Goals of the meeting 28/2/06

Pedagogical and technological workshops Take the reflection and exchange process a

step further– Identifying existing applications of mobile learning

that could be implemented in schools

Goals of the meeting 1/3/06

How are we going to combine the pedagogical needs and technological platform?

Address issues– What is the pedagogical need that needs to be

addressed?– What is ‘innovative state-of-the art application’ for

us, the COLLAGE consortium?

Financial and administrative issues Leave the meeting with a checklist of things

to be done

Overall objective of the project

COLLAGE aims at:

using existing experiences in the field of mobile learning applications in Europe, so that existing best practices are integrated in an innovative, really state-of-the-art mobile learning support and information application.

More specific objectives

innovative, more flexible approach to e-learning, a rich pattern of integrated formal, non-formal and informal

learning spaces (learning at school, in museums and sites of interest, at home, in the street, during travelling, etc.),

integration of a blend of technologies (laptops, PDAs, mobile phones, the Internet) into a single learning-supporting and learning-enhancing environment.

development of a new ‘everywhere-learning’ and ‘lifelong-learning’ culture among secondary school students,

No barriers between school activities and everyday life, and that learning is related to life in general rather only to schooling.

History Education: a visit to Acropolis•students get information (drawings, historical events, etc) about the monument •the history teacher has uploaded information to the database earlier •students capture moments of their visit with the camera of the device •students upload photos for future reference.

Learning everywhere

Students visit the Benaki museum:•they take pictures and notes •they participate in several games, e.g. treasure hunting•they communicate with the class mates who did not attend the visit.

Learning in a playful way

Means for achieving the project’s goals

The integration of existing best practices into the design and development of a pedagogical framework for the effective integration of e-learning into the school environment

The adoption and integration of existing technologies into an innovative COLLAGE platform for mobile learning

Means for achieving the project’s goals

The implementation and test of the COLLAGE learning support and information service with secondary school students and their teachers

The pedagogical evaluation of the COLLAGE project

The validation of the best practices of the COLLAGE project at a European level

The dissemination of the project, the exploitation of its potential for further development

Target groups of the project:

Direct target group: Secondary school students (12- 16 years old) Secondary school teachers

Indirect target groups: Parents education policy makers technology developers general public
