  3. eLearning (1) Actions in the school area • Axe 1: Infrastructures and research • Observation of uses (eWatch, Spot +, DELOS) to better understand innovation • Networking of the more innovative laboratories in the field of eLearning • The ‘School of the future’ projects (IST) • Experimental School Environment (ESE)

  4. eLearning (2) Actions in the school area • Axe 2: The teachers' training • Projects: Learnett, Recreasup, odette, etc. • eLearning focus workshop on ‘Teacher training and ICT’ - The CEDEFOP project TT-Net

  5. eLearning (3) Actions in the school area • Axe 3.

  7. Some general ISSUES (1) • e-Learning is not Learning-e • Technology always outpaces Pedagogy • Communication and co-operation are not obvious • New conflicts, new forms of exclusion

  8. ISSUES(2)on technology • Virtual and physical architectures? • Will computers really disappear (soft lab, new language labs) • Screens / Digital camera • Talking machines • Artefacts • Stage technologies • New kinds of « workshops » • How the school will be designed?

  9. ISSUES (3) around pedagogy • Open classrooms require new abilities: planning; networking; group work; etc. • Autonomy is not an outcome of ICT supported learning, it is a condition to successful uses of ICT in learning • Certification systems, evaluation are not in line with the « open » pedagogies • ICT may reinforce traditional evaluation (e.g. in US) • Difficult match between constructionnism and current organisations and curricula

  10. ISSUES (4)around funding • Funding innovation. • Opening on free/paying resources? • Setting up and maintaining services • Human resources for building bridges • New profiles, external experts (e.g. researchers, scientists) • Sustainability of « partnerships » • L.T. value of public/private partners

  11. ISSUES (5)around education • Analysing the learners’ needs and opportunities in personal, social, economic terms • Defining educational pathways, adapted to the learner • Designing education and e-learning in starting from the learner

  12. Peer-reviewing starting from the concrete future objectives of education and training systems • Increasing the quality and effectiveness of education and training systems inthe European Union • Facilitating the access of all to the education and training systems • Opening up education and training systems to the wider world
