Study report "Virtual Learning Platforms in Europe: What can we learn from experience in Denmark, the United Kingdom and Spain?" has now been released.With the proliferation of ICT equipment and the pedagogical approaches underpinning it, the concept of virtual learning platforms has emerged in several educational systems. This study, entrusted by the Caisse des dépôts to European Schoolnet, offers an analysis of policies and initiatives in the field of virtual learning platforms in Denmark, the United Kingdom and Spain (Andalusia and Catalonia). The first part of this study report provides a summary of each national situation according to a common structure that addresses key features of existing platforms, the services they offer, the status of their deployment, their modes of deployment and governance, their uses and the success factors determining their wider deployment. The second part of the report compares these three national situations in terms of these aspects

So while many of the people we work for (teachers and students) are given allowances to use images from the Web for educational purposes, the sponsor of this Web site is not an educational institution. Still, rather than abandon the richness of art imagery on the Web, or joining into a formal partnership with a museum, our goal was to continue on our mission: creating models of Web-based learning that regular teachers could create (if they had the luxury we enjoy of doing this as our fulltime jobs).

A big part of the Exploratorium's mission is to provide tools to make work (of teachers) easier and more enriching, including things to do at the museum, hands-on activities, and a wealth of Web features about important science topics. The sections below provide more information and examples of some of our materials. Or you can go to our Explore page, where you can search for activities by topic and age range, and browse our Web features and online interactives.

"Chemistry: All About You Teach chemistry in a fun and innovative way"

"De afgelopen jaren werden veel onderzoeksprojecten uitgevoerd naar een zinvolle integratie van ICT-instrumenten in het onderwijs. Deze projecten mondden uit in publicaties over digitale didactiek waarin theoretische modellen en praktijkvoorbeelden werden geanalyseerd. Er is redelijk wat know-how over digitale didactiek voorhanden. Vreemd genoeg heeft tot op heden niemand een omvattende cursus over digitale didactiek uitgewerkt voor lerarenopleidingen in Vlaanderen.   Met dit project beogen we de ontwikkeling van een omvattende cursus over digitale didactiek. Deze cursus kan in elke lerarenopleiding in Vlaanderen (bij uitbereiding in Nederland) worden aangewend om de studenten/cursisten digitale didactische inzichten bij te brengen en ICT-instrumenten op een doordachte manier aan te wenden in een onderwijsleerproces. "

Twitter is an online social networking tool in which users post 140 character updates of what is going on in their lives along with links to things they think are interesting, funny, or useful to their followers ("following" being essentially what "friending" is on other sites). People use twitter in many ways, some as a newsfeed by following prominent people or networks, some as a pseudo-chatroom by limiting their followers and whom they follow to close friends and family, and some as a microblog for updating people about the work they are doing and their personal lives.
