1 Technology Enhanced Learning Change of European Research Perspective

2 ICT for Education and Training: major initiatives at EU level Policy Areas i2010, The European Qualifications Framework, e-skills Financial Instruments Lifelong Learning Programme ( 7bn) FP7 7 th Research Framework Programme ( 9bn ICT) Research and Technological development: Technology-enhanced learning

3 Unit E.3 Unit E.3 manages the funding of research projects under FP7, programme Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). 'Technology-enhanced learning' is one objective (4.2) under Challenge 4 Digital libraries and content Call 1: 6 TEL Projects (started 02-04/2008), Call 3: 7 TEL Projects (currently in contract preparation phase) FP6, 32 TEL Projects (some will run until 2010)

4 What we mean by Technology Enhanced Learning TEL is about studying how technologies improve the way individuals, organisations and communities learn how we apply the acquired knowledge to our situations, to solve our problems and challenges The overall aim is to increase learning efficacy and to create a body of evidence as to which approach works, under which circumstances

5 Context of Objective 4.2 Technology Enhanced Learning Knowledge Society: The changing nature of our society and the way we do business Modes of interaction: The way we will learn and the way we will experience life in the future Requirements: The skills and knowledge needed to operate in very different environments

6 Rationale Overall Meeting the Demands of Education in 21 st Century - Contributing to fight learning disengagement (e.g. science, math) Learning and Innovation, Creativity, Productivity Foster Competitiveness of European Players Research From research to innovation: Support for technology transfer and take-up Validation showcasing, best practices Mobilising a more extended research community Overcoming barriers for new entrants

7 Key Elements of the Work Programme Learning in the 21 st Century 2. Reinforce Links between Individual and Organisational Learning 3. Adaptive and Intuitive Systems 4. Revolutionary Learning Appliances, including Toys 5. Interdisciplinary Networks 6. Awareness building and Knowledge Management

8 a) Learning in the 21st Century Topics Future Classroom Individualization and Collaboration Foster Creativity and Expressiveness Increasingly active, reflective & independent learning activities Research Innovation in Learning and Teaching Take change processes into account Relevant new summative and formative assessment methods

9 b) Links between individual and organisational learning Embedding learning experiences in organisational processes and practices Solutions which cover talent, knowledge, workflow, collaborative innovation and competence management Effectiveness of learning content New forms of collective intelligence Deepened understanding of the role of ICT for creativity, informal learning and collaboration

10 c) Adaptive and Intuitive Systems for Learning New forms of assessing learning outcomes Feedback and guidance mechanisms (innovative diagnostic techniques) Advances in the combination of simulation, story telling and collaborative learning May relate to serious games and immersive environments

11 d) Revolutionary Learning Appliances, incl. toys Promote specific cognitive processes or abilities Address specific social and learning problems In the field of science, technology and mathematics Or specific tasks that impose high cognitive demands

12 e) Interdisciplinary Networks On specific emerging trends (e.g. serious games, mobility and learning, sense making) Linking established excellences and learning labs Using appropriate mechanisms for cross-fertilisation between disciplines Should leverage national research activities Achieve demonstrable visibility at international level

13 f) Awareness building and knowledge management On results of EU RTD projects in the field Exploratory and road-mapping activities for fundamentally new forms of learning Identification of Grand Challenges Socio-economic evaluations Establishment of a pan-european network of living schools for validations, demonstrations and showcases
