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

Deze publicatie gaat over webquests: leerzame speurtochten op internet. Hiermee verwerven leerlingen niet alleen kennis over een specifiek onderwerp, maar ze leren ook informatie te verzamelen, beoordelen en verwerken in relatie tot een zoekvraag. Bij een webquest werken leerlingen samen aan betekenisvolle opdrachten en gaan actief op zoek naar antwoorden.

Deze publicatie neemt rekenprogramma's onder de loep. Er zijn steeds meer rekenprogramma's beschikbaar, voornamelijk programma's om sommen mee te oefenen en te automatiseren, maar ook programma's waarbij leerlingen zelf op zoek gaan naar oplossingen van rekenvraagstukken. Deze publicatie gaat over de effectiviteit van dit soort programma's . Deze inzichten zijn overigens niet alleen van belang voor leraren die rekenonderwijs geven. Ze zijn zeker ook van waarde voor leraren in andere vakgebieden, voor onderwijsadviseurs en voor ontwikkelaars van digitaal leermateriaal.

This report shows that two actions are at the heart of the drive to make MST studies and professions more popular option for young learners: the development of effective and attractive MST curricula and teaching methods, and improved teacher education and professional development. Some countries (the Netherlands, Norway, Ireland, Israel, Switzerland, and Italy), have implemented national strategies and others have set up dedicated national, regional, or local centres (Norway, Finland, Sweden, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Denmark, the Czech Republic, Portugal, Spain, and Ireland). These centres aim to improve the quality of MST teaching, and sometimes more particularly, to increase science and technology's popularity (also achieved through campaigns and competitions). This holistic approach usually includes all MST subjects, covers the lifelong learning span and involves the government, educational sector and industry. Public-private partnerships are an important feature of these all-encompassing approaches, aimed at developing a sustainable scientific culture which is deep-rooted in society. Other common approaches are to establish networks of teachers and teacher trainers, as well as other relevant stakeholders, and to implement curricular reform and initiatives favouring inquiry-based learning (e.g. cross-disciplinary, thematic or project work). In some countries, extra time, funding and smaller student groups enable more handson MST activities in laboratories and outdoors.
