The project will be addressing the need for Key Stage 5 provision for learners with health needs. In addition, it will be appropriate for transition phases where learners are between schools. The second focus will be raising attainment and outcomes for English Maths, Science and ICT for all. The project works alongside existing resources to synthesise an innovative central hub for online education, as well as providing original resources and lessons. The project is being moved forward by a small project group, with full staffing to be implemented on rollout. We are keen to work with our European partners who are doing similar research and work in their regions to share best practice and opportunities across the countries. Type of partners We are keen to work with organisations who have wanted?

In an exploratory study we finished in spring 2015, we analysed 19 Flemish good practices. A remarkable conclusion was that all good practices were similar, mainly focusing on differentiation on the content- and process-level. We hardly found any examples of differentiating on the interest-level nor on the product- level. We also have particular interest in using the tablet for the inclusion-purpose for pupils with specific educational needs. This project aims to explore good practices in different EU-countries. We also want to ‘fill the gaps’, and create new educational designs in international teacher-design- teams following the design-based-research-methodology. This will also broaden and deepen the expertise of participants and school-teams in order to realize educational innovation.

This environment targets last-year secondary school pupils and higher education freshmen, typically learners who are expected to master a series of basic and applied research skills. Its design and development is accomplished via co- creation based upon a partnership between the intended users, content experts, instructional designers and technology developers. The final environment and its contents, along with the accessory documentation will be made available as open source materials. The learning environment is set up to be integrated in a fully online or a blended instructional approach, and it encompasses five main components. These components are identified as being facilitators for effective, self-regulated learning in an online or blended environment: (1) adaptive multimedia learning contents, (2) an adaptive assessment and feedback system, (3) a series of communication, interaction and community building tools, (4) learning analytics tools, and (5) a toolbox for (pre-)training of self-regulated learning skills and e-skills.

Very often refugees have own digital devices (e.g. mobile phones) which can be used for language learning in a quick and simple way by providing special apps (translation programs, language teaching software).

It gathers an international expert panel from academia and educational practitioners to produce a survey-based system to be deployed by field workers in higher and secondary education. The system aims at monitoring blended learning activities and gauging related self-assessments on a regular basis, in different educational programs, targeting both the teacher and learner’s experiences and views on various facets of blended learning (such as course persistence, motivational and performance factors, technology evaluations, ..). Using multiple standardized dimensions and indicators, a considerable amount of concrete data stemming from several countries can recurrently be gathered and analysed to support educational policy- making and schools’ instructional efforts, and to stimulate cross-country progress and exchange of best-practices.

Unemployment rates have increased, and individuals who cannot afford courses offered by formal learning institutes, tend by themselves, or with their peers, acquire skills required from a labor market in constant change. Therefore, in Portugal, according to data from the National Institute of Statistics, the population Unemployed estimated at 712,000 people, of which 286,000 are part young aged between 15 and 34 years. In response to this situation, this project pretends to identify and explore digital 2.0 tools which will potentiate learning skills required for the labor market. It will also identify and make a proposal of sets of competencies to develop by adult learners answering the needs of the labor market. The Project will define and implement in a pilot action a reference guide of the skills that can ensure the employability of working-age adults, through the development of non-formal and informal learning throughout life in order to certify people with the skills required by the labour market and their relevance for the economy and contribution to a cohesive society.

Consequently, it is becoming increasingly difficult for these pre-service teachers to pass the first year of their study, let alone to obtain a diploma. Therefore the University College Ghent decided to rethink the curriculum of the bachelor teacher training of (pre-)primary education and to engage more in teaching methods such as problem-directed assignments or working in peer groups; and to enhance self-regulated learning strategies. In this context, we would like to conduct a remediation project by designing an online learning environment which is adapted to the needs of our incoming students. In particular, we want to offer our students a set of digital learning tools that matches their learning needs and is congruent with their learning phase. Type of partners We would like to partner with other teacher educators wanted? (type of who are facing the same challenges or who already have organisation and extensive experience in this domain.

Where developing the active citizenship in school has been based on forms of representativeness, technology gives possibilities to develop bottom-up activities of democracy in school. Different kind of “on line” applications (voting systems, open discussion, open decision-making processes, voice for pupil) could be reality in schools from technological viewpoints.</p><p>Technology also makes possible students’ ownership towards their own learning when they have more influence in their own learning process, like discussing with other students and teachers on the contents and methods of learning.

European Commission). Yet, (10 lines) international research has shown that young people do not show interest in traditional politics and lack the knowledge and skills to participate in the public mediatized debate (ICCS, 2009) in which they are confronted with many different – often conflicting – perspectives. To prepare teachers for dealing with this new reality, rhetoric is often proposed as an important topic in teacher training. Specifically argumentation theory and the accompanying communication skills can help people to understand, analyze and frame messages and opinions. The main goal of this research project is to develop research about and create a prototype for a game or interactional tool that can improve citizenship education, by helping young people to grasp and practice the basic principles of rhetoric and argumentation theory.

For this purpose, it will use already existing experiences of the different project partners. This project wants to establish a new and flexible teacher-training course that is useful in all participating but also in other countries. It will show that discussing and judging the quality of mobile teaching and learning is an actual question in all European countries.</p><p>A huge amount of excellent computer aided teaching and learning material already exists in Europe, but there is far less experience (and also competence) at using these materials effectively within regular classroom activities and outside. This is especially true with respect to getting girls and boys interested to study science, and motivated to get acceptable learning results. Recent research results from science education show, that there are good chances for improving the classroom practice if the materials are appropriately used and adapted to the specific needs within the schools. A transfer of those results into teaching practice within Europe would be useful and should be organised by this project. Since teaching practice differs within the different European countries, it will be developed as a concept of culture oriented support activities. International scientists and teachers, experienced within this field, could work together and adapt their nationally oriented ideas and research results to other needs.
