“TLE” Software Interconnects Between:
Computer-Based Music Activities
Cognitive and Social Skills
InteractiveFrameworks of Learning
Objectives of the “TLE” Music Software To develop musical understanding through digital activities, a medium strongly rooted in youth culture.
To promote general learning and social skills through computer-based music activities.
To identify individual patterns of learning through interactive E-learning activities.
To facilitate the transfer of skills acquired in music contexts to new contexts.
To cultivate an awareness of similarities and a tolerance of differences among children who stem from multi-cultural backgrounds.
To support international collaborative research.

Interactive Frameworks of Learning: Mediated Learning Experiences
Criteria:
Focusing – intentionality and reciprocity: promoting enhanced teacher–student communication, the mediator engages the child’s attention, while encouraging him/her to actively respond – verbally or non-verbally.
Expanding – going beyond the immediate: expanding the learning situation to include additional experiences and situations.
Mediating meaning and excitement : the teacher’s verbal or non-verbal expressions of appreciation and excitement with regard to objects, concepts, or issues, may enhance the child’s interest in learning, and arouse his/her curiosity regarding the relevance of the material studied.
Look to the Future
