Go-Lab 317601 Page 4 of 87 Go-Lab G9.3 Report of Dissemination and Exploitation Activities (Year 2) Executive Summary In the Go-Lab project, WP9 “Dissemination and Exploitation” aims at promoting the project and its results among different groups of stakeholders in order to support the dissemination and im- plementation of these results and assure their sustainability after the project time. To do this, WP9 conducts various online and offline dissemination activities, establishes and supports con- tact to potential end-users as well as other important stakeholders like Ministries of Education and online lab providers, cooperates with other projects, communities and standardization bod- ies for inquiry learning technology, and creates information and supportive materials (including an online course) for teachers allowing them to understand and use the project outcomes in their everyday teaching practice. In the Year 2, WP9 updated the contents of the project website representing the newest project developments and actively used online channels to disseminate them. Go-Lab online communi- ty demonstrated significant growth compared to the Year 1: the website was visited by 20,358 users (compare to 1,460 in Year 1), 138 users subscribed to the project newsletter (34 in Year 1), and the total number of newly joined Go-Lab online community members lies by 753 users (121 in Year 1)1. The number of offline dissemination activities is similar to the Year 1 (which can be explained by availability of organizers and participants): 54 presentations of the project reaching 3,422 participants were given, 40 workshops and events involving 1,356 participants were organized by the project, plus 18 joint events reaching 953 participants were organized in cooperation with other communities and consortia, and finally project’s booths at conferences and exhibitions addressed about 15,000 people. In addition, the project created a Smart Show explaining the project in a simple way (and provided with subtitles in seven languages) and sev- eral demo-videos. The work on the Go-Lab MOOC for teachers has started. Implementation of the Go-Lab project is supported by Ministries of Education (MoEs) in Greece, Portugal, Spain, and Belgium. Actions to involve Dutch and Swiss MoEs are being taken (see Section 2.4.3). Furthermore, to strengthen the standardization and adaptation of the project re- sults, Go-Lab members are involved in the IEEE Working Group P18761 on Networked Smart Learning Objects for Online Laboratories working on standardization of the technology on differ- ent levels (see Section 3.5.1). Finally, preparation of the actions supporting sustainability and exploitation of the project results has started by creating a strategy for the whole consortium and its particular members, described in Section 3 of this Deliverable. 1 All numbers excluding project members Go-Lab 317601 Page 5 of 87 Go-Lab G9.3 Report of Dissemination and Exploitation Activities (Year 2) Table of Contents 1 Introduction..............................................................................................................................8 2 Dissemination Plan and Report ..............................................................................................9 2.1 Correspondence to the dissemination strategy ............................................................. 9 2.2 Online Dissemination Activities .....................................................................................11 2.2.1 Project website and blog ............................................................................................ 11 2.2.2 Golabz Repository ...................................................................................................... 15 2.2.3 Social media channels ............................................................................................... 16 2.2.4 Project newsletter ....................................................................................................... 19 2.2.5 External channels and online press releases ............................................................. 19 2.2.6 Go-Lab Smart Show and videos ................................................................................. 20 2.2.7 Go-Lab Mini Video Contest ........................................................................................ 21 2.3 Go-Lab MOOC .................................................................................................................22 2.3.1 Aims, format and structure of the course .................................................................... 22 2.3.2 OCW-Platform and course administration .................................................................. 24 2.3.3 Content development and update .............................................................................. 26 2.4 Offline Dissemination Activities .....................................................................................27 2.4.1 Dissemination activities by countries .......................................................................... 27 2.4.2 Presentations, workshops, and booths ....................................................................... 29 2.4.3 Synergy actions with related organizations ................................................................. 31 2.4.4 Dissemination among Ministries of Education ............................................................ 32 2.4.5 Scientific publications ................................................................................................. 32 2.4.6 Dissemination materials ............................................................................................. 34 2.5 Key Performance Indicators ...........................................................................................35 2.5.1 Online Dissemination ................................................................................................. 35 2.5.2 Offline Dissemination ................................................................................................. 38 3 Sustainability and Exploitation Plan .................................................................................... 40 3.1 Project sustainability and exploitation plan ..................................................................40 3.1.1 Planned exploitable results .......................................................................................

    WE EMPOWER www.im-c.com Virtual Classrooms Seamlessly integrated into IMC Learning Suite imc AG – Online classroom training – live and in real-time Virtual Classrooms – where learning happens Numerous companies now focus on blended learning as part of their corporate training strategy. Blended learning combines typical classroom training and e- learning. This allows us to better design the training in a more efficient and diversified manner, and, to achieve stated training goals quickly. Travel expenses are typically incurred for both participants, as well as for the trainer, for conducting physical classroom training. The companies must frequently bear accommodation and additional expenses, making this form of training expensive. A virtual classroom offers the perfect alternative in order to avoid these costs, whilst also offering many other benefits. Virtual classrooms have found their way into vocational training as a stand-alone solution. Several companies benefit from the advantages of communication in real- time, for example through text chat, file sharing, audio and video broadcasts. As a leading full service provider for digital training, IMC AG has sound knowledge and experience regarding the significance of integrated training solutions, and now offers seamless integration of the following four virtual classrooms into IMCs Learning Management System (LMS), IMC Learning Suite: » Adobe Connect » GoToMeeting » GoToWebinar » OpenMeetings 2 imc AG – Online classroom training – live and in real-time How does a virtual classroom work in LMS? Whether a time-critical compliance training, a descriptive product demonstration, or a coordination requiring a lot of interaction – a virtual classroom integrated into the IMC Learning Suite enables targeted allocation of online sessions to relevant users.
