New ways of teaching and learning with new educational e-content
Slovenia , 2006 to 2013
Compendium: Information and Communication Technology (ICT)
Background
Experts and research groups develop new ways of teaching and learning through preparing new e-content on the Internet (SCORM standard) in different subjects and fields. New training programmes for teachers are developed and seminars organised.
The motivation of the initiative
The motivation is the wish that teachers change their activities in classrooms and that pupils become more active in classrooms. We would like to change learning and teaching. ICT could be a tool to help teachers. But no more than 20% of teachers in the whole of Europe use it. ICT should help teachers (and parents) to encourage pupils to obtain new knowledge and competences and oversee them in the process.
Participants
Companies, research institutions, schools, non-governmental institutions, universities.
