Interactic 2.0

Uma “comunidade de prática” virtual (CdP) é uma rede de indivíduos que têm uma área de interesse comum e sobre a qual comunicam em linha. Estes praticantes partilham recursos (por exemplo experiências, problemas e soluções, ferramentas e metodologias). Esta troca resulta no aprofundamento do conhecimento de cada participante dessa comunidade e contribui para o aumento do conhecimento nessa área de interesse.

This interdisciplinary journal aims to focus on the exchange of relevant trends and research results as well as the presentation of practical experiences gained while developing and testing elements of technology enhanced learning. So it aims to bridge the gape between pure academic research journals and more practical publications. So it covers the full range from research, application development to experience reports and product descriptions.

Development of common interactive whiteboard format

Currently most content files developed for any one type of interactive whiteboard cannot be opened by the software of others. This means that it is not possible for teachers, the National Whiteboard Network, local authorities, or other content publishers to create content that can be used on the software of more than one type of interactive whiteboard. To tackle this problem Becta has, after completing a tendering process, appointed RM to develop a common industry-wide standard that will bring huge benefits to schools, allowing the exchange of resources within and between schools.

The aim of this development is to provide the industry with an interoperability standard, followed by demonstration of support for the format with the production of an open-source file viewer.
