Description of the initiative
The aims of the project are:
1. To stimulate new approaches to teaching and learning
(e.g. inquiry and problem-based learning)
as a means of strengthening students' acquisition of learning skills.
2. To develop a training framework for helping teachers to engage
in learning practices using appropriate educational design tools
whilst ensuring that the framework is based on sound pedagogic principles,
3. To train teachers about the best ways of representing and sharing
lesson plans for articulating complex educational intensions and outcomes
in multiple environments such as face-to-face, online and other technology mediated learning,
4. To develop a community of practice that will facilitate the sustainability of the project,
5. To develop teachers’ training materials in terms of creating training scenarios that will
demonstrate how educational content and ICT tools may be used f
or enhancing students’problem-solving skills,
6. To develop an evaluation framework in order to identify the impact of the proposed
approach in terms of the effectiveness and efficiency of the training process,
7. To disseminate the findings and the outcomes of the project widely in the educational,
technology-development, and policy-making communities in Europe.
More Information
The project offers a shared workspace for teachers: https://fit-bscw.fit.fraunhofer.de/pub/ as well as repository web based resources: http://www.ea.gr/ep/ld-skills/LD-S_repositories The website is not very easy to navigate though and it has a lot of graphics, which make it difficult to work on slower Internet connections.
Teachers’ Opinion
I find it bit difficult to use the project website. The shared workspace for teachers is available only if you have a registration, but in order to have a registration an already registered user must invite you. However I could not find list of registered users to contact or description of an already built network. The repositories work fine and could be used in the teaching practice.
Students’ Opinion
I do not find this project very interesting. The resources it offers I have already seen in other projects and around the web.

The second site presented does not work. Information is not quality information. The site is not well structured and difficult to find the information. I think this initiative can be improved by improving the information on this site and the site itself, adding translation.

I'm familiar with this site for quite some time, is really very good and lessons are explained quite well. I understood many things from there and whenever I have difficulty checking whether there is something that can help me figure it out without having to go to consultations on the item. Video lessons are made in an unconventional way and the speaker explains it as one of his friend and the very tone of voice and how it is stored explained and understood by us (students).

I did not expect such an initiative under that title. The idea is repeated in several of the other initiatives. The site can be improved and specific and well-described purposes can be added.

Dissemination Seminar in Florence

31 October 2015 The seminar has been held in ITIS “A. Meucci” one of the schools involved within Goerudio project activities. Its main aim was to promote the results of the project toward a broad sample of stakeholders even overcrossing the number of people directly involved in the production of project outcomes. This purpose has been totally achieved especially thanks to the participation of students and teachers coming from different schools or from other classes instead of those ones directly involved within the project activities.
