case studies and guidelines will also be re-framed as professional development of teachers.
Diessemination activities: seminars for stakeholders, a face to face and video-streamed symposium with the capability of synchronous and asynchronous participation over the internet, recommendations for policy and practice (on paper and web) and a range of networking activities.
Target groups: policy makers, teachers and other educators and the producers of digital resources. Primary, secondary and vocational education learners.

TV Programme for Students by Students on the Web
12 Decembris 2002
Web TV for Schools project aims at the development of the appropriate pedagogical framework for the introduction of methods of informal learning in the school curriculum.
In the framework of the project a network composed by technologists (University Departments of Computer Science and specialists in the field of audiovisual productions) together with pedagogues (University Departments of Pedagogy and Cognitive Science) and users (a network of European secondary schools) will develop a Web TV platform.
Students will collaborate in order to present to their virtual classmates programs created by themselves, promoting aspects of everyday life, school life, customs, monuments, cultural activities and events taking place in their countries. They will select an aspect of their country's culture to promote, will then collect the content and prepare the emission with the support of specialists in the field of audiovisual productions. The WebTV for schools learning environment will act as stimuli for intercultural dialogue between the schools participating in the project, as the starting point for discussion and exchange of ideas about culture, Europe, national and European identity.
The project will be implemented in two cycles of school centered work in a school network in six different countries that will also allow for an ethnographic research and evaluation of different attitudes against the use of advanced technologies in different cultures providing ways for intercultural dialogue to improve these attitudes.
The combination of Web TV, a low cost Internet access solution with basic communication capabilities offered by the Internet and a small number of high end computers with software widely used in the audiovisual world will provide teachers, students, parents and members of the local communities with access to expanded sources of information and common tools.
