Title:
"The Open School of
Tomorrow"
Abstract:
EDEN has established the Open Classroom
initiative and a Working Group of experts in the field, in order to facilitate the spiral
movement towards the openness of the school education systems, in Europe and the world.
The Open Classroom Working Group is
organising a schools oriented Session for the Open School of Tomorrow, addressing the
transferring of ideas, paradigms and practices from the traditional areas of ODL
applications to the school sector, with the ultimate scope to consider ways of developing
the concept and the use of learning resources, be it content, materials, institutions,
individual experts, museums, libraries, etc., in this sort of complicated, and yet
pragmatic, network, which is in fact being built in our Information Society of the near
future.
During the Session a number of interesting
cases from all over the world will be presented, thus contributing to the development of
good practice for the effective use of ICTs and the application of ODL methodologies in
school communities. |
